About Me
My Journey as a Painter and Teacher
Painting has been at the centre of my life for as long as I can remember. I studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence before continuing my training at the Florence Academy of Art, where I further developed my understanding of the classical tradition.
Over the past twenty years I have dedicated my career to painting, teaching, and studying the methods of the Old Masters. Today I teach in London, working with students of all levels and sharing the principles that have guided my own artistic practice throughout the years.
My aim is to teach the methods, techniques, and discipline of classical drawing and painting.

How Patreon Works
My online painting lessons are available exclusively through my Patreon page, which is designed as an ongoing video journal of my artistic practice rather than a traditional course with a fixed starting point. It features a growing collection of lessons on portraiture, figure drawing, anatomy, oil painting techniques, materials, complete painting demonstrations, and insights into my creative process.
You can begin at any time by choosing the subject that interests you most. Every lesson is self-contained, allowing you to follow it from beginning to end without having to watch previous videos. As new content is added regularly, the library continues to grow, giving you the freedom to learn, explore different topics, and revisit lessons whenever you wish, all at your own pace.
