I'm a Belgian Artist with Italian origins born in 1992. I currently live and work in Brussels. I studies plastic, visual and spacial arts before devoting myself seriously to my creation.

Since 2005, I've been experimenting and developing my skills,. It took me a whole but in Januray 2022. I finally decided to "go out there" and start showing my work to the public.

Reviving vintage toys while giving them deeper meaning is now my endeavor.

My work is teeming with details in a naive, organic and colorful style reminiscent of free figuration and characterized by the repetion and the entanglement of mass-produced collectible children's toys offered to attract the consumer.

For this (still ongoing) first Collection I'm using Kinder surprises but I want to use similar toys with the same intention, meaning and goal like McDonald's toys, Kellogg's toys etc.

Apart from my desire to drive back the spectator right back into childhood by reemerging all sorts of feelings, my work addresses different social and economic issues of our society.
