about
Who?
Notice the right moment, light, story, image, feeling and hold onto it, take it with you, keep it forever, share it with the rest of the world, open up their eyes, make them wonder, make them pause – even if it’s only for one minute
As a visual artist I have many fascinations, interests and motivations. I use various media; photography, video, drawings. I see the world around me in a countless amount of details, lots of very interesting details and I try to show people the other, beautiful side of this world, the things that are overlooked, forgotten; the stories in everything around us, all from my point of view and perspective.
As a photographer I strive for technical perfection too, to make the best possible image.
I was born in Genova, Italy in 1980. I live and work in Deventer, the Netherlands.
I studied at the AKI, fine arts academy, Enschede (Nl) from 2002-2006 and graduated at the media art department in 2006.
From 2006-2007 I studied to become an arts teacher at Artez, Arnhem (Nl).
