Bio

Italian immigrant son in Switzerland, I was born in Geneva in 1966. After my compulsory education I did a few years in a school of applied arts before doing an apprentice ship in advertising craft. After a lifetime as an employee, I realize that I prefer to paint and I love it. Having sold canvases and gained confidence, I am now 100% involved in this activity. I consider art as my life path. Wild and free energy, the creation of my paintings must pass as little as possible through the intellect and the ego.The emotions arising from the result of my work are not the fruit of a conscious will but rather of the emergence of my inconscious and, perhaps, of the collective unconscious.My paintings can touch people because they come from the influence of the present both in their forms and in their backgrounds. Trough the aesthetics that emerge from the patterns and colors, the viewer is taken on a motionless journey reflecting my state at the time of the realization.Time stands stills in a kind of enchantment.The time freezing, the true light can pass between two moments of confusion. The painting is the testimony of this fleeting moment of eternity.The vibrations of my paintings come from complementary colors which combine to find a balance tending towards a poetics of unity.
