I show my sculptures in architectural and historic sites in Italian cities of arts, exploring the intersection of the timeless with our time.
My pencil drawings are contemplative still-life. I portray abandoned objects: empty boxes, cartons, mechanical pieces, engine parts and cardboard cut outs are depicted in metaphysical compositions.
Artists are idea-makers and, subsequently, activists through sharing.
Boxes, used packaging and mechanical metal waste, finds from everyday life, take part in a universal narrative, and reveal their meaning only through the contemplation of the observer.
I am currently working on a series of new works on the Martyrs Secondiano, Veriano and Marcelliano, who were the first activists to sacrifice their lives in the name of their ideas. This theme is leading me to a new project that I will reveal as soon as it is fully finalized.
You are welcome to visit my Studio in Umbria, Italy. For directions please email me.
