Elogio dell'ombra #5 Painting

Davide Maggioni (Lecco, 1973). After attending the Liceo Artistico Statale "Medardo Rosso" in Lecco, he graduated from the Faculty of Architecture in Milan. He lives and works in Merate (LC). In my work () I seek to explore the interplay between forms, spaces, and concepts, aiming to create artworks that invite observers to reflect on the relationship between environment and perception. I explore the possibilities of transforming our understanding of space and dimension, bringing to light the hidden connections between matter and imagination. Through the use of different techniques and materials, I strive to create works that manifest as multisensory experiences, stimulating critical reflection on our relationship with the built and natural environment. Through a constant dialogue with the natural world, I seek to capture the essence and beauty by illuminating the deep connections between humans and the surrounding environment. In my works, nature becomes not only subject but also a source of inspiration and guidance, synonymous with transformation and decay. By using materials that carry traces of time and experience, I aim to create works that reflect the depth and mutability of nature itself, exploring its transformative power and the eternal cycle of growth and decline. Nature thus becomes a sort of mentor, a constant reference point that guides me in my artistic journey, fueling my creativity and inspiring me to explore new artistic horizons.
