I am an illustrator, painter and author who lives and works in Sicily, in Catania, on the sea, at the foot of Etna.

As an author and / or illustrator I have conceived and designed many books for children, publishing with the most important Italian publishing houses. Some of my titles have also been published abroad, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Korea, the USA and China.

The illustrations of my books have been selected for numerous and important group exhibitions and on the occasion of festivals and specialized reviews, around Italy and abroad.

For many years I have been dealing with children’s books also in terms of training teachers and children with courses in image education and book construction.

I especially like to design and illustrate that special type of books that are illustrated books, to develop their cultural, artistic and communicative potential for adults and children.

Although the book remains the privileged container for my images, in recent years I have begun a work of graphic and pictorial research outside the pages, to go beyond the walls, with works on the themes of the sea and botany, exhibited on the occasion of some exhibitions personal.

In my work I am very interested in research through experimentation. I created images and illustrations for videos, objects and fabrics.

Nature reinterpreted, redesigned, interpreted in a selective and poetic synthetic sign is one of the favorite themes in my artistic research.
