I am an artist and art director based in Milan, Italy, working at the intersection of cinema, physical space, and procedural systems.

Executed through real-time engines and simulation, my work spans cinematic worldbuilding, site-specific installations, and audiovisual synthesis.

Grounded in a decade of experience across advanced CGI and VFX pipelines, I build systems that bridge technical R&D with cultural and commercial commissions. Operating as an artist, art director, or technical lead, I author environments that have opened the Venice International Film Festival and been exhibited at Ars Electronica, Milan Design Week, and the Fondazione Giorgio Cini, alongside collaborations with studios including Field.io, FutureDeluxe and Universal Everything. 

Parallel to commissioned work, my personal practice investigates analog photography, sound design and abstract computational form. 
I am currently developing a new personal live audiovisual performance.

Available for commissions, art direction, and collaborative inquiries.
