Declaration of authenticity by artist on photo

"Essential and refined urban landscapes emerge like precious inlays from extremely bright white backgrounds or from a black and nocturnal pictorial field; they have an ambiguous, unsettling charge and a very concrete expressive force," art critic Barbara Martusciello wrote of the artist's work.

"His panoramic city views are beautiful and silent, inhabited only by themselves; they are not far from the climate of certain film scenarios in which something is expected to happen then the plot is transformed by coloring it in dark or surreal shades or, instead, nothing happens because for once the beauty of the story is in the daily normality of the passing of time, finall, removed from the syncopated rhythm of external reality".

These pictorial subjects have been recognized and appreciated by critics and the public, obtaining important acknowledgments, such as an acquisition made by the Chamber of Deputies in 1996 and by the Agency for the Jubilee in 2011.
