STUDIES AND TRAINING
1983 High School Diploma in Applied Art (Architecture and Furnishings section), State Institute of Art of Gorizia (Max Fabiani Art School)
1992 1st Level Academic Diploma (four-year degree) in Industrial Design (+ Colorimetry and Chromatology course), European Institute of Design in Milan
After overcoming the hyperrealist portraitist phase, in his first exhibitions in Austria at the end of the 70s, he exhibited works of expressionist copy-art.
At the end of the 80s he then dedicated himself to the study of chromatic harmonic modulations with two- dimensional works and dynamic luminous installations.
In the 90s he founded the avant-garde group "Manifestazioni Spontanee" (Spontaneous Manifestations) with Itten, Dracup, Tomasini and Camuffo.
This is followed by exhibitions where the works are produced in the absence of vigilant conscience, filmed and then defined with virtual technologies. After a short period of producing body art in the late 1990s he finally dedicated himself to an intense production of abstract expressionist works.
This is how artistic production evolves and his works can be found in numerous international private collections.
He is present in the general artists' catalog of the Encyclopedia of Italian Art, in the Mondadori International Yearbook of Contemporary Art '24 and in the Catalog of Modern Art (ex Bolaffi, N°60)
He then works as an architectural designer, interior designer in Italy, former Yugoslavia, Germany, etc. , fashion graphic designer in Milan and London, fabric designer in Como, painter decorator for naval fittings in Monfalcone, Miami, Charleston, Bahamas, etc.
