"My tiny little noodles, my sweet girls, don't look down," a momma pasta sobs in one clip on TikTok. "Mommy, the air is burning, I'm scared," one of the baby bundles cries. "I don't wanna fall."

Standing inside curious block-like backdrops and lain against two-dimensional fields of color and texture, his subjects seamlessly meld into stories in which every detail carries intention. Taking inspiration from art history, the Milan-based artist references Surrealism and grotesque art through his use of chiaroscuro effects via light exploration and contrasting earth tones.
