Samurai / 武士 Painting

Nix is the artistic signature of Giovanni Iacomino, Neapolitan, electronic engineer and currently manager of a multinational company. An expert in telecommunications and security and control systems, he has recently started an artistic career, dedicating himself to abstract painting. Nix creates pictorial and plastic works that go beyond the representation of real objects and that move away from known and recognizable shapes and images using a visual language of shapes, colors and lines to create a composition that can exist independently of visual references in the world. Apparently, nothing remains of reality: only shapes and colors. But reality is at the same time the real source of inspiration. Nix wants to restore beauty to objects that seem to have lost it with daily use and assign them a connotation of meaning different from the more widespread one. The paintings often incorporate waste materials used daily, such as paper napkins, packaging, etc., identifying in the objects themselves the quintessence of the consumer society and industrialized production. Reusing them is an aid, albeit limited, to environmental sustainability.
