Born in Palermo

1/12/1981
Since I was a child I started to paint, following the footprint of the closest artist to me, my father.

Late Summer, 1990
My family and I moved to Desenzano del Garda (BS), pearl of Garda Lake

My father gave me his old colours and told me:

"Walter, this summer you have to do something: go to work or start to create something!".

So, I decided to create something and...

My first works arise very early a strong interest between the audience and this was fundamental, because I thought that maybe painting could have become my real profession.

With the support of my family, I decided to subscribe to the Brescian Artists and to start my career from an Art Institute.

14-17 years old

With the qualification of Art Master, at the age of 18, I decided to continue my studies by subscribing to the Belle Arti Accademy, in Verona. During these years I had the chance to know an art collector, who introduced myself into the professional world of the Art Galleries.

Between these galleries, one in particular believed in my potential and from that moment I had the opportunity to create personal and collective displays around Italy, next to important artists, like:
Mario Schifano, Cascella, Marco Lodola, Salvatore Emblema, Athos Faccincani, Kostabi and many other artists.

Academic Period

I experimented and invented new painting styles: Confetto, Dripped and Conceptual Styles.
The last one was created in the last years of painting at the University and it will become my favourite one, because it reflects my philosophy.

Destroy in order to create something better

Not only painting

During the academic period, one of my friend and I create an art movement called ‘Pesante (Heavy)’ and we experimented new shapes of art:

  • Comics, giving origin to my trash character ‘Piccione Meneghino’
  • Scriptwriting, for a short-film "Pianeta Arcobal" appreciated also from the director Bruno Gaburro
  • Local Web Radio,  as presenter of an entertainment transmission
  • Video Editing, of personal materials
  • Director Assistant, in a short-film
  • Actor walk-on role in a MTV video clip "Stella Rara"
  • Photography, creating original styles

Master in Sculpture

In 2005 I get the Painting degree at Belle Arti Cignaroli Academy of Verona, but my hunger for learning new applicate arts continues; so, in 2007, I went on with the Master in Sculpture and I get my second degree.

In 2006, I projected a monumental sculpture, ‘Inside Two Sails’, for a well-known architect of Desenzano, which will become a project for the new promenade of Desenzano.

2008: Economic downturn and I grasp the nettle

image

I found my company, the Xausastyle:
A fashion brand, which aims to create unique pieces, like bags and t-shirts hand-painted.

In 2010, I realised a line of bags for the famous singer Patty Pravo.

I decided to publish my first website: www.xausastyle.com

In this period was developed also the App for my fashion brand and the success of this App will bring me to transform my fashion brand into a Comunication-Marketing Agency, thanks to the collaboration with some informatic and graphic friends.

In the same period, born the ‘Xausotto’ a long drink created with some friends during a summer holiday in Sicily. When I came back, my willingness of creating a start-up becomes my new passion.

So I put all my art into the marketing strategies, as for instance in the realization of the first ‘Xausotto’ advert, personally idealized and editated.

The video is still available on Youtube.

2013: the start-up is born

With Xausastyle team, at the age of 32 years old, I become co-founder of a new technological start-up: iTown App. It is a unique project in Italy, which put in a new network the Italian municipalities.

2017: Tarsì is born

Soon iTown App becomes an important service for many municipalities. This success bring us to transform the start-up iTown App in a software and marketing company

I put my creativity in my company, in the creation of new content and marketing strategies. Futhermore, my painting passion continues and the upgrade of this website is a testimony of it.

Waiting new years of creation and artistic / technological development, it’s a pleasure for me give you welcome to the new Shop section Shop for observing and buying my art or just to take a look and appreciate my ideas.
