Porto Cesareo (LE), 1972. Lives and works in Milan, Florence and Porto Cesareo. He attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Lecce and the Advanced Course of Visual Arts of the Ratti Foundation.He bases his work on the creation of performances that combine theatricality and rituality in a constant reference to popular culture and iconography. His artistic practice seeks a metaphysical dimension with which they aim to go beyond a theatrical dimension. His tableau vivants, made of “living” paintings or sculptures, live on imaginary made manifest in dialogue and connection with symbols linked to esotericism.
