I was born in Catania, in the south of Italy and since then I have dedicated my life to Art.
I took an A Level Diploma in Art and Design and then I completed my studies at the Academy of Fine Art with a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine art with a thesis on Japanese art, one copy of that is saved in the Library of the Japanese Institute in Rome.
I started to participate to art-exhibitions while I was still at University and I worked, for a while, in graphic studios. I used to write critics for an exhibition in a Museum in Sicily and articles for a Sicilian Cultural magazine. I also published some artworks in a book and then I continued to travel to find inspiration and improve my skills. First of all in Malta where I studied English and in Germany where I realized a personal exhibition. Then I came back in Italy and I started my career as a teacher working in various cities.
In 2002 I took a Master in Painting Restoration and in 2003 I decided to come back in Sicily where I taught history of art in a college and I participated to an International Art-exhibition for young artists in Rome. The same year I decides to move to London where I still live and found the opportunity to use my art skills teaching, continuing to study, doing research, participating to art-exhibitions and helping disabled people with art.
In 2006 I took a post-graduate Certificate in Korean and Japanese art and in 2009 I have completed a MA by project at London Metropolitan University.
I had solo and group exhibitions in England, one in Rome and next year I will be in Germany and maybe in Canada for a new show. I have also joined an art project in the USA with the creation of an artwork with recycled materials. my artwork have been published on local magazines and on the “British origami society” magazine.
I am actually working as a workshop leader and tutor in adult colleges and I am a visiting lecturer at London University of the arts.
