I live and work in Bologna, Italy. I have been going through several
experiences for the past 20 years: music, writing, photographing,
performing.Since 1990 I’m focused on making acrylics with the stencil
technique on canvas, board or other medium. I'm very active in the Mail
Art network and I've joined more than 800 projects so far followed by
many group exhibits all over the world. I have done some personal
exhibits in Bologna:
1990:
"Scratches On The Walls". A photographic journey, discovering the many
different graffiti styles of Europe.
1993:
"Cyclopean Power". Graphic works presenting bicycles as the best way
to move in the city.
1995: "Happy Birthday Cinema!". A celebration of the
cinema in a combination of acrylic and graphic collage.
1997:
"Homage To Andy Warhol". An intense use of graphics, stencils,
copy art and collages to celebrate one of the most intriguing minds of
Modern Arts, on the 10th anniversary of his death. In
1997
I was invited to join the exhibition "Symbols Of The 21st Century" held
by the Museum of Post and Communication in Berlin. I completed my
largest Mail Art piece (13x7ft) for it. On a smaller scale, some of my
Mail Art artworks have become printed postcards:
1995:
Rodolfo Valentino Centennial commissioned by the Municipality of
Castellaneta, the birthplace of Valentino.
1997: Homage To Andy Warhol, commissioned by the Andy
Warhol Museum in Medzilborciach (Slovakia). Some of my works appeared
also on Printmaking Today (U.K.), winter 2000 and spring 2001 issues, on
Somerset Studio (USA) sep/oct 2003, Paris Capitale (France) oct/nov
2003. Since 2002 I join Remember September a Mail Art project which is
developed by Gail Ellspermann, Katona, NY to commemorate, on an annual
basis, the tragic attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001. On
2006 I’ve joined some important projects as:
