Full bio

Allow me to introduce myself. I am a 43 year old artist from Genoa and I've been working in the field of fashion and design for the past 20 years.  In particular I have concentrated in reproducing and customizing collectible beads taking my inspiration from archeological and ancient artifacts.  Please visit my website where some of my creations are illustrated including artistic interpretations of glass beads of Phoenician, Roman, Islamic, Venetian and Indonesian origin.  All beads are completely handmade in resin , using tecniques similar to those applied in glass bead making (mosaic, layering... ).  Some examples of my work have been published in 2001 in the American "Ornament Magazine", in an article on replicas and artistic copies of archelogical beads and their value among international collectors, edited by Robert K. Liu, one of the most important bead collectors in the world and author of the most authoritive book on beads: "Collectible Beads". I have travelled extensivley researching, selling, exchanging beads and other creations of mine in India, Nepal, Seychelles, Sri Lanka, England, Thailand, Maldives, Cuba, Egypt, Costa Rica, United States, Switzerland, South Africa, Spain, Egypt, Australia, France, Cambodia, French Polynesia, Canada, Marocco, Hawaii and other countries.  I have met with collectors and seen several  bead collections all over the world.  I have reproduced and restored ancient beads for collectors.  These trips for me have been a neverending source of inspiration and personal enrichment.  I have also had the pleasure to travel with my family and www.viaggicon bambini.com is a site I've created to share my experience and advice on travelling with children which I hope you will find interesting.My creative activities need to be supported by the marketing of my products.  This is why I am looking for sponsors and buyers interesting in developing  and or representing my artistic projects and creations which also include  bags, belts, and other leather designs and special custom-made T shirts.  Remaining at your disposal for further details about my business, or to discuss  a possible collaboration I thank you for your time and interest and look forward to hearing from you.
