ave a laugh, not crying.
Biography: I've approached the drawing in tender age. Since the 1° year of the primary school, my exercise has been assiduous, thanks
to a nice way of mine to avoid the boring dictation, whom all pupils are subject, asking to my teacher, Sister Silvia (the only teacher of my life whom have preferred me to the others), to give me a pencil and a sheet
to draw, as I was "annoyed" to write. The rest is history. After the secondary school I have landed at the classic studies, then at the Faculty of Geology and finally at the Certificate of Drawing and
Technique of Cartooning at the Roman School of Cartooning.
My style has been always humoristic and grotesque and follows the Masters as Jacovitti, Bonvi & Magnus, Schulz & Cegar, incomparable and inimitable
in their genre.
I also appreciate obviously the great Authors of the past, preferring the classic Michelangelo, Raffaello, Leonardo & Giotto, the illusionist Arcimboldo & the Caravaggio, but also the more
actual Salvador Dalì, Magritte & Botero and the illustrators Rockwell, Winslow Homer, Carl Larsson & the Brothers Hildebrandt and, last but not least, the ingenius Escher.
Bye and thanks.
