About the artist
I’m a mural artist born in Ferrara on 1978, where I live and create. I’m also a member of the artistic street art and graffiti collective Vida Krei (VKB). I’m used to (badly) sketch since I was a little child but, after some years of inactivity due to my studies in electronical engineering and to my parallel job as a 3D graphic designer, I decided to (try to) paint more actively in 2008. In 2010 I won the first awards and made first solo shows. I’ve always been used to get bored easily, so I feel the necessity to continue evolving my language and exploring new subjects. I run the risk to not be appreciated but I can’t avoid to renew. So, after I created my alter-ego character “Sfiggy” through which I told stories about myself, I arrived to the new projects which have a wider sensibility and more general topics. I’m naturally curious and always open to confrontation and contamination of cultures and styles and that impacts on both my fine-art works (that I show in the galleries) and murals I paint everywhere in Italy and other countries. I’m today represented by galleries in Italy, USA and Portugal, I participate to Street Art festival and events but I still believe that grabbing my staff and spend a day painting on a wall with my friends is one of the funniest things in the world.
