  Riccardo was born on July 26, 1963.
His works are based on handmade sketches that are completed and filled by adding photos, textures and everything can be put in a Photoshop layer. The handmade sketches are fundamental to give the works a center, a focal point to finalize every component of them. The presence of text is constant because he thinks that we all live and move inside a constant flux of data.

In these cases, the text does not convey any particular meaning; in other works he uses few verses or short poems to convey a meaning.
The works below were prepared for an exhibition and have a resolution of 150 dpi and different dimensions but all fit in A3 format.
