visual artist, illustrator and author

My work as a visual artist, illustrator and author stems from the need for storytelling, intended as a primary human necessity, part of our nature since the time of rupestrian paintings.

​

In my research I focus on all those forms that can be seen as part of a universal consciousness - or a collective memory - coming from places far away in space and time - symbols, spirituality, folklore and popular traditions, mythology and religions, fairy tales and legends understood as narrative archetypes, and in general any form that retains archaic or primitive characters.

​

The connection with the natural world is a further founding element of my research, which sees nature and culture as two intertwined realities that influence each other in various ways.
