BIO

I started as a child in the Bruno Munari

and Maria Montessori Nursery in Genoa

in 1993. I studied at a Classic High

school in Genoa and the I moved to

Milan to attend the university of design

IED. I worked as a designer for three

years in Milan of which two years in

TOG, Philippe Starck new born company.

I decided to move to London to follow my

desire of painting and I studied at

Wimbledon College of Arts while I was

living being a gardener and painting in a

little studio outside the city center.

I do not have a specific method of working and I can capture inspirational sparks

anywhere around me and inside of me.

I try not to create a style, but instead to always be working on what interests me.

The work I have submitted for this competition is a collection from my recent ideas

and found on the limits of representation of human form and challenging what we

recognize as human form.

From London my studio has been in Genoa since July this year.
