I was born in 1975. I live and work in Rome as an architect. It was a good day when I started to transfer my thoughts into art, and so I felt better.
What I do. I’m using my knowledge in the architectural field (both technical and formal) as a focus of my artistic work. Indeed, It is universally recognize that a deep connection exists between art and architecture, but it is also clear that architecture, unlike the former, cannot be built in the absence of specific and absolute rules and contents; it must obey, before its user’s haestetic judgement, the laws of nature and humans, in order to establish with certainty its consistency and functionality. Architecture develops through well-coded and structured procedures. At least the art is free.
So I’m following the boundary of these two disciplines, so similar and different at the same time, to suggest another way of seeing things and decode the concepts and principles underlying the architectural experience in visual suggestions; through matter, space, geometry, light and gravity. With my work I ask people to stop and think about what is other than us and drive behind the appearances; because only by changing the point of view we can increase our awarness as humans and fully understand the complexity of our relationships and the weight of our footprint on this planet, with all it contains, living or not. The best way to reach somewhere is not always the shortest one.
The tuff stone, a typical italian volcanic limestone featured by low homogeneity and cohesion, is one of my favourite material, thanks to its expressiveness and historical value in our living culture, since the dawn of time. By working on the contrast between its rough aspect and the perfection of rebuilt surfaces and geometries, I'm trying to bring this poor brick over the wall in which it is sadly confined.
Wires, ropes and threads are other materials that I love using in my installations and theatrical scenographies, to create shapes from nothing.
