Biography

G.D. was born in Milan, to an Italian mother and a Dutch father. He's teenager when he reveals a character that can be defined as "outside the box" and a particular observation skill of the reality that surrounds him, for him never obvious. Eclectic, intuitive, ready to catch the smallest detail. He continued attendance in school going through studies in accounting and computer science, but with a critical spirit and a growing desire to "see farther." Much of his culture was acquired and completed as a self-taught, as a curious knowledge. The young George is not a rebel, he is rather a person who is not satisfied to walk the street already mapped out. At age 15, while most of his peers spend their time between football games and the first video games, GD began to cultivate an entirely unique passion: the legerdemain and illusion. He then enrolled at the Circle of Magic Piero Pozzi in Milan and at I.B.M. (The International Brotherhood of Magicians) and gave a new direction to his life. The strong attitude towards this artistic expression led him to tread the boards and to successfully carry out show activities for many years (from 1988 until 2010). He is perfectionist, both at work and in daily life, scrupulous and careful, guided by intuition and a vision that few people have.
His main engine, what he makes tough in research and effective in contact with the public, is the desire to see wonder in the eyes of others. Exactly in line with this vocation, after having represented on stage amazement, GD turned his strong inclination to produce several inventions, arising from his always think "beyond". Patents and innovation ideas led him in 2009 to the creation of a restaurant from the original formula, intended as a place of encountering and exchanging of real positive human energy.
Despite this new activity is still giving him great satisfaction and commitment, he can't force his creativity in any specific place and during these years another great passion borns: photography. He does it in his own style, trying to grasp what is not under the eyes of all and then it can surprising.
Through a common thread, that always distinguishes his life and his career choices, we can also understand the origin of his art: the images want to suggest that reality always has a side less obvious, sometimes magical, something that our haste usually neglected, but which can be quite charming... As the unexpected.
