Until 2017, I lived in Florence where I worked in the field of conservation and restoration of Cultural Heritage through my own company Artconservation, cooperating with important museums, cultural institutions and Universities in Italy and abroad. From the 2001, I taught “TheoryofRestoration”and“RestorationandArtisticTechniques”intheUniversityofCagliariandFerrara.
After many years of commitment in my job, I decided to take a sabbatical. I currently live between Italy and Belgium, devoting myself completely to artistic creation, my great passion ever.
My work covers mostly figurative paintings, drawings and sculptures exploring the hidden parts of human mind and soul. I’mattractedbytheunknownpowerofthebrainandhowemotionscanimpactonthehumanbody.
