After this experience, in 2011 he became interested in graphic design, joining

several contests, and then in graphic art.
In 2012 he has set the first solo exhibition and has joined collective exhibitions.
His work, created through vector graphics programs, are defined by unlimited
reproducibility in different formats on different media: this feature, although
inevitably leading to the "loss of aura", is acknowledged as an opportunity in
the creative process.
His style - which can be summarized as "minimal" and "pop surrealist" features a simple stroke, sometimes even naive, and assorted colors, ranging
from pastel to saturated nuances, remaining anyway within a personal palette.
His subjects - mostly common objects, animals and female figures - derive from
the-pop imaginary but are misunderstood and transfigured, bringing to new and
unexpected meanings.
His main graphic inspirations trough this creative process were Camilla d'Errico,
Takashi Murakami, Melissa Haslam and Audrey Kawasaki.
The reproductions of the works are available in various formats at
