Born in Melzo (MI) in 1953. Self-taught, he began painting in 1975. In 1979, he left his job to dedicate himself exclusively to painting. In 1980, along with two painter friends, Giorgio Rovelli and Pierre Poggi, he opened a studio for engraving and artistic intaglio printing in his hometown. This activity was pursued intermittently, collaborating with Rovelli’s print shop in Corneliano Bertario, a small village on the Adda River in the province of Milan, where he lived and worked for over fifteen years in close contact with a group of other painters.
Over the years, he has held solo and group exhibitions and has also conducted courses on “color” at private schools and cultural centers in Milan and its province.
After starting with figurative and naturalistic art, focusing more on details of the Lombard landscape, translated into a very material-based painting style with references to both post-impressionism and a certain informal Italian style, he ultimately shifted to abstract language. From 1986 to 1989, his work took on symbolic values, translated into increasingly rarefied materials.
From 1990 to today, the final results are achieved through increasingly simple and clear paintings, made of flat layers with vibrant colors forming equally simple and contrasting compositions, far from real content, predominantly decorative.
What has never changed is his initial approach to work; no idea or project beforehand, but rather the attempt to achieve extreme creative freedom, where chance plays an important role, and the attitude remains that of witnessing a new event as the first spectator. From the initial chaos to the formation of a new, more or less complete composition, in a precarious balance between harmony and disharmony, sometimes in a state of perpetual tension.

Since 2004, he has lived and worked in Montodine (CR).
