ABOUT ME

The journey behind the work

Born in 1997, my fascination with technology and storytelling began at the age of four, sparking a lifelong passion for visual effects and digital artistry.

My journey with technology began at the age of four when I started playing video games and exploring the internet alongside my parents. These early experiences introduced me to the fundamentals of computers and problem-solving.

My curiosity extended to animated films, sparking questions about the techniques behind their creation. I vividly remember watching Brother Bear (Disney) and asking my parents about how such films were made.

By the time I was 10, I had developed an interest in aviation, and my first experiment was attaching a remote-control car engine to a Lego plane in an attempt to make it fly. This taught me the basics of R&D and hands-on building. At 14, I began exploring 3D graphics and created my first projects incorporating special effects. My friends were impressed, and I became the go-to person for tech-related issues.

At 18, I enrolled in Italy's leading 3D graphics school, where I discovered rigging — a specialty that captivated me and drove me to dedicate countless hours to refining my skills. By 21, I had launched my career as a VFX artist in an industry that continuously challenges and inspires me. Looking ahead, my goals are to keep advancing my expertise and establish myself as a recognised artist and speaker, sharing my passion and knowledge with others.
