Before becoming an artist, he was an aviator in World War I, a fact that he channeled into his painting later on. He spent his childhood in Rome, where he became involved in the Italian resistance movement in 1943. In 1945 he moved to Florence and graduated in political science. After the war he began to paint and produce graphic works that were heavily influenced by the neo-constructivist theories of Max Bill. In 1950 he moved to Brazil and devoted himself to applied arts.

His painting technique consists of dynamic brushstrokes. His themes move within the suffering of aerial battles, reflecting an exploration of form and colour. Adrenaline and introspection are terms that he captures in his productions in which the tension between the fleetingness of life and the shadow of mortality is palpable.

The Suñol Soler Collection preserves a single work by the artist entitled, Più inutile (1958). This was exhibited in the Foundation’s collective exhibition entitled ‘Italy: The Six Senses’ (2015-16).
