I was born in Bari on October 22, 1970, and after completing my artistic high school diploma, I pursued further studies at the Faculty of Architecture at the "G. D'Annunzio" University in Pescara. Driven by a deep passion for art, I have devoted many years to mastering a variety of painting techniques, ranging from ancient methods such as traditional fresco and encaustic to contemporary artistic expressions. Between 1990 and 2004, I worked as a freelance illustrator and visualizer specializing in architecture, design, and advertising, gaining national recognition and numerous awards. Since 2005, I have focused primarily on painting while collaborating as an artist and art director with companies dedicated to creating original frescoes and large-scale murals for both public and private commissions in Italy and internationally. I am also a passionate educator, representing The Fine Art Collective in Italy and leading workshops and seminars on fresco techniques. I currently live and work in Desenzano del Garda, where I run my drawing and painting school, L’ArtHysteria ® – Bottega di disegno e pittura.
