ARTIST’s STATEMENT (The Artist’s Philosophy)
“My art is a celebration of beauty in the everyday simple things… a celebration in slow-motion of the perfect harmony of the human figure.”
My motivation to create art is not a luxury—it is a necessity for my health. I paint to capture the poetic tension between classical realism and contemporary pop culture. Every brushstroke is a dialogue between the Old Masters who trained me (in spirit) and the modern world we live in today.
Education & Training
My foundation is built on a unique blend of formal architectural training, classical art studies, and self-taught experimentation.
Classical & Figurative Studies – Florence, Italy (Training in Renaissance techniques)
Contemporary & Modern Art Studies (Painting / Sculpture)– Miami, Florida, USA
Advanced Painting & Composition – New York, New York, USA
Academic Background – Architecture, Direction/Production Movies, Marketing (This unique combination gives me a structural understanding of space and a strategic eye for visual impact).
Primary Influence – Largely self-taught, driven by an obsession with the human figure and the works of Leonardo da Vinci, Caravaggio, Dali, and Basquiat.
