OTHER WORKS

The works on this page may not be printed or reproduced in any way except by special permission of the artist.

My job is not totally casual; there is a preparatory phase that starts from an idea or a ‘trail’, a sort of basic planning (a thought, an idea, a sketch on a sheet of paper…). When I start the work I have already decided what to do but I do not know what the result will be until I take away and/or reinterpret the material (privation/containment/recovery/reprocessing) with the aim of pursuing sobriety and concreteness.

Perhaps my idea of taking away… simplifying… could in a certain sense be defined as ‘classical’… according to the intuition of George Steiner ‘classical’ refers to works which, through aesthetic experience, are able to speak to us regardless of the circumstances in which we live… By its very ‘alchemy’ a classic work, whether it be a painting, a novel or a piece of music, dialogues constantly with the human being.

This removing is a part of the pictorial process I chose to adopt… creating a play of effects on various levels… of colours that are first hidden and then brought out or removed… thus the pictorial material is not discarded but reintroduced in a raw and casual way into the work.

These “other works”, not attributable to any series, are part of my personal research and experimentation process.

Wait a few seconds before the opening of the works.
