Passionate self-taught artist, Umberto is known for his large-scale animals, with their supple, graceful shapes underlined by a deep black patina that forms his own artistic identity. He has created monumental stingrays and sharks that seem to float in space. His work has won several awards at international and French art fairs. He is presented exclusively at the Galerie Univers du Bronze. The catalogue raisonné of his works was published in 2019.
