After many solo and group exhibitions in public and private areas, in 2006 he had an important show in Rome, at India Theatre, where six big works on canvas hemmed in monumental wood boards and some works on paper were displayed.

In 2005 he settled down in London, where he was invited to the "BP Portrait Award 2006", National Portrait Gallery, London.

With Filippo Sciascia he is now at the Indonesian National Gallery, Jakarta. This show - "KOI and TRINACRIA" - opens a new phase of his artistic career, where his art meets the South-eastern Asian culture and iconography.

He lives and works between Italy and London.
