About The Artwork
Prickly pears are one hallmark of Sicilian landscape. When you travel across this island, it is very usual to see their colored fruits standing out against a blue sky. For this reason, it seemed interesting to play with this Sicilian symbol. As often in my recent works, light plays a leading role. In this case, my interest was to realistically describe the quality of Sicilian light, which is very bright and produces neat shadows. Starting from the concept of brightness, this composition – slightly changing the usual color pattern – puts side by side color and light. These elements are presents but disjointed. Color is present only in the oil-painted Plexiglas layer in the center. This colored spot is inserted between two black-and-white oil paintings on wood. In a sense, this piece is a philosophical exercise, an attempt to master my emotions to enter in the deepest meaning of nature. Framed with wood batons – no additional framing required. Ready to hang.

Transformation, light and the mixing of old techniques with new materials play a leading role in my recent production. The main link between my works is a quest for harmony, an attempt to describe the inner – and sometimes hidden – elegance of trivial matters. Ethereal female figures inspired by ancient Myths, flowers, fruits, peacocks and other pieces of reality are depicted in my bright figurative style that recalls the great tradition of European painting, especially the analytic approach in describing reality that was typical of both Van Eyck and the Pre-Raphaelites. My strokes are normally clean and the images neat, however I sometimes focus on a specific part of a painting, especially when an unexpected element - such as a Plexiglas layer - is inserted into the composition. In this way, the incredible potentiality of oil painting flourishes through the clear lines of a feature, in opposition to the blurriness of another one. My quest towards the soul of things pushes me often toward portraiture, this wonderful game of mirrors where the individuality of the artist merges into the inner self of the model.
