“His art is always aimed to capture the uncommon aspects of reality. His sounding is launched to investigate the distance between
the surface and the depth of a man.” (Valerio Deho’)
BIOGRAPHY
His artistic research has a creative route constant and consistent, he landed for years now in a coded language, recognizable and identifiable.
His first artwork is THE DEVIL ON THE HILLS, published on volume in May 1998. It is a photographic work started in 1992 that will be exhibited in Cordoba and Malaga (Spain), Graz (Austria) and Bratislava (Slovakia). The work was reviewed by the major Italian magazines. LESS THAN A MOMENT BEFORE DEATH, 1998, follows. The artwork was firstly exhibited in Arles (France) and then presented the following year in The Prinz Gallery of Kyoto (Japan). In the same year the artwork entitled SHADOWS OF THOUGHTS was published. In 1999 he presented THE CITY OF THE LOST FACES at Palazzo Querini Dubois in Venice (Italy). In May 2000 was in Milan (Italy) at Palazzo della Triennale, where he exhibited TRILOGY OF NATURE. From the beginning, there are many photography magazines that highlight his work. Always in 2000 he began THE DERI ISLAND, which in November 2001 was shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zilina (Slovakia) and published on volume in December 2002. And this is the turning point: after the climax of black we can witness to the gradual domination of white, the photography with the interaction of matter becomes a participant of a new path. Meanwhile, in September 2000, the project Casa-Atelier was born: to create an artist house which reproduces elements of the Mediterranean world. He personally renovated a building in the historic center of Castelfidardo (Marche - Italy) and on September 26th 2004 he inaugurated the ATELIER CHAMBRE. In March 2006 he was awarded by the City of Castelfidardo (Italy) with the Medal of talent and, in December of the same year, he was included by Prof. Armando Ginesi in the book Le Marche and the twentieth century - Federico Motta Editore. In 2008, at the Archaeological Excavations at the Palace of the Captains in Ascoli Piceno (Italy), a large selection of his artworks was presented and published a catalog with critical text by Dr. Giovanna Bonasegale - director of Municipal Gallery in Modern and Contemporary Art of Rome (Italy). Meanwhile there are many galleries that have decided to treat his work and in the same year, the 2008, are also on display at the Italian Cultural Institute in Bratislava (Slovakia). Always in 2008, in November, develop the project WHITECIRCLE to realize an animated short film entitled MAOR which won the Special Jury Mention at the Festival Short Doric 2009. The approach to the sculptural world led him to design HORUS, his first public work commissioned by the City of Castelfidardo (Italy) in 2010. In 2012 realizes instead on private commission another work in public use, a large roundabout called GROW where the essence is the becoming of perfection. In 2013, the Ferretti Foundation is the buyer for a site specific work in memory of the Battle of Castelfidardo and in their nature park he creates a new public work entitled ORIGIN. Meanwhile, began the renovation of a new building in 2011, he leads to term in 2014 a further element of the major project Chambre, shared as for the Atelier with his wife Federica Spagnolo: the RELAIS CHAMBRE, an abode of art where to stay and be guests in the atmosphere of his works. In 2015 it was the turn of the public work ALCHEMICAL SECRET, a new roundabout on commission of the City of Offagna and the Province of Ancona. He always continues the bright and lively exhibition activity with its reference galleries and he states in national and international competitions on large projects for installations of his works like for the new Biomass Plant in the Province of Macerata, for the new Center of Civil Protection in the Province of Trento, for the new Terminal of Alghero Airport and for that of Trieste Airport, for the new Office Districts in Ancona and for that of Czech Republic in the capital Prague. In 2017 the sculpture FERRO #6 becomes part of the Homer State Tactile Museum collection and in the same year he has completed the work of the new roundabout entitled EYES. Two of his sculptures - UP and ABBRACCIO - in which are strong the linguistic icons now dominant in his works, have been placed in the park of Sparvoli Collection. In the recent years, exactly from 2010, is carrying out the GEOTAG project which marks a return to basics with pure photography, a project where he condenses its symbolic and linguistic imaginary and he creates an evocative work of geo-localization of himself, a personal code to draw on to investigate the beauty of nature and stop the fleetingness of gaze. In March 2019, the same project is included in the INTERNI magazine of Mondadori while in April the debut also takes place in the theater with the realization of the scenography for the monologue CASSANDRA. Also noteworthy is the release of the TRACCE documentary, an intimate story based on his diaries and texts he has written over the years, with the premiere views at the Osvaldo Licini Museum in Ascoli Piceno and at the Matalon Foundation in Milan. Lastly, in May 2019 one of his works is selected by the Blindarte Auction House in Milan and on commission of Lega del Filo d’Oro he creates a new sculpture entitled GENESI which is positioned at the entrance of their New National Center.
