What is art for you: a job, a passion, or both?
A game, sometimes risky and difficult, sometimes relaxing and therapeutic.
imagine him with the painter and color palette, the sculptor with a hammer and chisel. Your usual working tools but what are they?
In no particular order: pencils, bleach, brushes, needles, oil paints, poles, tattoo machines, bones, walls, leather, wood, rags, rollers and plates.

Animals, humans, aliens. They are the figures that recur more often in your work. How come, how they become subjects of your creations and what they represent?
I am very curious then devour images every day, nature is a source of constant inspiration, I am interested in the relationship between man and nature. In my work there is this: life, death, passion, fear, suffering and conflict. The usual things, the usual issues that are treated since ancient times. Men are more or less the same. I try to do it with my own style and consequently with my point of view.

Usually a street artist living in the shadows, often known only by aliases and works. In reality every day, everybody wants to appear to have fifteen minutes of fame to emerge and often is only the mediocrity and stupidity. It is paradoxical that the talent should be hidden and the stupid do not?
No, I would say it is very natural. It reminds me a bit 'the behavior of some animals that start feathers and tail or change color to be noticed. So in an age where appearance is everything, this behavior is almost mandatory if you want to emerge.
Some people instead choose other roads, less flashy.

If the writer works in the suburbs, or at least on dilapidated buildings in the ghetto is an artist, an artist who seeks to express, to communicate. If the writer is active in districts well then it becomes a criminal. Do not see anything absurd or rather illogical?
Graffiti is also invasion of public space.

For mayors and is best relegated to phenomena such as graffiti and street art in the suburbs or in very few spaces provided. Everything else is vandalism, but it is a phenomenon difficult to curb, fortunately.

illustration, graphics, and more art in general are very active and prolific areas in Italy, yet struggle to have received the correct value. Why do you think? In this historic moment
Italy does not exist. The only profitable sectors are prostitution and trafficking in cocaine. It is a pity, there are many deserving people.
culture is in fact the last few years, more than ever mistreated, overlooked and even maligned. With the culture you do not eat, this would have us believe our loved ones (not so expensive) rulers. You what would you say?
I will kick myself in the ass.
Have you ever abandoned or decided to leave Italy?
I lived for a short time in Barcelona when I travel and work away from Italy, but I never thought to abandon Italy. For better or for worse is still my home.
You have your work exhibited in both Italy and abroad. What feedback did you get? Satisfying?
I have a relationship somewhat 'schizophrenic with galleries and art world, I have yet to understand a bit' of things.
An Italian artist who esteem the most?
not an artist, but a work: the Pietà by Michelangelo.

A painter chooses his canvas care. But you choose as buildings, walls? More

A work of which you are most proud of?
