About The Artwork

oil on gold leafed canvas Back standing female nude near the fire on a beach, looking at the sea where a sail boat is almost crashing on the reef. The scene is involved in a dramatic sunset, made out by a gold leafing backside and dark clouds dotted. The sunset goldy light reflect onto the sea surfice. A wooden campfire burn with flames in a side, nearby the sire. She is naked but a black cloth hang from a shoulder. olio su tela con doratura a foglia Il dipinto è parte del ciclo “Le Sante Sospese” La sirena è rivolta verso il mare. Con la sua bellezza e i suoi richiami attira a se i marinai. Costoro affascinati dal suo canto non si avvedono della scogliera che li farà naufragare. Vi si dirigono a tutta forza, presi dalla bramosia di quell’essere fantastico, che promette loro infinite gioie e godimenti. Forse la sirena incarna il mito dell’eterna lotta che l’uomo compie per equilibrare il suo desiderio, il suo eros, con la sua ragione, cercando di trovare un equilibrio tra te sue due nature, istintiva e razionale. L’essere umano forte, psichicamente maturo e appagato di se dice: conosci e sperimenta gli istinti e le passioni, ma non fartene schiavo. Usali e moderali con l’uso del raziocinio, solo in questo modo entrerai in comunione con la vita e col mondo. Ulisse, uomo non comune, volle sapere, conoscere e senza rinunciare alla mente che gli suggerì di farsi legare, volle provare ad abbandonarsi, a darsi parzialmente in pasto all’istinto e al richiamo fortissimo del desiderio. Certo per fare questo, da uomo saggio e prudente quale il mito ce lo tramanda, non tralasciò di ancorarsi all’albero maestro del suo se più profondo, ne di proteggere coloro che, suoi compagni, legati non erano, turandogli le orecchie con la cera. Anche in questo mito si è scelta la figura femminile della sirena per ammonire l’uomo a non lasciarsi andare all’istinto, per inibirne l’audacia e la sete di conoscenza. Ma questa sirena, quella del quadro, sembra molto improbabile come mangiatrice di uomini. Gli scogli in fondo sono così vicini alla riva che, anche naufragando, i marinai potrebbero trovare a terra piuttosto il calore di un fuoco, il ristoro e il conforto di materne braccia femminili.

I was born in Florence in 1957 where I grow up end presently live. After the studies in Artistic Liceum and some experiences in the field of avant-garde theatre, at the half "˜70, I started an over 25 years course in the art and artistic handcraft world. In 1976 I begun to built theatrical and artistic paper maché masks. In 1978 I founded "Atelier d'Arte I MASCHERERI" (a real forge of ideas and artistic enterprises), that in a short time imposed itself to the national an international attention, allowing me to travel all over the world, exporting my art, fruit af an iconographic and artistic research above the theatre and the mask, the connected rituals and the carnival tradition. Through that experience I could know artist and artificers of the most different tendencies. Beside the masks and the paper maché sculpture, at that time I was also developing my personal pictorial research: in 1977 I was associate with "Baphomet Cultural Center"in Florence, at that time goal and stage of painters, sculptors, critics and personages of the art scene. In 1981 took place my first exibition at Ken's Art Gallery of Florence (still existing!), followed by others in Italy and abroad, invited in USA, Japan, Singapore and Germany. In the first '90 I was given up mainly to paintings, but at the same time it take shape an other great passion of my life: the music, that I always cultivated over all as percussionist, drummer, jazz, R&B and salsa lover. From 1992 up to 2002 I had a quite big succes as EL CHEVERE Sabor DJ, organizing salsa nights, festival of live latin music. This long and various experience enrich my pictorial activity with inspiration, benefits and allowed me to get in touch with oter artists and countries in the world. Around the half '90 up to the 2002, I made some studio trips along Italy and abroad (3 of them in the Caribbean countries where I sold some of my paintings and enriched may musical experience). In that period I realized sketches, drowings, writings and various matirial useful to became foudating base and nucleus of the nextpaintings. My figurative painting tower in his center the feminine figure in a simbolic atmosphere, in a spiritual space; A sort of anti-conventional neopaganism. It is in the beginning of 2002 "Le sante Sospese"(susopended saints) idea start to take form.
