Moreover, he worked for Ernst Knam and Patron Tequila and he’s already been published on the national press like ‘’’SECOLO XIX’’, ‘’LA STAMPA’’, and ‘’GRAZIA’’. Every single work reflects the artist’s point of view of the artistic world that he approaches with different techniques such as oil and acrylics colours, enamelling and crayons. Viewers sight is captured by his bright colours and ‘’every day’’ images joined by different generations, that he also defines with the term ‘’New Pop’’.
