The city of Melbourne is my Muse. Melbourne is also my adoptive city. I came to Australia in 1964 from Chioggia, Venice, Italy. I started my Architectural studies at R.M.I.T. I graduated in Architecture in 1975 and registered as an Architect in 1976.
Melbourne changed a lot since the late seventies. The transformation of the city in the last two decades is beyond what anyone could have ever imagined. I now look at Melbourne from an artist’s perspective: How buildings impact on their immediate surroundings and on the city itself and how the old and the new stand side by side. Do they change the historical character of the street? Does the human get lost in this new environment? Etc, etc.
I think my paintings will speak for themselves and the viewers will see them from their own personal perspectives.
That’s the beauty of Art.
