The color of memory

"The color of memory”, oil on paper, 35 x 35 cm.

These works come from some thoughts about classical sculpture. We know that the sculptures were
originally colorful, and that the Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures, but also the pre-Columbian
cultures, favored, to decorate them, very bright colors. But the passage of time has given us these
sculptures predominantly white, so, from the Renaissance until today, the sculptural representation
of man is almost always monochrome. And it is interesting to think that if by some historical
accident, the same thing had happened with painting, today we would paint with one color, and we
would find it quite natural, just as the monochrome sculptures seem entirely correct. Obviously this
reasoning should be much more complex, but for me it was only the starting point for a reflection on
the way we perceive reality, and what is that influences it. Looking for an expedient that makes it
look colorful something that is not.

Memory of Saint Petersburg

Memory of St Petersburg, the Neva River

Memory of St Petersburg, the Nevskij Prospekt




Two original pieces from the series “Houses on the water”, oil on thick paper, 50 x 37 cm, 2016.


When, in my holidays, I go to visit a seaside town or a river town, it often happens that I am involved into the classic tourist trip on the boat, or vessel. Such an experience, by definition, is a little superficial: the distance from the coast, the movement, the limited time, all these elements combined together make the perception confused. But at the same time, perhaps for the fact that the focus can not dwell deeply on anything specific, the end of this experience gives a reminder of the whole, that could reveal the spirit of that place. It 's true, the details are confused, the facades of the buildings overlap, we are no longer sure if the front of that palace was on the Grand Canal or the Giudecca, but probably at the end of the journey, that will remain our most intense memory of Venice.

The second painting is still available for sale at the price of 460 US$. Contact me in case you are interested in more information about my work, the sales prices of individual works, or the availability for work on graphics.
