In 2017 he was among the founders of the collective Default whose artists were committed to exhibiting their works at unconventional venues (San Servolo, Monfumo, Venezia, Trento, Novara).

In the same year he was selected as finalist at the XIV edition of Italian Academies’ ‘Premio Nazionale delle Arti’, and at the Salvi Prize, Sassoferrato (Ancona).
