ABOUT THE ARTWORK

'About to' is work created on request for a collector living in UK. It's about the energy and dynamism associated to a huge change in life. It also tells about the uncertainties and doubts that accompany this moment in life, and the intimate need to bring with us something old, well-known and dear to us. In the end, embracing the change gives such a sense of freedom... If you wish to commission a work similar to this one, please contact me or Saatchi Art curators team. The original 23.6x47.2x1.6" (60x120x4cm) artwork on gallery wrapped canvas, is made with acrylic colors, gesso, resins mixed with sands. It's signed on the back by the author and ready to hang.

I'm a self-taught Italian painter, based in Treviso, near Venice. Art invariably gifts me with time. Time to feel connected to land, sky, water and to my own skin, story and meaning. I hope these works might offer you time, emotions, memories and connectedness. In my research, I explore the dynamic dance between nature’s elements and the resilience inherent in the human spirit. My work draws inspiration from the flowing forms of clouds, the undulating waves of the ocean, and the ever-changing textures of the landscape. These natural elements serve as metaphors for the challenges and transformations we experience in our personal lives and social environments. Using layered textures and organic forms, I aim to capture moments of transition—those fleeting instances where calm meets chaos, where strength emerges in the face of upheaval. My aesthetic approach emphasizes the fluidity of movement, blending soft, ethereal tones with more intense, vibrant passages that evoke the powerful forces at play in nature. These contrasts reflect the balance we all seek: the need to adapt like a bending tree in the wind, and the courage to face life’s challenges with the strength of a crashing wave. Through my work, I invite viewers to find themselves in the ebb and flow of these abstract landscapes. Each piece is a reminder that, just like the clouds shifting across the sky or the waves reshaping the shore, we too are constantly adapting, evolving, and finding new ways to thrive. It is an exploration of how resilience is not a rigid stance, but a fluid process—a journey that requires both the gentleness to bend with change and the energy to face it head-on. In today’s world, where the pace of life often feels as unpredictable as the weather, my art speaks to the universal experiences of growth, adaptation, and the quiet strength that lies beneath the surface of every turbulent wave. Through these pieces, I hope to create a space where viewers can see their own stories—where they can find comfort in nature’s wisdom and inspiration in its endless capacity for renewal. I deem my works are mainly influenced by modern and contemporary artists, such as Zao Wou-Ki, Zhang Daqian, Julie Mehretu, David Hammons, Wu Chi-Tsung and traditional Chinese ink art painters like Fan Kuan, Qi Baishi, and Li Tang.
