RAW as raw materials, an ode to pureness and candor. This artpiece is dedicated to Venice and its water. You can see the purest light blue which is also a true experience for the touch, it is the softest I could reach to express the perfect texture of water. Rust is also represented, real rust was used. It is a symbol of loss and of the state of abandon of some parts of Venice. It also represents the impact of time on us. Through the rust we can see the movement of the lagoon and the interaction among light, water and rust itself. White are the sky and the clouds which are placed at the bottom of the paint as Venice can provoke a sense of loss and wonder and the spectator can suddenly feel upside down. 

RAW is a contemporary view of Venice in an innovative and personal way capturing three basic elements: water, rust and sky. 

I created by myself all materials used in this piece.

I am a restorer and a painter. Ever since I was a child I used to spend my time in artisanal laboratories experiencing the smell and the touch of traditional matters as plaster, casein, lime, linen oil, sands. I am inspired by Nature, Venice, the Lagoon and the rural landscapes surrounding me. My artpieces are not always driven by a precise intention, I love playing with matters and colors and observing the dynamic relation among materials. I experiment new techniques with unprejudiced freedom to explore, to silence, to listening to the noises coming from my brush. My pieces reveal themselves during their creation, as in a huge puzzle. A sort of alchemy that becomes experience and magic for the spectator. I look for the right place for a color and then, layer by layer, the matter explodes and reveals itself. I wish to offer my world and bring people into my journey with authenticity and reassurance. My artpieces are not intended to shock nor to provoke but to evoke and to reassure with beauty. I believe that Art is a key factor to face this hystorical moment, we need it and we deserve it.
