About The Artwork
This nocturnal view – an oil and acrylic painting on wood – celebrates harmony. It was one of my first attempt to depict perfection through the features of a peacock. As in other paintings of that early period, I described a precise space instead of a semi-abstract background. It is a fresh summer night and all is calm. The moonlight lights up the colourful feathers of the elegant bird, which walks quietly within an ancient courtyard. Silence is there, you can only hear the peacock steps and, maybe, some crickets that are singing in the distance. However, there is also a sense of mystery. You can see just a small part of the courtyard, and a portal lies in front of you. Where does it lead to? No-one knows exactly, you can only guess and imagine… What inspired me was the surreal atmosphere of some Sicilian summer nights. My main interest, however, has never been to precisely describe actual spaces. There are not punctual references to a specific place, instead this painting describes my dreamy mood. I hope my work can convey this pleasant sense of peace and curiosity. Not framed.

Transformation, light and the mixing of old techniques with new materials play a leading role in my recent production. The main link between my works is a quest for harmony, an attempt to describe the inner – and sometimes hidden – elegance of trivial matters. Ethereal female figures inspired by ancient Myths, flowers, fruits, peacocks and other pieces of reality are depicted in my bright figurative style that recalls the great tradition of European painting, especially the analytic approach in describing reality that was typical of both Van Eyck and the Pre-Raphaelites. My strokes are normally clean and the images neat, however I sometimes focus on a specific part of a painting, especially when an unexpected element - such as a Plexiglas layer - is inserted into the composition. In this way, the incredible potentiality of oil painting flourishes through the clear lines of a feature, in opposition to the blurriness of another one. My quest towards the soul of things pushes me often toward portraiture, this wonderful game of mirrors where the individuality of the artist merges into the inner self of the model.
