In 1977, while both disco music and punk ruled the world, I started my own life’s journey during a typical italian hot summer. Since childhood I spent much more time on paper than playing soccer as most of other italian kids did; this could be weird in some ways (for any italian signor Rossi), but who cares? Creating images just fascinated me.

On 12 I saw for the first time some paintings on a wall of my city: I got in touch with Graffiti Writing, one of the most important things I’ve dealt with in my whole life. Being a writer has become massively for about ten years -and more- my way. It’s been the reason to spend hours and hours sketching and many cold nights outside on a mission.

2001: time to push things forward.
I felt myself limited about letters and spraycans and I decided to put my whole attention to characters, evolving that figures I often painted next to my pieces.

I began a research about lines, shapes and solid aspects of the colours, using human bodies as main subject. Lines of the human body become idealized, renewed and unreal; strokes become bones of the figure, while paint’s matter turns into flesh.

I love to put my works on useless and broken items, to give to these decayed supports a new dimension and a new dignity. Plus, the painting gets stronger by the eroded support.

Fate a modo.
Ciao.
