Bio

I was born in Turin on november 10 1982.
I spent my infancy between Settimo Torinese and Castellino Tanaro. The first one is a little city near Turin and the other one is a village in the land called “Langhe”. During summers, the main leisure was a little carpentry. Under a big pine tree I built little and simple objects.
I was 8-9 when I first did use nails in a not normal way.
After the secondary school, I moved to Rivarolo Canavese. It’s a little country in the north under the national park Gran Paradiso.
I went to scientific high school Aldo Moro. During the fourth year, I did partecipate to a school trip that is the first spark in the art world: I worked on a sheet of plaster and I did create a television screen with a zoo inside with plastic tigers and elephants. I did write a lot.
In 2001, I went to University in Turin and I moved in the City.
First, I was interested in advertising and graphics, but I soon directed my studies to Cinema, the moving images.
In 2006, I did graduate with a semiotic thesis about “Paths of Glory” by Stanley Kubrick and a few months later I went to a master in “Editing and writing of audiovisual products”.
The first painting was created in 2005 in a period of various interests and different commitments.
One day, it did begin a language I call “Synapses”: 2 nails or 2 screws and a thread to connect them: these are the bones.

From 2015, I do have a space I use as a workshop place, studio and gallery: yeah!
