Lucifer Despite its title, the subject is free will. What better testimony than the one who originated in Western literature and culture the eternal struggle between good and evil? Lucifer, namely the “bringer of light”, was first and foremost an angel, the most beautiful and powerful of all. I wanted to imagine him at this stage: when he had potentially everything at his will. It is the instant in which he makes the choice that will shape his future identity. The space is sharply divided into two, just like the angel’s soul is “torn apart” by that energy ready to reveal itself in all of its power in the immobile concentration of the moment of choice, the instant that will decide his future path. At the center of the painting there is the face of an angel, portrayed in a tile so that to suggest more its memory than its presence. It represents that which would have been, but Lucifer turns his back to it and directs his eyes the other way looking for an accomplice, almost, in the observer. The choice is made in free will. A dispetto del titolo, il tema trattato è quello del libero arbitrio. Quale testimone migliore di colui che ha dato origine nella cultura e nella letteratura occidentale all’eterna lotta tra il bene ed il male? Lucifer, ovvero il “portatore di luce” era innanzitutto un angelo, il più bello e potente di tutti gli angeli. Ed è in questa fase che ho voluto immaginarlo: quando era nella sua volontà potenzialmente ogni cosa. E’ l’attimo che consuma la scelta delineandone la futura identità. Lo spazio è diviso nettamente in due, così come l’animo dell’angelo e proprio come esso è “dilaniato” da quell’energia pronta a svelarsi in tutta la sua forza nell’immota concentrazione del momento della scelta, l’attimo che deciderà il suo percorso futuro. Al centro del quadro c’è il volto di un angelo, raffigurato in una formella in modo da suggerirne più la memoria piuttosto che la presenza. Rappresenta ciò che avrebbe potuto essere, ma Lucifer gli volta le spalle e volge lo sguardo dall’altra parte cercando quasi un complice nell’osservatore. La scelta è compiuta nel libero arbitrio.

nato a Gorizia il 23/09/1969. The Minotaur wasn't that evil, in the end. The Ariadne's spool of thread from which my work unravels starts from the surrealistic and symbolist fascination with Bocklin and Dalì. While unwinding the thread Mondrian's abstract experience and Burri's are also picked up while the geniuses Leonardo and Michelangelo remain the center of the labyrinth.
