LandEscape 42 Art Review
continue incorporating my past styles and forms in my new works too just to keep a natural flow but in different contexts and concepts. You will see that in my latest work of art ,the wearable landscape: “Blossom Escape“ Another interesting project of yours that has particularly impacted on me and on which I would like to spend some words is the Inside of my mind series. The multilayered experience conveyed by the paintings is capable of bringing a new level of significance, to the usual idea behind the concept of landscape: and I would go as far as to state that in a certain sense it invites the viewers to challenge the common way to perceive not only the outside world, but our inner dimension... By the way, I'm sort of convinced that some informations & ideas are hidden, or even "encrypted" in the environment we live in, so we need -in a way- to decipher them. Maybe that one of the roles of an artist could be to reveal unexpected sides of Nature, especially of our inner Nature... what's your point about this?
Our inner nature? I think this notion has to do more with our biological and spiritual state. I believe an artist role is to try to make sense of everything about this world as if he doesn’t, how is the world supposed to know what to do? I believe this gives a purpose to our human kind existence. And a purpose makes us want to reinvent the future.
I dare say that your works can be also considered allegories of the conflictual relation between Time and Memory: your paintings seems to be pervaded with an inner narrative, but you reject an explicit explanatory strategy: rather, you seem to offer to the viewer an Ariadne's Thread that allows to find personal interpretations to the stories you tell through your colorful plasticity. How much do you explicitly think of a narrative for your works?
All of my paintings have a story behind it. Every texture and each drop of color used is a word written on the canvas. Inevitably my work is an integral aspect of my personality and experience. In fact, these paintings are the poetry of my life. When you see texture in my work you must imagine there must be a story behind it. Psychologically you don’t accumulate layers of paint and excessively play with it for no reason. Coming from a background of fear with violence and poverty my paintings symbolize freedom of expression. The more texture you see the lauder is the sounds of my scream. I like the way your exploration of the semantic potential of the media leads you to play with the ambiguity between Visual and Plasticity: the hallmark of your approach seems to be an incessant search of an organic, almost intimate symbiosis between several disciplines, that in a certain sense augment the expressive potential of painting: while crossing the borders of different artistic fields have you ever happened to realize that sometimes a symbiosis between different disciplines is the only way to
