| Circa l'artista |
In my work I have to use many materials, as many as I need to express
myself. It all begins with painting with acrylic colours. My favorite tool
is the spatula, a delicate and sharp tool.
I usually make my own spatulas of various sizes depending on the effect I
want to obtain.
Flexible spatulas, for example, allow me to obtain certain results that I could not
achieve with most of the spatulas available on the market. I paint on layers: I add
and I remove.

With regards to sculpture, I often use iron wire and galvanized steel to
create my “little men”, stylized human figures representing the individual in a
purely and direct way: man and his alienation but also
man and his most primordial dreams.
The stylized human figure is the achievement of my goal: a man in his pure essence.
Painting is a constant presence in my life. Today, beyond paintings on canvas, I experiment with new
materials. I have found my passion for painting on natural fibers. I paint on long shawls with maturity
and awareness. Painting on silk requires a level of patience that I hadn’t before: no mistakes are
allowed. In someway I can say that it is an oriental and meditated approach to art.
Beforehand, thinking over the design is necessary as there is no turning back!
Overtime I have discovered a strong interest in textile painting. We need to talk, in some cases,
about a real discipline.
Obviously when painting on silk I cannot use the spatula, although it is my favourite tool. It is possible
to use brushes, but my biggest challenge is to obtain the same expressive strenght of line and colour
on the stoles which I can obtain on canvas.
I enjoy taking pictures of my stoles while flying in the air, dangling like coloured clouds.
Silk has an interesting, soft and tangible texture yet unexpected resistent. It has an ethereal and
feminine taste that I try to immortalize through photography. |
