Artistically raised in London, where he studied visual arts and painting, Flavio starts as a photoreporter for travel magazines and periodicals. Soon he is involved in photographic projects on particular subjects, such as the Maasai tribe in Tanzania or the classical dancers at the Kirov theatre in Saint Petersborough. 

In 2004, three years after the Twin Towers attack, he is in New York for a work on the city, trying to capture how and how deep such a violence has affected people.

He travels through China in 2005, to emphatize the clash between the new capitalism and the old tradition.

 In October 2006 he is invited to a collective show in Los Angeles, celebrating italian art.

An exhibition on the homeless world in spring 2007 comes just before "Still Life", where the artist states the links of the extremes of a nomad humanity: a different loss of values, that drives to the excesses of social inclusion and exclusion.

The images of the show are excerpts from two different works, named Souqs and Still Life.

Souqs is a trip inside the close environment where all the social life in Morocco is held. It explores the world outside the commercial relations, and gives a hint of how hard life is over there, while making you feel in a continuously narrowing and tightening street.

The shots from Still Life represents the excesses of the occidental way of living, hyperactive on one side and rejecting everything on the other. Just to get lost in any way.
