     I develops radical designs that aim to stand out from conventional corporate identities. My logos are intended to facilitate a dynamic visual identity that can be applied in different media, from the website to editorials, from photographic and typographical aspects to illustration series.
  In order to pursue a theoretical direction applicable in the practice of new visual languages, the aim of my work is to investigate the structural characteristics of the figuration in search of the rules that govern it.



    With the growing variety of supports and the constant application of the graphic medium in a reality as subject to images as ours, the need arises to reflect and rationalize the massive production of signs that have emerged in recent times, many of which are already deeply integrated into various cultures that produced them.
    In this the pictogram, understood as the sign structure of the Logo, can rise to the synthesis of the whole figuration, from which to draw a new possible aesthetic theory on the essence of form. 
Through the exploration of various types of writing up to rediscovering their essence in the primary geometries, we will see how starting from the material on which the pictogram is modeled it is possible to raise it to the latest avant-garde of post-contemporary figuration.
