The Italian sculptor is known for his exploration of the relationship between matter, form, and space. A graduate and professor at the Accademia Albertina in Turin, he creates monumental works in metal and bronze, exhibited in public and private spaces in Italy and abroad. His sculptures combine monumentality and lightness, developing a vision of sculpture as “spatial design.”
