He preferred the painting of lagoon subjects, but he also painted landscapes, portraits and figure paintings. His paintings narrate scenes of everyday life with an impressionist vein. He participated in numerous official events such as the Venice Biennials, Milan, Rome etc. He loved to portray the natural lights of the landscape using a very bright chromatic range and quick and safe brushstrokes.
