Born in Italy, I have been involved in the arts all my life. Moved to the United States in 1952, taught for many years at the San Diego Community Colleges with credentials for all the arts and crafts. Simultaneously I worked on commissions.

Twelve years ago I was introduced to the computer, and as soon as I discovered the potential of the digital tool, I decided that I would not like to try and make a digital oil painting, a watercolor or even a wood cut. Nothing could substitute for the beauty of the real thing!

I started investigating the possibility of taking advantage of what the programs written by special programmers could give me. And starting from a gradient, a photograph, a doodle or even sometimes a fractal, and transforming them with the use of filters, I develop, most of the times, abstract compositions.

I like abstractions and non objective works. The reason is that I like the viewer to look at my work and feel, through his eyes, what a piece of music would make him feel by listening to it, through his ears. Too often, people looking at a painting get side tracked and miss the real message.

I enjoy work. I think it is the greatest blessing we humans have been given. I try to make every minute count. I think it is a shame that we have to sleep so many hours and wish we had the possibility of canning the time so many people waste and use it for ourselves!
