I am looking for happiness, just like You.


Close-up portrait of the writer deep in thought, capturing the essence of their journey through life's complexities.
"Exploring the labyrinth of life's questions: The face behind the odyssey."


To write a story is to know about the characters, contexts, challenges and possible outcomes or results. It’s all about change. Without change there is no story. Tell you a story means that I know all these subjects…But, how can I know the purpose or the results of my own life, how do I know which are the turning out points?


Life is like the clouds that we see through the window. They change colors, shapes, textures…Qualities and states that are always transforming, like the weather.

My story tells about identity, a personal journey trying to grasp what is permanent in “my private changing sky”. A tragic comedy that is trying to fit between the Void and Damocles’ sword world.

I visit cities to understand people and myself, I buy in local markets to feel the beat of community and belong, I travel the world sharing with strangers, listen to their stories to find mine, us. I thrive with beauty, philosophy, epistemology, teleology, religions, semiotic, sociology, history, arqueology, anthropology, I am devoted to art, painters, photographs, images, passion, architecture, sculpture, cinema, dance, music.

I am very excited by ecology, human evolution, political science, social contract, justice, conflict and peace.

I find myself mute in front of astonishing beauty of mathematics, quantum physics, human body and the Universe, starting from the precious and humble flower that grows at the border of a tiled pavement. I spend my days learning, writing, taking pictures of the ephemeral, try to understand the world and myself through the instant of a photo or the magic of a tale or a poem. I make videos about emotional intelligence and love having a walk with my dog and talk with my companion… and when we are luckier... we walk by the sore …

I like the calm of a sunset and dancing in the rain, I love fun and my family.


I’ve been blessed by life, and, at the same time, I had the stupid idea it wants me to fail... I like catching the emotion, I am a junkie of connection. I like to dream with open eyes. I see systems and patterns before understanding them, I behave as a mismatch and I am looking for the different. Cassandra and Lilith tell me that I am more than enough. But I not always believe it. I am looking for peace. Mine. Because I cannot change the world, just mySelf.

I don’t need to care what I am or what my story is, I just want to Be, like wave in the immense ocean or like clouds in the sky.That is my life and I am looking for happiness, just like You.
