I am an Art Director and Artist practicing in Montreal, Canada. I graduated from the School of Graphic Design and Advertising in Munich, Germany in 1999 having specialized in Communications Design. After graduating I spent the first years working in Germany both as an employee for print and web agencies and as a freelancer. I am particularly interested in book design, typography, corporate branding and webdesign: more on the design section.
In 2005, I completed a Bachelor in Fine Arts, with a specialization in painting from the Italian Academy of Fine Arts of Carrara, Italy. During these studies I also attended classes at Concordia University's (Montreal, Canada) photography and design department as well as at the University of Fine Arts in Lisbon, Portugal. I have been working within the illustration, photography and video mediums since: more on the art section.
Besides emphasizing on aesthetics, my intent in my artwork is to directly document, analyze and question individuals' life styles and tendencies in society. Often, projects are multidisciplinary and combine various mediums such as design and photography. I am particularly interested in cooperating with other researchers in the arts and sciences.
Grants have allowed me to stay for study and work over long-term periods in Recife, Brazil, and Lisbon, Portugal, where I learned new languages and about other cultures and lifestyles.
