"The most characterizing aspect of his works is the ability to re-bring to life figures that belong to the myth, not through the bright, formal and purity that belong to the neoclassical style that have taken place in the history of western art, but focusing on the most obscure , magmatic and dionysian of the mythical figures themselves." Maurizio Guerri.
