📍Italy

I am an Italian artist and tattoo artist, originally from Sant’Angelo dei Lombardi, in the province of Avellino, in the heart of Alta Irpinia. My journey began with drawing, a field in which I achieved international recognition for hyperrealistic portraiture, developing a strong sensitivity toward the study of gaze and expression. Over time, I transferred this research onto skin, building a personal language that moves between realism and painterly gesture. My work develops along two main directions: on one hand, the study of eyes and gaze; on the other, botanical compositions and painterly marks, which I use to create movement, balance, and identity.

My artistic research is based on the balance between technical precision and expressive freedom. Starting from hyperrealistic portraiture, I have evolved my style toward a more contemporary vision, where realism alternates with freer and more instinctive elements. When working with figurative subjects, I focus primarily on the eyes and gaze, considering them the most intense point of human expression. In other projects, I allow space for botanical compositions and brushstrokes, used as narrative and dynamic elements. This dual approach allows me to maintain a strong stylistic identity while varying subjects, creating tattoos that are always coherent yet never repetitive. Each piece is born from dialogue with the individual and is reinterpreted through my artistic language, with the aim of creating unique, non-replicable works.
