In "TOPOLINO" I play with the two Italian words "topo" (mouse) and "lino" (linen).
If we put together the two words, the new generated meaning is "little mouse" which in English assumes the meaning of Mickey Mouse.
The final result of the work is Mickey Mouse being reproduced on a linen fabric.

Creative Freelance, based in Torino, Italy. Selling worldwide, usually to Italy, Canada and the United States. I take part in solo and collective exhibitions, both national and international since 2009. I collaborate with advertising agencies, personal customers, promoting and selling my works through several social platforms. "Sillabart Series" is the title that best describes and represents the creative process through which my artworks take shape. A merger between words and images, passion for double meanings, common places and expressions that become matter with different techniques, are the principles from which I take inspirations. The apparent simpleness of the objects that come out from my labor process reveals fun between form and content, the intent of recovering a child look: to play with words trying to invent them, syllabically compose and discompose them. The viewer can move his look many times from the artwork to its title, because it is here that becomes possible to find useful clues in order to discover the different meanings that the work expresses. I work with wood and collage, plastic and cement, rubber and metal, fabric and glass, sometimes inserting digital elaboration. Every material is valid and noble. To reflect upon the meaning of reality and the - perhaps - apparent contradiction between logic and paradox, does not exclude the ability to cultivate the "lightness" of ideas, and with my works I wish to power the solar, playful and curious side of those who watch them.
