Bio:

Born and raised in Urbino, an art town in mid-northern Italy, I have been exposed to an incredible amount of influential art, mostly from the Renaissance, and I had the chance to experiment with many artistic practices over decades.

After completing my study in drawing animation, I earned a master degree in Game Design from the European Institute of Design in Rome, where I worked in children entertainment for about a decade.

In January 2009 I relocated to Los Angeles, California, where l had many artistic pursuits, being an active member of The Los Angeles Art Association.

In 2019 Maracole Bijoux was born, which has become my main artistic endeavor.

Since 2020 I am teaching workshops at various craft schools in the United States, amongst which Craft in America, in Los Angeles.

On Spring 2023 I started taking part in trade shows, mostly on the East Coast.

Since June 2025 I am selling my work with Artful Home - at the jewelry section, Maracole Bijoux
