Avevo un pesce rosso

Materials: unstratched canvas 105Hx100L cm, Liquitex professional soft body acrylic, Amsterdam acrylic, Polycolor maimeri acrylic, Louvre acrylic, Sennelier oil pastel, Master pastel.
A final glossy varnish is applied.
Mixed media, on unstrached canvas 105Hx100L cm, signed on the front.

Era un'estate calda quella dei miei tredici anni.
Come premio per aver totalizzato zero punti ad un baracchino della fiera mi avevano regalato un  pesce rosso; in un sacchetto di plastica.
Non che poi nei giorni a venire andò a vivere in una reggia quel pesciolino rosso; dovette accontentarsi di una sfera di vetro che ancor oggi non riesco a definire acquario.
Ed è proprio li che lo trovai al ritorno da un week-end.
Galleggiava, immobile, con gli occhi sbarrati e la bocca spalancata.
Non so se tutti i pesci quando muoiono galleggiano; quel pesce rosso si.
Mi dissero che  era bollito per il sole che filtrava dalla finestra.
Io avevo dato da mangiare al pesce rosso; tanto, forse troppo.
Poteva esser morto di indigestione.
Oppure era morto di vecchiaia; non so quanto vivono i pesci rossi.
Oppure si era rotto i coglioni di girare in circolo in una sfera di venti centimetri di diametro.
L'ho trovato che galleggiava, con gli occhi sbarrati e la bocca spalancata.
Era un'estate calda quella dei miei tredici anni.
Non ho più avuto un pesce rosso.

I was born in Bergamo in 1974. I am a self-taught artist and i began to paint at the end of 2013 because i had the need to find a way to express myself. I am focused on abstract art, whereof i love the irreproducibility. My process of abstraction is constantly changing: creating and destroying, solve problems, focus on what's interesting and what is not. This is a continuous 'transference' and 'countertrasference' as a kind of psychotherapy. The thought is in some way transferred to the canvas and restored back to the ego. The creative path of the latest works is characterized in different phases. A first phase, which we can define as dissociative, in which without rules and constraints I put my thoughts and emotions on canvas; I use gestures, signs, colors, shapes, textures and different materials. In the following phases, characterized by multiple layers, I gradually move towards an associative phase in which I look for a common thread to frame the mood of the first phases. You can schematically summarize so: EXPRESSION/INTROSPECTION; a journey to understand oneself.
