I was born in Pisa, Italy, in 1971.
Since 1990 I work in the Institute of Clinical Physiology (IFC) of the italian National Research Council (CNR) where I dealt of electronic devices (1990-1995) then I moved at the Multimedia Lab to support researchers in their educational and research activities and where I learned to use videocameras, cabling, audio video transmissions, video editing.
I started as self-taught painter in 1996 but since 2003 I started to use also the photography medium, video and videoinstallations for my artworks. Most recently I started to make land art installations (2013) also adding interactive devices due to my study in electronic (2016).
One of the two projects I have, the Progetto Costellazioni, begins by the question if we still need the stars, started with Costellazione Toro land art installation (about 100 meter of lenght) for the IV Montegemoli Biennale M'arte (2013) followed by Orione, il grande cacciatore (2015) for MateriaPrima artist in residence here in Tuscany, Alcor and Mizar for Art in the Woods at 2016 Holmfirth Art festival in UK (2016-second prize) where I first used an interactive device applied for a land art installation (since 2010 I use interactive systems for some light boxes and paintings). In the summer of 2016 I was invited for the M'Arte Personale 2016 to realize two installations and a solo exhib about this project, Costellazioni Larderello (a photographic installation with LEDs) and Pegaso, 10 stories for 10 stars, a land art Pegaso constellation with 10 interactive old telephones. In these last 2 years (2017-2018) I made other 2 land art for the project and 2 site-specific installations: Come Iadi tra le Pleiadi (interactive) and Große Wagen, in Weimar (DE), the Kháos of Cosmos, as winner of Window Project Winter 2017 at Gazelli Art House in London and Costellazioni Larderelo/light art, a wide projection on 4 big geothermal cooling towers in Larderello (PI). In May 2019 I made my first evanescent land artwork in the beach at Ifitry artist residence in Moroc. October 2022 I made the interactive land art installation “Frange d’interferenza” (together with the electronic musician Massimo Magrini/Bad Sector) at European Gravitational waves Observatory EGO-VIRGO in Cascina (IT). For 2023 I’m going to realize an interactive land art installation for Supergau festival in Austria.

Another argument I feel very much is the human condition of our society that I try to realize with the Anxiety of the Modern Man pop art project, that wants to reflect on our actual modern condition and way of thinking, our concept of democracy, the role of mass media and politics using installations, paintings, crayons, magazines and mirrors. I talk about this condition using a well-dressed man with a red bull's mask, using painting, photo-collages, deforming mirrors, adhesives and other objects.

 
Another argument I feel very much is the human condition of our society that I try to realize with two projects: the first one, started in 2016 is an evolution of the kites and bull's project (closed in 2017), and as the title play, the Anxiety of the Modern Man, wants to reflect on our actual modern condition and way of thinking, our concept of democracy, the role of mass media and politics using installations, paintings, crayons, magazines and mirrors.
The second project called #Migrantes is about the condition of migrants, migrations and wars and it's started in 2013 with a short graphic novel about the Lampedusa shipwreck.

In closing, together with Nico Malvaldi, we founded Cantiere Nuovo, a cultural association based in Marina di Pisa that since 2012 brings contemporary art installations and exhibits in my native village, I'm a member of Corte Tripoli Cinematografica, a short movies cultural association based in Pisa and a member of the artist team based in Psia called Secondo Piano a Sinistra.
