Murano, red and black glass fish
In the early months of this year, I decided to publicly present some works that I created during 2025. I like to take the time I need to decide that a work is truly finished, even though, when I start, I have fairly precise ideas about what I want to achieve.
ExpoArte in Montichiari, February 20–22, 2026
I already took part in ExpoArte Montichiari last year and particularly appreciated the fact that, thanks to its relatively small size, it allows for genuine dialogue with visitors.

art3f Paris, January 23 to 25, 2026
On Friday, January 23, Art3f Paris, the renowned contemporary art fair, will kick off, and once again I will be present at the Fixtalent Art gallery stand.

I am fully aware of the deep and inseparable link that, for me, unites art making and memory work: my memory, subjective and conscious.
In recent months, however, I have also begun to reflect on another form of memory: an unconscious and cultural memory, which has emerged through stimulating confrontations with critics and artists.

Review of Fix TalentArt
Fix TalentArt is a contemporary art gallery currently operating between Vicenza and Padua. Particularly sensitive to the need to give voice and space to emerging artists, it has been committed in recent years to promoting art exhibitions, cultural events, and much more.
I am pleased to publish the brief but insightful review that it has dedicated to me.
