Sicilian artist, born in Palermo in 1977, Professor of Sculpture and Foundry at the Academy of Fine Arts in Palermo. He lives between Palermo, Cordoba, his poetics are configured as a continuous aesthetic and linguistic research through direct contact with nature and its territory which becomes for the artist a place of the soul.
