Graduation year

2002

I am an Italian digital artist working since 2007 with prints, videos and textile design.
I had exhibitions of my prints and videos in galleries in Italy, UK and US including Alphaville festival and Brick Lane gallery in London, Art Basel Miami 2010 with XXXXmagazine, Big Screen Plaza and Observatory Room in NY with Borderline Projects.
In 2013, Chadi, my project with FieldCandy outstanding tents was released to the public.

In 2012, I worked with costume designer and 3 Academy Awards winner Milena Canonero, creating inspirational digital patterns for next Wes Anderson's movie, The Grand Budapest Hotel, for the character of Madame D, played by Tilda Swinton. I exhibited with A.I. Gallery in Rome and A.I.Remove at White trade show in Milan.

A profile about my work with textiles has been published on Vogue Italy New Talents in March 2011.
My accessories are all in limited editions and printed in Como, Italy. Special, exclusive pieces which I tend to see as precious textile arras too. I work with conceptual series rather than seasonal collections.

From prints to videos to textiles, it seemed like a natural consequence in my work and the match with textile surfaces works perfectly with my images. I create mysterious images, with strong protagonists and antagonists that fight or love each other, where the viewer can get lost and can follow the imagination.
I always felt and believed in the existence of many invisible stories and characters around me and in the hidden, secret lives of objects. This is how I try to recount these stories.
