FMSA-410

Originally from Italy, I left my homeland for Canada in hopes of furthering my professional aspirations.

Familiar with the cultures of both North America and Europe, my artistic perspective occupies the gap between them. I grew up close to the streets and am intimately familiar with the complex and dark realities of urban living in a multi-racial/ethnic/cultural society. 

Furthermore, I am presently living the “reality” of a New Canadian, experiencing on a daily basis the hope and disappointment shared by people caught between worlds.
