ABOUT

I am an Italian multidisciplinary artist working with comics, illustration, animation and performance. I studied Fine Arts in Milan, then Comics and Illustration in Belgium where I lived for 5 years. From 2009 until 2013 I worked in Collettivo F84, six artists focusing on interactive Public Art projects: www.collettivof84.com

Some of my short comics appeared on VICE US and on international anthologies such as Stripburger, Kutikuti, Vite, B comics. I am the author of three graphic novels: Les errances du Vaurien (Obriart éditions, FR, 2016), P.I.G.S. (VOStripgilde Uitgeverij, BE, 2016) and ColoreInferno (written by Ariel Macchi, Ifix Edizioni, IT, 2018). My last book Gilgamesh came out in 2021, in collaboration with Dennis Marien, Adley, Marie-Brune de Chassey, published by Obriart éditions (FR) and Vite éditions (BE).

In 2016 I funded Fossick Project together with the singer song writer Marta del Grandi, a contemporary shadow theatre live show in which I use the overhead projector to create analog animations: www.fossickproject.com

I currently live and work in Bologna (IT).
