What defines your style?

My fascination started with the tales of my grandfather Nino – a captain of commercial vessels – who travelled the world, returning with souvenirs of new places. My collection is a complex symbiosis in which the handicraft of the modern “bricoleur” meets the soul of the artist.

What are your most commonly used materials?

Gold, precious stones and vintage pieces such as an antique toy soldier, vintage chips from American casinos, vintage mahjong pieces and others.
