He holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) – Art, Design and Technology (2010-2013); and a BA (2004-2007) in Sculpture (Camberwell College of Art, London).In 2020 he has successfully completed a Postgraduate MA in Fine Art at LJMU (John Moore University) Liverpool.

 He has been the initiator of various collective, from the italian group Action-Hour with artist Stefan Locker behind the renowned Jazz Club Praga Cafe' in Bologna, Italy and TheForeignOffice in London to the collective Material Matters founded in 2018 in Liverpool. He was an active member of The Well artist studios in Liverpool and a part-time collaborator with Urban Workbench, a nomadic learning hub.

 His work explores the affective potentialities emerging from the relationship between objects and humans; how objects trigger our emotional responses and memories; and how these are played out through our locations and dis-locations in space. His approach to Art making is highly multidisciplinary to include; sculpture, sound and video installation, site-specific interventions, photography, performance and Computer Aided Design technology.

  Angelo has been and still presenting his work in various site-specific venues in London, Liverpool and Italy. He has collaborated with artist Nicola Rae; actress Alakananda Samath; poet/writer/entrepreneur David Ellis; artist/poet/writer John Elcock and performer/writer Silvia Battista. Angelo is also a virtuoso Theremin player, an instrument which closely relates to his work as a DIY electronic performer/sculptur. He has recently collaborated and performed with the group of the MIMOIDS at Fabric District in Liverpool. Angelo is increasingly interested in fostering collaborations with galleries, curators and cultural institutions eager to explore the relationship between art, science, sound and technology and education.
