About The Artwork

The work is inspired by thoughts about time and after my reading about time in physics, philosophy and in literature. “…even if his body perishes and his consciousness dissolves, just a moment before his thought can seize a point and divide it infinitely. Remember that ancient paradox about the flying arrow. The flying arrow is stationary. Physical death is the arrow. Fly in a straight line aiming at his brain. No one can avoid it. (…) Time advances the arrow. However, as I told you, thought divides time indefinitely. This is why that paradox ends up being real. The arrow never reaches its destination. - Immortality, in short. - Exactly. People who live in their thoughts are immortal. Or if not quite immortal, they get indefinitely close". Murakami

I am an Italian-born Washington DC-based artist. I explore patterns of structures in nature. My ritual is based on the study of objects, materials and shapes which recall natural geometries. Sometimes, I use them to make compositions representing an allegorical landscape. My works are created on a ground uneven wash of thin paint that reveals large gestural movements with a variation of pigment density. The colors are usually based on something that catches my interest in my day combined with a psychological status. I also play with a combination of sharp edges and fading surfaces, transparencies and more dense colors. The pigment is often worked into a compact smooth surface that reflects the light like a mirror. What On this basis, I start building a geometric, lyric, composition that reflects concepts from philosophy, literature, myth and physics about the time. My painting are abstracts or representational and recently they reflect the theories about the structure of the time. I am fascinated and obsessed with time. Encased by birth and death, it is one of the most complex problem ever explored. Time as a subject of my recent paintings is also related to what we are and our memories.
