Biography

Born in Alexandria, Egypt on March 11, 1952, and has lived in Rome since 1962, where he graduated in mural painting from the St Giacomo Institute, (1995-1996). He began his career as a painter in the seventies, becoming familiar with artistic techniques by copying the works of the great masters of the past. Since the 1990s he has been working full-time, alternating surreal works with landscape pieces. The feature that makes Gene's painting recognizable is his relief technique, using a painting knife and brush to accomplish three-dimensional paintings in oil.

He has participated in more than 100 personal exhibitions as well as 600 national and International art exhibitions, member of the art association Cento Pittori via Margutta. His work has also been shown in public and private galleries and museums. In 2013 his monograph was published by Giorgio Mondadori and edited by Giovanni Faccenda, Vittorio Sgarbi, Philippe Daverio, 2016 saw MyArt published with critical text written by Daniel Radini Tedeschi.[2] In 2014 some of his works were part of the set design of the GEO program of RAI 3.
