Biography
I am a photographer who combines tradition with innovation. What fascinates me is the urban decay; I draw inspiration from old and abandoned homes, from block of flats, barrack-like buildings, popular areas and rooms which are in disuse. I like to create nice photos with a bit of decadentism and surrealism, sometimes even with a touch of black humour. I mostly work in my neighbourhood, or in the immediate vicinities, searching for odd perspectives, different angles and colours. Indeed my use of colour aims at giving a particular stress to the psychological state of things.
In 2004 I began my expositive activity. Some of the most important expositions include my admission to the biennals in Arad (Romania), Hong Kong, Sofia (Phodar), Cuenca, Liverpool (Indipendent), Santorini (Greece), Porto Santo (Portugal), Ballarat (Australia), Madeira (Portugal), Gabrovo (Bulgary, Biennial of Humour and Satire in the Arts), Castelvetro (Italy, Biennal of the Absurd), Caserta (Italy), Groton (Usa, Latin Views Biennial), as well as the participation to the Photography Festival in Rome, to to the Asiatic Photography Festival in Dhaka (Bangladesh), to the Festival de la Luz in Buenos Aires, to the Kunstfestival Begehungen in Chemnitz and to the Fotografia Europea Festival in Reggio Emilia (OFF network, finalist). During these years some expositions dedicated to my works have taken place: at the Bertolt Brecht gallery in Milan and the other in Haarlem (Holland), in the space of the art gallery ArtUnit. Other art galleries and associations have showed interest for my conception of photography, too, such as the Denver Sellars Project Space, Infantellina Contemporary (Berlin) and the London Photographic Association.
