KINETIC OP ART

My youth was filled with colors, turpentine, brushes, and rich visual experiences. I come from a family of artists… Art is for me as natural as a second skin. Anything I see, read or touch, like movies, art exhibitions, newspapers, magazines, internet – while walking in the street or even when I am cooking for a crowd – are the beginnings for visual ideas. My main tool for catching these ideas is a pocket notebook I always carry with me.
I don’t make my art with a computer, software or any other material, I make it first with ideas. What interests me is the final impact. So, I don’t care about the media as such, being a cross-disciplinary artist, I am skilled in any art medium or in any old or current graphic editor.

All my work is based on the same essential principle: awaken curiosity

Widely considered as a leading authority on visual perception, I specialize in optic and visual kinetic art. I create compelling illustrations and visual content in any format for publishers, editors, curators, agencies and art print manufacturers. I also own the largest database of original optical illusions with various effects related to all aspects of vision.
