Art always had an important place in my life and I keep pursuing it as a passionate interest next to my work as art director. Over the years I developed a personal sense of aesthetics, which dips its roots into the concept of travel and finds expression through the decontextualization of unique objects randomly found on the road.

My research led to a series of pieces called Decostruzioni in wich words leave their original purpose and meaning behind in order to become pure shapes. The surface of road signs and warning plates is cut into small pieces and re-assembled into abstract artworks. My practice can be broken down into 3 main phases: objet trouvé > de-construction > assemblage, in which the “iconoclastic act” and the “street art” draw energy from each other: the result is a new interpretation of the ancient Japanese technique of kintsugi.

Another part of my practice looks at the topic of time-man-material. This photographic research takes shape in a series called Contexture in which the effect of time on human artefacts allows details of degradation to gain aesthetic value. The decontextualization of a detail takes its texture to a different dimension, which investigates the origins of abstract inspiration in art.
