Born 1991 in Merate, Italy. He lives and works in Milan.

His work visually restores natural processes, set in technological and digital scenarios, where shape, color and matter take on a new meanings. The artworks “Fragments of contemporary landscapes” are blooming of an era in which man-environment relationship become the currently most relevant issue.

“I’ve always been fascinating by the biological complexity I find in nature.
A dense network of hidden and interconnected relations ”

He seeks a tension between detail and context, a complexity that leads audience to a continuous shift of perspective. Math, ecology, programming and chemistry are the media used to focus the subject of an artwork in order to inspect the process of its creation. He adopts a transdisciplinary approach, a 360-degrees view, encompasses digital processing, sculpture, photography and installation.
