I trained at Rome's Academy of Fine Arts with a background in commercial art. My work reflects a journey that started in Rome, and is now evolving in London. A mix of influences, my perspective is shaped by global mainstream culture rather than being tied to any one place. My work leans into the relatable and the celebrated, creating an iconography of the popular and the accessible. It embraces the superficial, using it to tell stories that connect.
