“A world without problems is an illusion, so is a world without solutions.”
Writing is a powerful form of communication. As an author, I express and share ideas, emotions, experiences, and questions about existence through entertaining and creative fiction and non-fiction books.
I also collaborate with publishers, literary agents, and editors to create top-notch educational and entertaining books. My areas of expertise include visual art, creativity, optical illusions, cognitive sciences, perception, mental biases, recreational mathematics, brain training, problem-solving, and self-enhancement.
My books are designed for readers of all ages, offering a captivating and enjoyable experience. Whether they want to marvel at the world, spark their creativity, or just kick back with a good read, my books have it covered. With a focus on engaging storytelling and a commitment to high quality, my titles make a great addition to any publisher’s catalog.
Being a visual artist, I often design and create the illustrations for my books. I work in English, French, and Italian. To get a better idea of my books, feel free to take a look at my bibliography. I'm currently working on an interactive book project that uses Kinegrams, which are static images that magically come to life and move when the reader overlays them with a special film.
Since 2002, I've written over 50 books commissioned and published by international publishing companies. My work has been highlighted in major scientific magazines and newspapers, including Mind, Scientific American, National Geographic Kids, New Scientist, and many others.
In 2018, I was honored with the prestigious Royal Society's Young People's Book Prize.
I write non-fiction books on commission for international publishers and articles for educational or scientific magazines. My fields of expertise are: art, art education, creativity, vision, cognitive sciences, recreational mathematics.
I create captivating contemporary and optical art that intrigues and inspires. My work is collected by private individuals and organizations worldwide. As a recognized authority on visual perception, I specialize in optical and kinetic art. Several of my paintings have been featured in murals and large-format graphics.
I design objects that produce surprise and joy, when their true nature is revealed. Many of my creations explore the intersection of art, science, and play. I create and develop games and activity boxes with esthetic qualities, that are also fun and challenging.
I offer licensing for my optical art and photography for both commercial and editorial use. I own the largest database of unique surreal photos, optical illusions and visual effects. My work is used by major publishers, advertising agencies, interior and fashion designers, as well as various service and manufacturing companies.
