This feeling finds its expressive and symbolic function in colour, placing emphasis on emotion. Colour becomes a communicative bridge between human beings and the outside world, a reflection of spiritual balance that allows one to “feel” the invisible. Where light meets colour in a reversed horizon, where perception of the “known” is lost, it is there that human beings find their innermost need, combining intimate harmony and spirituality in the abstract song of colour and lines. Colours are like moods, the sea and the sky, vehicles of intimate feelings, here they become fields of colour. The most intimate unknown finds it’s voice in overturning what is real, deconstructing a known landscape across what seems our own interior necessity.
My place, Sicily, gives me light and inspiration. The square visions are like windows on reversed Mediterranean’s seascapes, where the intimate feelings are fixed and every connection with real is lost. Part of my inspiration comes from the theory of Kandinsky - colors like expression of states of being - and also from the big paintings of Mark Rothko - with his large fields of colors. The Inner Invisible is first a dream, a bright vision. I imagined all the possible colors of the sea and the sky, colors that I have known since I was a child, that depend on several factors: season, weather and humidity, and not just on the hours of day. Only after this process do I shoot the photographs. The camera is just the media which realizes and fixes my mental visions.
