In the 1980s he moved to Venezuela where he received recognition for engraving and sculpture. In these years he dedicated himself to his sculptural characters, using various materials assembled with terracotta parts. In the same period he devoted himself to documentary photography.
He returned to Italy in 1985 and began the fusion of small bronzes with the insertion of precious materials. He also made jewellery with these materials, using archetypal and symbolic forms.
From 1998 to 2001 he moved back to Caracas creating terracotta and cement sculptures which he exhibited at the El Bosque gallery. On his return, he exhibited a new cycle of sculptures called \u201cPresenza del tempo\u201d (Presence of time) at\u00a0 <\/span>Galleria Immaginaria in Florence. He again took up his interest in photography and in the cycle \u201cScatole di Poesia Visiva\u201d ( Boxes of Visual Poetry), \u201cScarpe Celestiali\u201d (Heavenly Shoes) and\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cInterni\u201d (Interiors)\u00a0 <\/span>objects and environments are transformed into a dreamlike, surreal and metaphysical vision.
His latest creations are\u00a0 <\/span>Idols, large polychromatic wood sculptures\u00a0 <\/span>presented together with his photographic works at Galleria Immaginaria in Florence.
His works are found in public and private collections.<\/p>\nworks<\/h3>\n
