Venice in Backlight
A storm is brewing.
Introduction and Experience
Born in Turin, Italy in 1963, his family moved to Cornell, Italy when he was 12. The beautiful scenery that stretches all the way to the Alps here satisfied his imagination in painting. He began painting in 1988 under the individual guidance of the master Marco Lattes.
Skilled at using the cross-section of light to divide the image, deconstructing or overlapping multiple perspectives from different temporal states, showcasing the rhythm and bright contrast of various lights, warm and vibrant, forming a dreamlike sense that is both abstract and realistic, like the ever-flowing seasons. To date, there have been at least 56 exhibitions (uncategorized solo exhibitions), two museum collections, and 30 city hall collections in Italy, and two awards. Since 2015, he has participated in the Taipei New Art Fair for nine consecutive years.
