Artist of Neapolitan origins, lives and works in Rome. After the first exhibitions at Galleria Il Segno in Rome, he attracted the attention of critics in exhibitions such as Trasparenze dell'arte italiana sulla via della seta (Transparencies of Italian art on the silk road) curated by Achille Bonito Oliva, set up in Beijing in 1993, the XII Quadrennial in 1996 or, among the most recent events, Spettri: palinsesti della memoria (Spettri: palimpsests of memory) at the Museo Madre in Naples in 2022. Glass, wax, lead and iron are the materials with which he creates works born from constant reflection on the concepts of fragility and precariousness of every balance.
