About The Artwork

This is one of the 6 images of my Bachelor project named Delicatessen. This project was focused on the feeling of disintegration. The contorted flesh, which evokes slaughterhouse products is actually the manifestation of an aesthetic of excess, stirring up both attraction and repulsion while revealing the implicit obligation of the observer to dissimulate his real feelings towards the image of an imperfect, ghastly body. The body and body fragments have no autonomous control whatsoever, they cease to function as an organism as they are animated by a superior force or by another body of a completely different matter, whose actions are visible through their consequences upon the flesh, and the modifications and manipulations it is subjected to. I wanted to capture in my work this exact moment of post-rebellion of the flesh, this tense silence in which bodies and their fragments are left, this convulsive juxtaposition between the flesh and objects of different textures (plastic, metal) that are able to shatter the common image one has on the natural, healthy and beautiful human body

In my artistic concerns I have many times been fascinated with the subject of the human body alongside the symbolism of the image of a deformed, fragmented, contorted body. I was always intrigued by the problem of human identity and finding that one part of the body that can capture, contain and express it. Through my compositions, I want to capture ambiguous images which correspond to certain moments of immobilization of the living human body. By trying to reject an approach of the idealized image of the body, I try to capture the vulnerability of the human being, its incoherence and its complexity. I am eager to explore painting techniques that allow us to reduce flesh to simple volumes which can be further manipulated visually. The end purpose is to induce a state of confusion in the observer in recognizing the common image he has of his own body or of the human body in general.
