The "Street" series is a project that was born in 2017.
The artist explains:
My first steps in the art world were in street art, which I abandoned for a few years when I arrived in Milan. During that period, I explored techniques that helped me find a new personal artistic path and I moved away from the portrait genre. In the "Street" project I want to give shape to recognizable graphics. The forms I create are not born by chance, but are the union of structures that communicate a single, strong and indestructible body. This is idea is realized on all kinds of surfaces from “classic" walls to canvas. The inspiration for the project comes from my travels during which I like to observe how art is interpreted in various cultures. I use that to recreate my own personal interpretation. In my artistic research color plays a central role as a tool to transmit energy to those who observe my works.
