The study of art collections has always been a source of resources and ideas for the creation of my artworks. Thus, the long stays in the Louvre (2000), in the Alte and Neue Pinakotek (2004), the Ufizzi Gallery (2005), as well as the Archaeological Museum of Florence (2005) and the Museum of Naples (2007), have left, in addition to a large number of studies of classical artworks, an intimate and personal bond with them.
