My Journey as an Artist

My journey as an artist began to blossom in my homeland of Sardinia, Italy.
Although I initially studied accountancy, I ultimately decided to follow my true passion—painting—with the loving encouragement of my family.

My artwork evolved from small-scale projects into larger pieces, including wall murals and frescos for private homes and restaurants throughout Sardinia.

In 2005, I transitioned into set design, producing an array of large-scale wall designs and murals for high-end Ethen Viaggi hotels and resorts in Sharm El-Sheikh (Egypt), as well as in Tunisia, Greece, Zanzibar, and across Italy.

In 2006, I made the bold decision to move to London to develop my craft further and expand my artistic reach—an important step made possible thanks to the support of Roberta and Andy.

One of my most notable commercial collaborations has been with Starbucks, where I assisted the talented @paulsweeney in producing large-scale wall murals for over 250 stores across the UK, as well as internationally in France, Switzerland, and Austria.

In addition to international projects, I’ve embraced several community-based residential commissions in recent years, aimed at uplifting local neighbourhoods and encouraging a spirit of unity and togetherness.

I’ve also had the opportunity to collaborate with many incredible artists.
Thanks to @nellieshepperdx, I had the pleasure of working on The Blue Peter TV show and creating bespoke children’s party decorations in both the UK and the Côte d’Azur. I’ve also been privileged to work for renowned figures such as Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and J.K. Rowling.

Special thanks to @richard_bagguley  and @peterocconnor for the unforgettable three-month project in Turkey, where I contributed gold leaf decorations to an extraordinary billionaire’s mansion.

Thanks to @dodeco  and @alessandrolioviero, I’ve continued to expand my horizons and explore exciting large-scale collaborations.

I’m deeply grateful to everyone who has played a part in my journey—those who believed in me from the start, and those who continue to support me to this day: @radhika_ganapathi_ulluru, @kateryna_vilkul, @everythingisartltd— and, of course, my mum, dad, and Ced.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
