“I'm affectionate to calligraphy since I was a kid.

I see, think and create calligraphy in a simple and organic way. The intense and daily practice and technical control of calligraphy are ruled by my intuition and sensibility. This way gesture is able to translate feelings and give them shape and beauty through calligraphy”.
