In his studio in Trani, a former industrial warehouse, he realizes works ranging from painting to installation, also favoring the photographic, sculptural and video fields. His latest experiments are the result of a maniacal research aimed at perfection, he stages a hyperrealism that amplifies emotions and reduces the distance between reality and fiction.
