From Switzerland, born in Ticino in 1969. He studied in Lugano attending the CSIA, then continued in the art world spending a whole year on marble and granite.
Attentive to his territory, to the people he encounters on a daily basis.
Eager to confront and assimilate the nature of other places, spaces, people and cultures.
He draws, paints, photographs, writes, restores. Modifying matter and making it his own fascinates him: he feels that vital sense of omnipotence in creating and bringing it to life that becomes an obsession.
"Equal to God who with mud created man, woman, animals, nature: a world".
Adam's world, made of euphoria and despair, a kind of curse.
He finds his true material by encountering foundry, with the ancient technique of lost-wax casting, from which his bronzes are born. It fascinates him so much that he falls viscerally in love with it. The hot fire of casting, like the sun, gives soul to his creations. He worked for a year in a Ticino foundry, where he absorbed techniques and secrets, a real training ground for his artistic journey. With his waxes, he takes the technique to the extreme of possibility.
For him, expressive artistic life becomes even more of an obsession: carnal, cerebral, physical and vital. Like the soul of a fusion. He has always been fascinated by the mind and the psyche: the brain and its soul.
That organ similar to the heart but different in function; similar in emotions, sensations.
Both absolute masters of the body, also seductive and fascinating.
He loves to observe people whose souls he steals, borrowing their hearts and minds.
He also does this with himself, letting his emotions run through him to make art, his art.
He has always concluded a collection with a 'head', a personal skull box.
He reads inside himself and in people, in the roots of minds: and brings it back to earth as fruit to be plucked. Like laying the newborn child on its mother's lap.
He expressively encloses his territory between religion and sex, those opposites that delineate the space I want to conquer, giving omnipotence to the cerebral synapses.
He continues his collection "MentalMente" and "ManiacalMente", cranial and thoracic boxes, where heart and brain are protected.
