Born in Lausanne in 1980, I spent my childhood in the countryside of the cantons of Vaud and Valais, my curiosity for the arts in general always burgeoning.<\/p>

At the age of twenty, I went to Ticino, partly to trace my roots, partly to learn decorative techniques. This experience only increased my desire to learn, and I went to Paris to do the painter-decorator training of the Institut Sup\u00e9rieur de peinture d\u00e9corative. I only had one objective in mind that of opening my eyes, in a concrete way, to the world of decorative arts. This was a true learning experience, as I lived through hard times, times of doubt but also of joy. At the end of this training, I received my diploma and a prize. I had grown.<\/p>

In 2006, on leaving Tuscany, I had a revelation\u2026 I united my two passions, that is, music and painting, so that they would combine to make one art form. I had always considered these media to be on the same wavelength, in the way they affect us. Finally, through my work, thanks to my technique, I was able to find a way to express everything I was feeling deep down inside, without limits, everything that had matured in my head over the years could eventually come out. I searched for inspiration in the depths of my being.<\/p>

In 2010, I joined SUISA (Swiss author-composer) and Florence rewarded me at the Palazzo Vecchio by being awarded the Premio XXVIII, painting section. I was also awarded several prizes in Florence in the following years. I had the opportunity to exhibit in several places in Florence between 2010 and 2015, including the Caff\u00e8 Guibbe Rosse, a revolutionary place where illustrious predecessors passed through.<\/p>

Encouraged and motivated by art critics, I went to New York in 2014. A gallery in Chelsea was\u2009interested in the themes I explored, the energy that comes out of my paintings and in my technique. They\u2009offered me a place to show my artwork. In 2014, I also got the opportunity to exhibit some paintings in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Since then I have moved to the Riviera Vaudoise, taking inspiration from grandiose landscapes of this region.<\/p>

Curious about nature, feeling at one with nature, I observe it a lot and after a while flashes come to me\u2009\u2013\u2009ideas, sounds, all these elements inspire me or remind me of shapes so that in the end I can create harmony, like when I play guitar, my second passion.<\/p>

Music is always present during the creation of my works, and it inspires me from the beginning to the end, like a score with loud movements and quieter ones. And sometimes it completes the painting by opening a door to the fourth dimension.<\/p>

I like to play with varying depth, for example by mixing pigments with oil or beer.<\/p>

Blue tones attract me because they are ubiquitous, essential to life, full of symbolism and of dreamlike qualities.<\/p>

I also appreciate the positive energy found in gold and beaten metal.<\/p>

Through my technique my paintings can return this energy because they express themselves differently from morning to evening, thanks to the light which enlivens them.<\/p>

With this time-consuming process I want to give the viewer keys to open their eyes and pay attention to the world around us. I also include fragments of memory (represented by drops or varying shapes). The more I observe the universe the more I realize that everything is connected.<\/p>

Perhaps these paintings can lead you to share the same questions, or the same answers; perhaps they can help you to escape into your innermost thoughts, giving free rein to your emotion.<\/p>

I hope so.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
