Where are you from?I was born and raised in a small town by the southernmost part of Italy, where I currently work on my illustrations, in a study that I share with some friends.2. Tell us about your aesthetic.I work mainly using the pencil and various techniques.

What is your favourite medium and why?My favourite tool still remain the simple pen.4. What is your artistic process like?It is very natural. I started with the classical drawing, which is rich of details, studying it at art school. With the use of PC and tablets, I moved more and more on simplification of line and elements, until almost the total synthesis. Something more modern, in shortβ¦5. Who and/or what inspires your work?I'm a maniac for the symmetry and black music. I follow the flow!6. What role does art play in your life? How does it change the way you view the world?Now I do it for work! Initially he filled my days so I walked gratefully away from school duties and responsibilities. I always preferred to stay in a small room, drawing and imagining the world out there, that I seen always differently than normal.
