Intro Bio Interview
Picasso once said, “you don’t make art, you find it.” Where do you find your art?
I find it mostly in life events, those really drove most of my artistic projects as in the beginning of the process is something more spiritual than technical. Once I start creating, I find it in how I feel when finding a particular idea or composition, when I realize that what I’m doing is working. When I see my imagination translating into a drawing.
From an idea to its materialization: How do you approach your work?
I start by selecting the right music as a first thing. Once a good atmosphere is surrounding me I start sketching the idea on paper, then I create the scene in 3D, playing with textures and lighting.
What is your favorite book?
I don’t have a favorite one, but I’ve found very funny “Supplemento al dizionario Italiano” by Bruno Munari.
Which artist would you like to have coffee with and what would you discuss?
Achille Castiglioni, I would love to discuss design processes and more in general about life.
How did you get into art?
I started by studying Art at Giulio Romano Art School first, then I got a more technical approach by studying architecture at Politecnico di Milano. From there I started working as an intern in some architecture studios in my city, then I decided to go freelance and to deeper into 3D art. Having lots of my grandpa’s artwork around the house also helped!
Who are the people in your surroundings that influence you?
My best friends and my family.
Imagine you have a time machine. Where would you go?
I would love to go in so many ages, but one that always fascinated me is London in the mid 19th century.
Other than art, what are you most passionate about?
Skateboarding, music and food.
What are you working on right now?
I’m working on a client project.
