The beginning
work in progress
In my readings as a boy I was also fascinated by stylites: Simeon styled the old man, and others, ascetics who are said to have lived for tens of years on top of a column, in arid and desert places. Then we grow, we become adults, they change perspectives, but memories remain, ferment, sprout, and come back in the form of ideas. Hence the idea of this table, with the mirages of a crowded desert, with naked tempting women, lions, monkeys who give flowers, masks and scuba fins, caravans, astonished girls. All figures apparently unrelated, but offering the idea of a perpetual temptation.

Born in Villabate (Palermo ,Italy) and after the first vernissage in Palermo in 1977, for thirty years living and working in Florence, with a painter and graphic and exhibitions in various Italian and foreign cities and present in collections in Los Angeles, Milan, Palermo, Buenos Aires; Houston. Painter of ideas and dream situations where dreams emerge and references to past... I've been painting since I was fifteen. I am proud to be self-taught, not to have attended any art school, to have learned everything that I would like to give and to learn from my mistakes. Like in art, so in life. I define myself as a painter of ideas, mine. In the sense that I try to give a face and a stage to situations, people, things, facts that I imagined or only lived or that in any case have merged in my experiences. I have made up to now more than 900 works, which considering the care and the meticulousness with which I work is a nice goal for me. I have decided to include here some works of my property, with the title also the year of execution to give the idea of a journey through the various meanders of art. I started painting very young and went through various styles of painting. Without ever neglecting the dreamlike aspect. In recent years I identify more with the surreal aspect of reality in which we live.
