Statement
"His art has a double value: pictorial-aesthetic and psycho-pedagogical. Through clear and ethereal signs, plastic and static, ascending and transcendent, he realizes, in a world of solid chromatic evanescence, the dichotomy of being author and co-author of his works. Avoiding archaic representation, reality itself leads him to refine his inwardness making his creative act the best of all possible worlds. He caresses with a glance, elaborates with the mind, fed by erudite readings, he gives the soul his evocative message: art is for everyone and goes beyond the frontiers of formal stereotypes of every existential barrier to rise to a mystical and absolute dimension, as if to imitate the reality objectively observed/studied." (Ivana Ferraro)
