In 1977 he became the drummer in the progressive rock group Stormy Six. After Stormy Six disbanded, he became a visual artist.

The sheet was hung to cover the scaffolding on a building in Corso Magenta in Milan.[3] In 2006 he made the Installation art Ichthys Sacro Stagno. For that work he created large ponds on the floors of three churches in towns in the Province of Oristano. He then put fish from nearby ponds into the church ponds.[1][4]
