ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The word “noumeno”comes from the Greek verb noeo, which means to think, and being its present participle medium-passive, it literally translates as: “what is thought”. The concept of noumenon is used to indicate an idea that cannot be experienced in the sensible world, but which can be reached through reasoning. The noumenon is therefore everything that is thought or thinkable by pure intellect, a "everything" of which we do not have and cannot have a sensible experience. If we think of abstract art which limits itself to using its own essential elements, that is point-line-surface and color, we understand how the concept of noumenon can be used in its specific declination in this precise sector. The noumenon is in fact the idea of ​​which we cannot have sensible experience, yet this idea is intelligible, it can be thought, it is thinkable, and therefore paradoxically it can also be represented, it is representable, but only through an art that is not mimetic, that is, it does not want to imitate the real, but rather through abstract art that detaches itself from the real, being a pure representation of the forms / ideas, or of the feelings they generate.

My passion for abstract painting was born at the exact moment I discovered Jackson Pollock and his action paintings. At that moment I understood what it meant to paint with the body, as if dancing on the canvas. I can only find a source of conceptual inspiration in my historical masters, Kandinsky for example or Yves Klein, who theorized the close relationship between the very abstract and spirituality, expressing a feeling without showing any figure in fact it foresees an enormous spiritual tension. However, there is a word that represents "noumenon", the term used by Plato and then by Kant to mean "something thought" of which, however, we cannot have material experience, but which can be hypothesized and therefore also, paradoxically , represented. Let me give an example: we can think of the concept of "God" but we have no physical experience of it, and to represent it plastically we have to invent something, find metaphors, invent something. I believe that abstracting in art means this, representing concepts or feelings which are intelligible and which can be thought but which are not figures. I am a painter who does abstraction, I often push myself to use the gestural technique which is a further specification of abstraction. I prefer lyrical abstraction to geometric ones, as you can see from my works. And this is why I often arrive, in the sign of Pollock or Vedova, in the informal, which is not just a way of painting that is inherent in the body, but more precisely a predisposition to paint. Basically I paint, with traditional techniques, on canvas, but I have experimented with other mediums. Above all I pay attention to color and its correspondences. Color is everything, color is the great mystery of life, light is color, color is light.
