Luigi grew up in Ithaca NY and went on to study writing and fine arts at Dartmouth and Goddard Colleges. Later he turned down a fellowship to pursue an MFA in New York in favor of an opportunity to study - and eventually live - in Madrid (Spain). During his time there he bought his first SLR – a Canon AE-1. ​ Luigi approaches art as an ongoing exploration – of meaning, feeling, ways of seeing and living. He aims to unite intuition and observation to create images capable of evoking emotion.
