MORE THAN ART
I was born in Lugano in 1987 and since an early age I‘ve been fascinating of storytelling and drawing. Over time, I developed, in parallel to my passion for comics, a strong taste for contemporary design. Influenced by illustration, comics and caricature on modern and contemporary art, I work on an artistic development that tries to marry two forms of expression often considered antagonists. Willing to question the swiss identity and to testify myself and the world around me, my projects are often affected by the urban territory and its changes.
