My research was born from the observation of the wonderful shapes that occur in nature. A research not only for the forms but also for the materials that I use on my sculptures. I love to create objects that doesn't exist but that are full of life and force. A force that takes place from twisting and sharp prickles: they are need for protection, never for attack. Sure my past of biology student and my love for photography (that I still practice, especially in far and forgotten lands like Madagascar, Ethiopia,Sri Lanka and so on) has an influence on the final results of my works. I like to use procedural materials like rust and mould, opposite to the glass and shining, reflecting, polished materials that I use mixing together. A very strong balance takes place with this dualism. I often definite my works "digital alien sculptures" because they were born from an organic concept but not terrestrial (or better not from mother nature that we see with ordinarily eyes). Technically my works are rendering, that is a computer simulation of optical physics of the objects and the environments that I create.
