Born in 1966.
The founder of CorkFashionArt is guided by an innate creative vocation and a constant attention to what emerges beyond the obvious.
From the outset, his sensibility has been shaped by refined details within Design, Fashion and Art, combined with a deep appreciation for Italian food and wine culture, understood not as consumption, but as heritage, identity and material memory.
In 2017, through an unplanned experimental gesture, he created a first prototype that would later evolve into a new point of convergence between Art, Design and Fashion.
What initially appeared as an isolated intuition gradually revealed its structural nature, becoming the foundation of a coherent artistic language.
In 2019, the project received its first significant professional validation through encounters with two internationally active figures:
a videomaker working in the High Fashion sector and a travelling photographer engaged in major equestrian events worldwide.
Their recognition marked a decisive moment, confirming the conceptual solidity and narrative potential of what would become CorkFashionArt.
The project’s innovative framework subsequently attracted recognition from international startup incubators, validating its structural approach to phygital art and blockchain-based certification.
From this phase onward, the project began to define itself not merely as an artistic practice, but as a collecting-oriented system, grounded in craftsmanship, material awareness and methodological rigor.
At the same time, a further dimension emerged: the possibility of contributing to the cultural enhancement of the Italian wine sector, transforming one of its most emblematic materials into a permanent artistic expression.
What followed was not an acceleration, but a conscious and progressive evolution – one that continues today – rooted in authenticity, structure and a clear sense of curatorial responsibility.
