I studied classical painting and drawing in Florence and graduated from the Angel Academy of Art. I then studied portrait painting for 3 months at the Charles Cecil Studios post-graduation.

We were rigorously trained in Anatomy, Composition, Art History, Chemistry of Paints, Painting and Drawing from the live figure, Business of Art, and may others. It was a very similar setup to the 19th century French ateliers. Since then i have taught at the reputable Academy of Fine Art in Germany,

I have taught a great many more students from all over the world, through short- and long-term workshops as well as private lessons I have interacted with students of different ages, cultures, different levels of experience, and different needs.
I have also had 3 solo shows since I graduated in 2021
