talkative, which base his art on the word, all his paintings consisted in simple sentences, aphorisms, observations, Calambour, proclamations and other ancora.La his artistic activity has been and is still intense and brilliant, volcanic provocative, unpredictable . He knows how to impress the histrionic ability, taste, and the game, and the paradox of transgression.
