Portrait Painting

A. M. is an eternal visionary: his painting is poised between truth and fiction. If on the one hand it is clearly that his painting is decidedly surrealist, on the other hand cannot be denied how much vivid (o lively) are these images in his mind. I think it's impossible to capture the essence of his work out of a fantastic world where the imagination climbs over every attempt of rationality. Static characters, anthropomorphs are protagonists of his canvases. The figures are immersed in the atemporality, distorted in their heart until giving life to real beings who forcefully want to become the mirror of a society in which respect for the natural order is only an illusion fictitious, legendary. The horror unavoidably expressed through the deformed is inserted in a context from the colours and shapes directly captured from the cartoons' world nearly as if the same painter is afraid of the coldness of his creations. Magical visions rise and fall in the imaginary of this painter who since he was child has given expression, through the paint-brushes, to spirits without time, intimately worn, moulded and assembled like a collage, with human and animal features who are poised between life and death.
