I'm happy to announce that the underground and urban gallery in Milan Avantgarden Gallery has selected me as its winning artist in the contemporary art prize "Premio Ora".
I'm very proud of this achievement. I can't wait to work with such a good gallery (whose artist's quality really represents a challenge for me) and I'll do my best to be up to expectations.

Here are the names of all the winning and selected artists (the 20 winning artists will have a two-week solo show in the gallery concerned, while the 40 selected will all be featured, along with the winners, in the prize catalogue that will be published in the early weeks of 2012):
