abandoned room
from the series "Abandoned rooms",
oil and pencil on paper. 21 x 15 cm, 2016.
This series of paintings was inspired by the metaphysical
landscapes of De Chirico. I have always been fascinated by their clear vision
of the architecture, with the precise design
of the shadows, almost anticipating the modern use of three-dimensional
modeling software. In the way I feel, however, more introverted and almost
unsociable, the outer space is transformed into a closed one, private and
protected, from which the human presence is totally gone away.

The color of memory
From the series “The color of memory”, oil on
paper, 21 x 15 cm, 2016.
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.

From the series “Blender”, oil and pencil on
paper, 54 x 42 cm.
This series
of drawings was inspired by the programs for virtual modeling that are used in
architecture. With these programs you can create extremely complex and
improbable forms, which could not exist in reality. It’s a virtual reality,
extremely fascinating, where what attracts most are the sinuous arabesques of
the shadows, the light reflections, the sensuality of the curved surfaces.
