I remember that as a child I loved painting and colouring, they were a true passion, a passion passed on by my mother. As I grew up, however, I completely abandoned drawing. But painting was in my destiny and after about thirty years it came knocking again my door. One day I decided to repaint an old piece of furniture I had at home and with great amazement I immediately noticed the profound well-being that brushes and colors gave me. A few days later I returned home from work with a great desire to dive into color again; I took some cans of paint, dismantled a shelf from a trolley, placed it on the ground and let myself go. I attached forks and cups to the wooden board and began to drip the color with a knife. In a few minutes my first work was born ..the first of a very long series. The following days I continued to give breath to this irrepressible desire of mine for colour; shelves, furniture, forks, knives, spoons, logs of wood collected on the beach, everything was good to give free rein to what by now, evidently, I had inside and forcefully wanted to come out. A few weeks later my house was completely invaded by my first works; I continued to paint, also encouraged by the surprised comments of friends and relatives. I felt that this new passion was about to become my life , the love grew, the desire became more and more ardent; I spent hours and hours locked in the house painting, creating, experimenting... inside me it was a tumult of emotions. I had never felt like this! Day after day it seemed more and more It was clear what my path was. Four months after the creation of my first work, on May 6th 2013, a light bulb went on in me: I remember that in 5 minutes I made the biggest decision crazy but also the craziest right, I left home, work, relatives and friends and decided to go to Palma De Mallorca to be a street artist. I loaded the car with paintings, paints and some suitcases and I was already on my way to the Spanish island Calle San Miguel was my place of work; I, who had never had a stall even as a child, found myself on the street selling my paintings alongside artists from all over the world. In that period I was also noticed by a gallery owner who he had me exhibit in his gallery for a good three months, thus giving life to my first solo exhibition. After leaving Palma I made a brief return to Italy and then left for New Zealand. I rolled up some of my canvases and took them with me from other part of the planet, convinced and increasingly determined to fight for the dream that had changed my life. I created a collaboration with an Auckland gallery and returned to Europe. Since then I have never stopped stopped; I continue to paint and travel the world with my canvases, always looking for new stimuli and emotions.
