For over thirty years, I have painted almost exclusively human faces. I believe the human portrait is the "principal" theme of painting, and I have devoted myself to it with great passion, revisiting the roots of the history of Italian and international painting. I recently abandoned portraiture to explore other subjects, respecting the canons of portrait research I have undertaken in recent years. I began to explore the human figure, almost referencing the work of Francis Bacon. Later, I appreciated the work of Lucien Freud, David Hockney, and now Adrian Ghenie and Peter Doig. My teacher, Aristide Barilli, the son of an early twentieth-century painter from Parma, introduced me to the paintings of his father Latino Barilli and my schoolmate Amedeo Bocchi, whom I still consider two great influences on my work.
I recently began a series of serial works on some iconic faces from today's popular culture. Working on a well-known face allows me to work with greater expressive freedom while maintaining the facial recognition.
