He has always been influenced by the classical-scientific arts, from the neo-impressionism of Seurat to the optical art of Vasarely. During his artistic career he painted for many festivals such as Resistenza Street Art Gallery, Vedo a Colori, Manufactory, Blue Flow, In wall we trust and, in 2015, created TEXTURA in Fest, the first street art festival in his hometown.

Since 2018 he has been present in the Chinese art market and is represented by Jardin Orange and NoName Studio after some artistic residency in Shenzhen and Shanghai.

He has exhibited at art fairs in Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Genoa, Parma, and in galleries of Xi'An, Zhuhai, Paris, Rome.

Some of his works on canvas are in the permanent collections of the HQB Museum in Shenzhen and Banca D'Italia.
