Degree in Scenic Design at the Fine Art Academy in Torino – Italy.
Many experiences between art and design follow after graduation until 2006, when he started painting full time. In 2009 his first solo exhibition in Turin.
He taps into nature for his inspiration, fascinated by colours, shape and patterns: a way to capture uniqueness. The artistic work is centred in various series which space from a realistic paint to one more extemporaneous which leaves space to experimentation.
In his latest series, named ‘Narciso’, the orchids are still the subject of the paintings but here the artist adds a new element: the reflection on water, which gives the paintings an intriguing wefts that may fow into abstracton.
Enzo took part in many international shows; as a member of the Society of Botanical Artists Enzo takes part in any annual exhibitions of the Society in London. At last year exhibition he was awarded the Great Art Award. His artworks are in private colletion in Italy and in the UK.
