My daily practice in creating Artjournals & Altered Mag is a fundamental part of my Art reaserch to developing personal languages and style, to be in touch with subconscious in a kind of meditation, in an instinctive artistic and cathartic act and brainstoming with myself
MOLESKINE
This is my first artjournal, made in 2006, my cousin's MOLESKINE she forgot at my house. In 2019, I decided to revisit it and continue crafting new double pages in it. I consider this journal a never ending project, I'll surely continue to add pages to it in the next years
First 16 pages from 2006
ARTJOURNAL No.1
111 double pages of collage, painting, drawing, lettering on RISTOFFA recycled agenda cm14x20 made in 2018
ARTJOURNAL No.2
60 double pages on square agenda cm 14x14 made in 2019 . collage, spray paint, image transfer,painting, printing, visual poetry
ARTJOURNAL No.3
80 double pages on PaperBlanks agenda cm 9x18 . collage, drawing, spray paint, image transfer, painting, printing, visual poetry. made in 2023
Altered Mag No.1 / No.2 / No.3
Altered Mag project started in 2018 (ongoing)
21 double pages for each volume. It's some magazine volumes altered with fleshy pencil, acrylic paint, spray cans, collage. This process on an existing magazine stimulate new possibilities of creation in the alteration of it, leaving just the printed parts of interest resonating with the artist feeling from the original mag, transforming, ones again, the mag in a personal book, reflecting the most profound parts of the artist, like an echo of the subconscious.

The REWORKED ADV serie is an exploration of the possible relationship between advertising and art, taking images from magazines and transform them into something new and unexpected, trying to create a collection that are both visually striking and thought-provoking.
I developed this technique of image transfer during my artistic research while working on a square agenda "artjournal no.2" and I've perfected it over the following years.
REWORKED ADV - Vol.1 / Vol.2 / Vol.3
Advertising images hand-transferred onto Fabriano paper (cm24x33) then reworked with spray cans.
Project Started in November 2019 (ongoing)

Destroy something created years before is often necessary and cathartic.
Removing, etching, scraping is part of the creation of something new and more in resonance with the inside mood in the present moment. The destroying process seems very physical act, but there is a meditative and fearless side, like in every other kind of creation acts.
Ones again we can find an axiom between art and life: destroy what is no more necessary, what is no more rappresentative of ourself to have a lighter and significant life-artistic journey.

FOLDING ART CUBE
Handmade wooden cube that folds and unfolds to reveal different sides collage. You can arrange these mini works of art over and over again to create your own installation on your desk or bookcase. This is the first prototype. I've been working on this idea for a while inspired by a bigger folding cube by Keith Haring that I have in my collection of objects and art books

The constant human and artistic research drove me to search new channels to spread my art and challege myself trascending into the virtual world. It's with this pretext that is born "MOVING SCAN", a series of stopmotion made with animated scanography, experimental technique developed during my creative process; a contemporary and instinctive, dynamic and playful self-portrait which comes to life frame by frame between colorful brushstrokes, newspaper debris and ephemera, torn street posters and the most disparate materials who interact with me in these dreamlike and innovative Art Videos.
