ARTIST’S STATEMENT The theme of my artworks is JUMP, the physical effort to trascend human nature and essence. My artistic research is strongly conditionated by classical studies, specifically by Plotino’s Neoplatonic philosophical theories, which assert that phenomena and forms are but a pale image, an imitation of something higher – the most authentic part of the true being.Through my work I seek to discover human nature through a reflection in the beauty of figures and bodies in motion where the athletic gesture rapresents a temporal passage and a moral evolution of man.’
