While we are continually happy to discover good artists who
are practicing their craft in and around Boston, we often bemoan
the departure of talented artists to the larger art metropolises – New York,
L.A., etc. So, it gives us a particular thrill when we meet an
early-career artist with serious “chops” who has decided to settle down and
make a go of it here. Prior to pursuing graduate studies in fine arts in Boston,
this Italian artist was a working architect in his home country. Here to pursue
his passion for drawing and painting, his palette has exploded in just the few
years that he has dedicated himself to the craft. His style and technique has
evolved tremendously during that time. We think that he will be someone to
watch carefully in the next few years.
