Contemporary painter, born in Bari, southern Italy on 22 October 1983. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome.
His work predominantly consists of religious subjects and portraiture. The religious subjects are richly illustrated, and the compositions have a broody boldness made by the exaggerated contrasts of light and dark.
There is apparently some controversy that surrounds one of his pieces, The Martyrdom of St. Simon of Trento, which isn’t included here. I’d seen an image of the painting before I knew of the criticisms, and I didn’t care for it anyway.
