Active Since the end of the 80's in that generation of artists born after the 1960 that imposed themselves after the experiences of Arte Povera and Transavanguardia. His work is placed from the beginning in the "Emerging Scene" documented by the Museum Pecci of Prato in 1990, in which a new generation emerged outside the ideologies that characterized the past years, crosses the most diverse mediums, from installation to painting, from photography to video
His work has focused on an abstract painting, in which the performative aspect plays a central role. The Color as an emotional vehicle, the painting practiced as a musical score.
