interference-derived continuous chromogeometric mutations – state 001 - Limited Edition of 18 Artwork

I have been a practicing architect in the United States and Italy for the past 20 years. for over 15 years i have also been painting and producing artwork, mostly as a spare-time activity. in the past 3 years or so, however, this activity has become more than a simple interest or passion, and in fact a regular and steady effort because of my professional training, my early work was inspired by architecture and, in fact, vaguely represented structures and buildings elements. however, my main inspiration has come from physics and mathematics, fields that fascinate me and that i have studied extensively. these have formed the foundation of my architectural work and projects, and consequently of my artwork. in the past ten years, in fact, my focus has increasingly shifted to artwork less reminiscent of buildings and more of particle physics and quantum mechanics concepts, as well as mathematical and geometrical principles. by combining these subjects with the theories and techniques of the constructivism, suprematism, futurism, and rayonnism art styles, i developed what i call the “eigencompositions”: analytical, abstract artwork consisting of simplified yet very dynamic geometrical shapes, fields, lines and segments that convey concepts of movement, velocity, decay, fragmentation. these eigencompositions stem from shapes randomly generated through a systematic geometrical process and symbolize particle trajectories, the fragmentation of nature, as well as the uncertainty and undeterminability of life, to parallel quantum theory principles. as i further developed my ideas for the eigencompositions in terms of methods and techniques, i also started a new conceptual effort based on the notions of linear algebra, matrices and linear transformations, as an alternative system to generate shapes and whole compositions. the “linear transformation” compositions evolve from the idea of constantly manipulating a shape - by implementing mathematical rules and formulas - almost endlessly, to create a new one. here too, the concepts of movement and velocity are present. and the incessant manipulation and consequent change in shape, along with its repetition, reflect the fragmented, ever-changing, unstable and therefore uncertain characteristics of nature.
