Location: Italy
Welcome to my world of colours and emotions! I am a landscape and abstract painter, and I invite you to explore my art that reflects the beauty of nature and the depth of human feelings.
I was born in Bedford, UK to Italian parents, and am now an ex-pat living and painting in Italy.
I showed a strong talent for pensil drawing and for colour at a very young age.
I frequented the Barnfield College of Arts & Technology taking a four-year course in fashion design and clothing technology, finalyear's debut at the London College of Art. I then worked several years in London fashion houses Inega Jeans and Rapture Jeans. I also worked in the costume department during the making of the films Barry Lynden and Revolution.
I have always dedicated my spare time to drawing and painting and in 1992 won a runner up prize in an international exhibition, that offered me personal hanging space for one year at Soho gallery in New York.
I am now drawing and painting full-time and enjoy painting with various mediums and subjects and in varying styles.
This past year I have enjoyed doing some plein air painting of landscapes and Seascapes, and I am also really enjoying making abstracts of various types, I love the many forms of abstract expression, the fluid art of Dutch pouring, and the Geodes

His hair, slightly tousled, falls charmingly across his forehead, framing his face and drawing attention to his eyes, which are the focal point of the sketch. They are deep-set and expressive, their gaze distant yet profound, as though he’s peering into the corridors of his own mind. The artist employs shading to emphasize the subtle nuances around his eyes, hinting at unspoken thoughts and reflections.
The brows are slightly furrowed, conveying a mixture of concentration and introspection. The sketch captures the play of light and shadow on his features, accentuating the intensity of his expression. His lips, slightly pursed, suggest that he’s on the verge of a revelation or deep in a personal dilemma.
The background is kept minimalistic to ensure that the focus remains on his face. Soft, wispy lines create a sense of atmosphere, evoking a feeling of solitude, as if he’s in a moment of stillness amidst the chaos of the world. The overall effect of the portrait is one of striking intensity, combining beauty with a profound depth of thought, inviting the viewer to ponder what occupies this handsome man's mind.
In this gouache painting, a lone figure stands in the foreground, silhouetted against the vibrant, kaleidoscopic skyline of an unknown city. The figure, rendered in deep shadows, conveys a sense of solitude and introspection, as if lost in thought amidst the bustling urban landscape.

The sky, a wash of swirling colors, mirrors the figure's emotional state, capturing a moment of quiet amidst the vibrant life of an untamed metropolis.
The painting captures an afternoon scene where two men, casually dressed, stand on a street corner, deep in conversation.
One leans slightly forward while the other listens intently, a warm smile on his face.
