I was born in Sardinia in 1970, in the Barbagia of Nuoro, and I grew up in Ottana, in a family committed to keeping popular traditions, especially those linked to Carnival.<\/p>\n
From my father, Gonario, I have learnt the art of carving masks, and since childhood I have rendered the wooden masks of su Boe, su Merdule, sa Filonzana, su Porcu e su Crapolu.<\/p>\n
Thus, making Sardinian masks has been a family custom for generations: since the early 900s, to my father in the 60s, up to the current generations.<\/p>\n
We have made a lot of masks, and over time all of them ended up in the hands of people of any kind.<\/p>\n

From 2010 to 2015 I have been mayor of Ottana and, political commitment notwithstanding, I have found the time to learn how to engrave stone: I made the trachyte statues now in the Ottana square, representing the
characters of the town\u2019s carnival.<\/p>\n

Once, during Carnival, two separate groups of people entered a bar. By sheer chance, all of them were wearing masks made by myself or by my father. Those masks were made, and had left our home, in different years.<\/p>\n
That day they were all there, with me watching them.<\/p>\n

The concept of Animas de Sardinia was born in the 80s, for passion and because of a long family tradition.
Through ethnic and traditional works, I try to reflect on the disappearing of empathy between human beings, which instead I easily find between masks.<\/p>\n

My passion for carving, masks, model making, and sculpture, brought my masks around the World: they hang in the walls in Bangkok, Paris, Stuttgart, Naples, and Japan.<\/p>\n

My masks have been used by several artists in videoclips or live concerts:
the first were the band Tazenda for their song Carrasecare, then Piero
Pel\u00f9, Sergio Cammariere, and the international bands Placebo and the
Madden Waves.<\/p>\n

Besides masks, I cultivate a passion for Sardinian-style collectibles and pieces of furniture: masks, ethnic chandeliers are other works that I make for my customers, to meet their requests and ideas.<\/p>\n
