I’m a conceptual visual artist. I use photography and installation. My art research is based on the relationship between human being, environment, emotions and time. “Images as ways to understand and express reality”: the fusion between people, objects and places and the flat perspectives in my photographs, they help me to build a still-reality where emotions are cold and perfect. Single images, where a single story can be discovered, or sequences of images where a concept can be well-explained. I try to use photography to communicate, as a language.
I'm a visual artist and commercial photographes based in Milan, Italy. I’ve worked also, for five years and after a EU special degree, as production assistant of cultural events (organization of exhibition, contest, music events, press office) especially to practice languages that I’ve studied at school (English, Spanish, French) and to understand how is working with different people in different life situations.
