After discovering the intimate pleasure and emotional outlet when
12 years old at school in the Italian speaking part of Switzerland,
in Lugano, Ticino, I choose art to accompany when at UCLA Los
Angeles, California USA with accent on personal creativity that suits
my intuitive alla prima of painting, letting inspiration surge from deep

in me and seizing the spark of emotion at the origin of an artwork.
While living 4 years in Rome, among other places in the world, I self-
studied the Italian Renaissance masters and absorbed their mastery
of colors and composition to transmit meaning to an artwork. In
addition, I also studied Giorgio Vasary’s first methodology of art
studies, a backbone still today in Art schools. These are the poles of
my art, with poetry as weft, since I am also a many prized poet, that
form my expressiveness and version of contemporary art. I make
mine these free quotations: Leonardo da Vinci’s saying: If the soul
does not guide the hand it is not art Soulages: Let the material do
as it pleases … and it will definitely surprise you, I would add Arthur
Miller: The essence, always the essence.
