EBBREZZA DEGLI AROMI Painting

Food has always played a central role in my work. I love good food and wine; to me they are one of life's greatest pleasures, and I like to celebrate them in my paintings. I aspire to prolonging those quiet moments in which we find ourselves in front of a fabulous plate of pasta al pesto or a fragrant cup of coffee with a croissant and we almost forget our surroundings because our entire being is filled with relish and anticipation.

I have always sought to capture reality and its tridimensional quality in my painting, so as to share with the viewer that magic which inspires our imagination, the feeling we experience when we look into a cake shop window. However there is also an ironic and light side to my character, and it too comes into my work. Indeed over the years what I do has evolved into a new kind of hyperrealism with a touch of comic strip quality that I like to call hyperrealistic pop; it is immediately appealing, has a touch of irony that we can all identify with, and it leaves the completion of the work to the imagination. In my art I try to create a rapport with its viewers, giving them a moment of carefree and soothing enjoyment, reminding them how wonderful life can be. I use oil on canvas and only use primary colours, which I mix to obtain all of the shades that I need. It creates deeper and more brilliant colours. I use Rembrandt oil colours, which are made using natural pigments that ensure that they will keep their brightness over time. The canvases are produced in Italy and stapled at the back, so that the edge of the canvas is part of the picture.
