I was born in Naples, Italy. My background broadens to the fields of painting, performance, and Installation

After his degree in classical sculpture in Naples I moved to London where I studied to a Master in “Social Sculpture” at Oxford Brookes University.

Social Sculpture in Fact Opened me to discover a new way of working that involves the participation and sensibilization from the audience to the environment and eco-system.

My interest is nowadays focusing on Steiner’s esoteric theories and indirectly links to the search of inner truth found in the Bagdavagita and other spiritual readings. I participated to exhibitions and performance events worldwide including: Biennale of young artists in Moscow, Gwangju Biennale in South Korea, The Museum of Palestine in Cape Town and and the institute of Palestine in South Africa in 2015.
