I started to express myself in public, through painting graffiti, when I was 13 years old. Graffiti was a good alternative at that age and definitely to draw is an essential element to be a creative person.

Nowadays I realized that to paint on the wall, to make drawings bigger than you, definitely stimulates imagination more than drawing on paper. But graffiti is a very cryptic art form: very few people can really read, understand and enjoy a writing on the wall. So, after 7 years of developing my writing on the wall, I focused my attention on the quality of the message: where, how and what could I communicate to all the pedestrians?.

I started to communicate messages through images in an anonymous way on specific site using street-art as a political/social act.

now I am very interested in how to express an idea with different techniques using art as media and street as an exhibition space.
I think that streets are one of the most efficient places where to communicate with people and art is the best media to express thoughts.

today it is fundamental that every work communicates a message:
this is the first condition to arouse the sensations repressed by the present society.

Art (to make art) is an essential element of being a creative person:
a creative person is also happier.
