The artist is a retired design engineer whose career spanned the golden age of industrial innovation and the rise of modern computing. An Anglo Italian, he was born in England, and grew up fascinated by how things worked — dismantling radios at age nine and building his first homemade wooden go-kart by thirteen.

He studied Mechanical and Electrical Engineering in the 1970s, specializing in electrical enfgineering science. Early in his career, he worked for a mid-sized manufacturing firm designing and building fairground equipment for travelling showmen.

After several years in High Voltage electrical installations in the Middle East, he returned to the UK when computers began transforming design workflows, he became one of the early adopters of CAD (Computer-Aided Design) systems. While many peers resisted the change, he embraced it wholeheartedly, teaching himself programming basics so he could automate repetitive drafting tasks. By the early 1990s, he had transitioned into a hybrid role combining design with computing systems.

Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, he assisted multidisciplinary teams designing equipment and embedded control systems. He developed a reputation for bridging the gap between engineers and software developers — able to explain complex program routines to machinists and mechanical tolerances to programmers. His tasks of expertise included a range of industries from food processing to oil refineries.

In retirement,he started to enhance his knowledge of design, turning to more graphical elements. This desire led to the unique combination of his passion for photography with newly adopted graphical design resulting in the images we see today which are artistically rendered images. These images transcend the boundary between photographs and canvas work thus offering a very unique product which cannot be replicated elsewhere.
