I don't want to think that I am going to believe that I am a hell of a genius, or anything like that.

My life provides me with these images that become expressions of my daily experience.

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.

I never tried to stage, to fabricate an image.

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.

I am metaphysical inasmuch as I am looking for a non-eloquent painting, immobile and of atmosphere, which feeds on static situations.
