Only thanks to Pop Art, my painting has become understandable.

I can only speak for myself but for me imagination and invention cannot generate something more important, more beautiful and more terrifying than the common object, amplified by the attention that we give it. An object alone, in front of me who is alone, exactly in front of me just as I would like to have in front of me someone who really interests me, in a good light to better observe it.

I was born knowing that I had to be a painter, because my father, an art historian, always presented painting as the only acceptable thing in life.

Prodigy only feeds on prodigy, fantasy on fantasy.

For many years it was difficult for me to paint because I didn't feel the informal painting that was then tyrannically dominating painters and art collectors.

All I know is that mine was a completely new theory about art, a new approach that made the pictures appear just like life does.

I love America. I lived here too but my links are exclusively Italian.
