Di origine italo-francese nasce intorno agli anni sessanta e vive attualmente
tra la costa del sud della Francia e la costa tirrenica della Toscana.
Fin da bambino oltre a frequentare il mare adorava l’arte circensa, dipingeva i volti dei clown e si cimentava in qualche esercizio acrobatico. Poi da grande si trasferisce per un periodo a Parigi dove studia arte e teatro, compie studi umanistici e si cimenta con il dadaismo arredando la sua casa di campagna come un’opera d’arte. S’interessa di cinema, letteratura, arte e teatro.
Lavora con i Fratelli Taviani, con Francesco Rosi, Tognazzi, Ornella Muti e Carole Bouquet, con Silvano Bussotti, rappresenta la Gioconda di Ponchielli al Teatro Comunale di Firenze, Molière e Goldoni e per finire I Cenci di Artaud.
Influenzato dal cinema e dal teatro comincia a lavorare i manifesti e le locandine degli spettacoli prima con gli strappi e il colore poi con i collage e carta di giornale.
Attualmente sta preparando un grande ciclo di collage con la prosa dei poeti francesi del seicento.

great poster artists like Raymond Hains, Villeglé,
Dufrêne, Arman and began in Italy to admire the works
of Mimmo Rotella and in France to work on cinema and
theatre posters and fashion magazines adding oriental
prints, fabrics and pieces of raw hemp immersed in
