Biography
I was born in 1948 in Tricase, in the Salento area of Puglia. Since 1970 in Milan, where I graduated in Architecture and follow the engraving courses at Brera.
Milan's artistic environment of the early seventies, I produce the first works of the cycles of the city skyline and Lovers and dormant. I organize solo exhibitions and participated in various artistic events. In the decade 1975-1985, with frequent trips to various European capitals, we elaborate two new series of paintings that are titled Scrap unrecoverable Conche and salt. Between 1985 and 1992, I have a studio in Milan, and are the years in which start-up research From the Garden. The theme From the Garden, because of the vastness of the poetic content, becomes the metaphor of the world and constitutes a veritable treasure trove of images to bring to "light" to weave and to shreds.
More recently I work to a theme that has title Dream Barocco having noted the strong relationship between today and the artistic period: even in the modern world the glut of images reminiscent of excessive decorative style of the time; formalism which surpasses the substance; the superfluous, the essential.
I live in Pontida (Bg) and work in my lab: STUDIO-RIVIERA.
