After unfinished studies in biology and further studies in the arts, he enrolled at the Scuola del Nudi in Catania and in 1980 began his painting activity, starting simultaneously from the Magrittean example and subsequently from De Chirico, where it was possible to resolve two apparently contradictory layers—the dream and the objective reality—into a kind of absolute reality. At the core of his research lies a strong drive aimed at solving the great dilemmas of existence and the relationship between self and world, trying to interpret “thought”—sometimes turning points—-an work by the artist Giovanni Greco, ineffable as a means to cast in a new light the fundamental problems our mind ceaselessly seeks to solve, staging visual and soul coercions; further on, he is drawn to metaphysical painting and mainly to the works of G. De Chirico, not so much for stylistic choices but for the substantive interest expressed in a solid compositional frame; objects, figures, and even space become powerful masses given by dark, velvety chromatic volumes in a context where time seems arrested and the subjects are suspended between metaphysical influence and neoclassical echoes drawn from past works shaken by time, in an unknown world. It is the world of the “éndonèxò,” a term coined by the artist – (éndon-éxò) – where the gaze is clearly directed toward itself and into things but at the same time conveys his desire to make his painting feel closer to the observer’s lived experience, tracing upward from the depths of the soul and gradually replacing, with new dark forces, the clear and simple spaces of reason.
