Aged just eight years old, he attended holiday classes in printmaking and drawing. Son of an Antiques dealer specializing in military, he was brought up in a house by the Thames crammed with uniforms in glass cases, swords, canons and relics from various historic sea and land battles, feeling more like in a museum than at home. In 1995 he graduated from the Florence Academy of Art.
