Everyone have his own style but for me I can be in artwork with another artist, so we make ideas (or new ideas) same like I do sometimes in my installations.

Art is born with the first day of a baby is born. Art can help build ourselves in good way. Art it’s a must and it’s culture.

Prossime mosse, NY, Londra, Parigi …?

I think Paris and New York will be my next moves.

Che futuro si prevede post covid-19 e post-guerra Ucraina-Russia?

With covid-19 we saw another kind of live and we start focusing more in things that we didn’t see it before, like health, connecting people together, and the communication between world change, and the emotions become less. The war between Ukraine and Russia it’s a small sample of the weak world. I hope its finished soon, because we all loose with wars.
