Paintings

The research is based on a communicative need that transcends the individuality of the depicted subject to create an interpretation open to the viewer’s eye.
Although the subjects’ iconography identifies the photography of the 1900s as food for thought, the subject is however decontextualized and depicted in an essential form to be placed in a natural environment. The redefinition takes place until it reveals an anonymity that distinguishes it only as a physical presence for a perpetual and undefined period of time.
In the pictorial matter, you are immersed within the randomness of the gesture but also in a combination of tension, research and technique that merge in a single unpredictability of execution. A way of living the artistic medium outside the academic framework and the most daring expressionism, lays the foundations of this artistic research.
This is represented by the calibration of the emotional gesture that brings the technical expressive sensibility to a language unbounded from any deciphering and free from any pattern or pictorial fault, both of which are not contemplated. Working with an alla prima painting brings in all these combinations that manifest themselves in one single time all together.
The outrightness and the will to highlight the expression of the moment as well as the subject depicted, is sought after. The painting itself is characterised by a swift and determined execution that assumes expressive value and technical incisiveness. The act of painting takes on the value of emotion and reveals that which is darker than matter.
- The pictorial narration takes place in a stream of consciousness without preparatory sketches and by painting directly with the brush, alla prima, figures, landscapes and animals that form, by means of gestures and promptness, the painting’s body of work deeply felt and lived with freedom and urgency to create.
- The work starts from pictures of the early 1900s or pictures of women of the 40s: the subject is decontextualised in order to reach a dimension less directed towards the characteristics of the person portrayed and also to reveal an anonymity that distinguishes it only as a physical, human presence.
- Paintings that come into being by putting side by side instants and frames enclosing in a tale moments of a day or a lifetime. The painting itself is characterised by a swift and determined execution, alla prima, in which the pictorial fault is not contemplated and takes on expressive value and technical incisiveness.
- The research is based on several pictures mainly from the 50s and 60s through which the expressive means of human relationships is inquired, especially that of the couple, the forces and the intimacy that come into being, by fathoming its dark side without fear.
- The work comes forth from pictures of the late 1800s and early 1900s with the purpose of telling and dealing with that which is hidden from the eye

- The work comes forth with the purpose of telling and dealing with that which is hidden from the eye, by making use of the pictorial means experienced as a bearer of existential truths
