Il suo lavoro indaga in merito alla condizione tra visibile-invisibile/ udibile-inudibile e si articola in elaborazioni plastiche e ricerche sonore. Attualmente è impegnato allo studio del paesaggio: attribuendo un determinato valore sonoro alla definizione grafica degli elementi rilevati, scaturiscono partiture musicali riconducibili alla morfologia dei luoghi posti sotto osservazione.
E' responsabile del progetto curatoriale Ruinas Conteporaneas (ass. Artegiovane Cagliari) e co-curatore con Francesca Conchieri delle sperimentazioni visive e sonore dell'associazione Post Industriale Ruralità (Centro 3T, Sellero).

His work investigates on the condition between the visible - invisible / audible - inaudible and is structured into plastic processing and sound research. Currently he is engaged in the study of the landscape: attributing a particular sound value to the graphic definition of the detected items, musical scores arise due to the morphology of the places which are under observation. He is responsible for the research project <<Ruinas Conteporaneas>> (Association "Artegiovane Cagliari") and together with Francesca Conchieri, he is the co-curator of the visual and sound experiments of the Association <<Post Industriale Ruralità>> (based in Sellero at the "Centro 3T").
