In 1999 he is selected, previously passing through competition, to attend a three years course called “Arte della Medaglia” sponsored by the State Zecca of Rome. In that same year he is noticed in the illustration competition called “Omaggio a Magnus”.

Since 1998 he exclusively works with Scriba, high crafts made quality products shop in Venice (Concilio Europeo dell’Arte).
Versatile artist in using different painting techniques, he uses coal and wax pencils, mixing with acrylic, tempera and oil colours, though he  prefers a paste of tempera and egg yolk mixture, as old “maestri” suggest.
