From my studio in Italy to private collections and professional spaces abroad, each painting begins a new journey when it leaves the studio.

When a painting leaves my studio, its journey does not end. In many ways, it is only beginning.

Over the years, my original artworks have found their way into private collections and professional spaces in Italy, the United Kingdom, the United States, Türkiye and Canada.

Each destination represents a different story, but together they reflect the international journey of my work and the ideas at the heart of my artistic practice: the dialogue between classical art, mythology, architecture, sport, memory and identity.

From Italy to the world

I am based in Trissino, Vicenza, Italy, where my work continues to develop from the intersection of my background as an architect, my experience in fashion and my lifelong connection with sport. Discover more about my background and artistic practice.

My paintings are now part of private collections in several Italian locations, as well as in London, Istanbul, Chicago, Washington, D.C., New Hope, Pennsylvania, and Edmonton, Canada.

The map on my About page offers a visual glimpse into some of these journeys.

London: a special chapter

One of the most meaningful chapters in this journey began with MUZÉO, the Paris-based art consultancy, and its project for the London offices of Paul, Weiss.

Seven of my original paintings are now located at the Paul, Weiss London office:

• Apollo Playing Tennis
• Muse with Hat
• Gondolas
• Flying Over the Colosseum, Rome
• Zeus with a Racket
• Athena with a Tennis Ball
• The Weight of Expectations II

The first four works were acquired by MUZÉO in 2025, beginning a collaboration that later grew with three additional paintings in 2026.

The works bring together different aspects of my practice: classical figures reinterpreted through contemporary sport, architectural imagery and reflections on performance and identity.

I recently had the opportunity to add another London destination to this journey, with Apollo Playing Tennis II entering a private collection in the United Kingdom.

This connection with London is particularly meaningful to me because the works are not simply displayed as individual paintings: they become part of environments where people meet, work and exchange ideas.

You can read the story of the first MUZÉO project in my earlier article, A New Chapter: My Paintings Now in the Offices of Paul, Weiss, London.

Istanbul: mythology travelling further

My connection with international collectors also extends beyond Europe.

Zeus and Hera is now part of a private collection in Istanbul, Türkiye.

The painting belongs to my “We ART the Champions” series, in which I reinterpret the enduring beauty of classical sculpture through textured stucco and contemporary references.

The myth of Zeus and Hera offered me an opportunity to explore the relationship between strength and devotion, power and grace, bringing an ancient story into a contemporary visual language.

The United States: from Chicago to Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C.

My paintings have also found homes in several parts of the United States.

The Weight of Expectations is now part of a private collection in Chicago, Illinois.

The painting explores the psychological pressure surrounding athletic achievement. A basketball becomes a metaphor for the expectations placed upon an athlete, transforming the pursuit of success into something both powerful and oppressive.

In Washington, D.C., Thoughts of a Football Player is part of another private collection.

The work combines references to classical sculpture with the inner world of an athlete, exploring the thoughts, aspirations and passions that exist beyond sporting performance.

Another work has travelled to New Hope, Pennsylvania, where The Leopard is now part of a private collection. It portrays a champion at rest. In this body of work, skates are transformed into dream-like elements immersed in landscapes populated by nature and oneiric symbols.

The skates seem to come alive again, expressing a primordial force comparable to that of the animals with which they coexist. The works reflect my love for skating while also exploring the importance of the strong passions that accompany us throughout our lives.

These different destinations in the United States are particularly meaningful because the works belong to different stages and directions of my artistic research.

Italy: where many journeys begin

Italy remains an essential part of my story.

My paintings are held in private collections in several Italian locations, including Trissino, Arzignano,  Valdagno, Brogliano, Cecina, Padova, Solbiate Olona and Latisana.

Some of these works belong to my “We ART the Champions” series, while others explore architecture, movement, memory and the relationship between classical references and contemporary life.

Among them are Venus, We Art the Gods, Divine Connection, Muse with Skates and Above the Colosseum, Rome.

Other works, such as Ready to Dive and Meditation and Poetry, represent earlier stages of my artistic exploration.

The destinations may be geographically closer to my studio, but each one represents the same meaningful transition: a work created in solitude becoming part of someone else’s environment and story.

Canada: a new international destination

One of my paintings, Dark Passion, is now part of a private collection in Edmonton, Canada.

The work explores the emotional power of memory through dream-like imagery, plays of light and translucent layers reminiscent of photographs worn by time.

Its journey from my studio in Italy to a private collection in Canada is another meaningful step in the international journey of my work.
