Arfanotti chose to study art to experience different areas like drawing, painting, installations, set design, architecture, and design without academic influence. This allowed him to develop his own artistic knowledge and language expressed across his works. As an artist constantly experimenting, he personally designs, manufactures, and paints his scenic backdrops, exhibits, and home. Born in Sarzana, Italy in 1974, he graduated from the University of Florence in architecture in 2004. His true passion is painting where he masterfully expresses emotions through a primitive yet magical, dreamlike, and mysterious style represented by day and night stone statues that undergo a process of humanization in his works.
