I was born in Senigallia in 1972 and I live and work here in my home town.  I completed my secondary studies at l’Istituto Statale d’Arte “Adolfo Apolloni” in Fano majoring in Decorazione Pittorica and Studio di Progettazione, with a detailed focus on wall-decorating for both shop and home interiors.  I first achieved my diploma of “Maestro d’Arte” and then received my “Maturità d’Arte Applicata” in 1992.  Despite not pursuing tertiary studies, I have always nurtured my interest in art, experimenting and personalizing my largely graphic and graffitist techniques.

I love to depict cityscapes and fantastical warped neighborhoods, with distorted perspective.  Eyes and faces often meld together to create surreal images.  I am able to express my introspective observations of the world only through my art.

There are two concepts I bare in mind when facing a new project: Disegni Studiati and Disegni Casuali.  In the first case the skeleton of the picture forms from my thoughts, and from a study of what I want to represent.  From that first picture I then pull out another following the lines to build the work.  So a roof of a house ties to the wall of another which in turn becomes a face that interlocks with the picture and goes back to being a house or a tree or an eye until the whole sheet is filled and finished.

In the second case everything changes.  I don’t begin with a fixed idea.  I work randomly, sketching with my pencil all over the page, in a haphazard way, without stopping or thinking.  Once I’ve formed the skeleton I intervene in the individual spaces by coloring them, inserting images and erasing parts that I find to be superfluous.  The color does the rest and I obtain a result that I like.

During my works, a figure emerged that I would go on to call Gibas (see “Momento d’Ira”).  Gibas is no more than a stylized human form that I then decided to include in other works.  He can take on different shapes and colors which I repeat infinitely.  I meld the shapes together, move them in a spiraling manner; in other words I manipulate them as I wish.  I decided on this name because it’s a nickname that was given to me … Gibas is me.
