Indeed, he has posted many of his works on social media. This allowed him to be noticed and chosen by US companies.
"From an early age - had told the cartoonist Palermo in an interview on the web - I have always been fascinated by the art of drawing. I remember that I had a lot of fun copying the characters that decorated the packages of toys, newspapers. My passion for comics was born when as a child I received an issue of Spider-Man from my father. Over the years I realized I wanted to make my passion a profession. So after finishing art school, I approached the world of comics professionally by attending a course that was held in my city. In this way I was able to refine the technique, the study of the shots, the direction, and above all understand the great work and sacrifice that this profession entails.".
