Stagno encases the concept of a childish memory of mine, about the view of a huge lawn (though we all know that spaces often display way bigger in the imagination of a child) called "Fondo Marasà" situated in Palermo, that lately gone destroyed because of cementification and buildings' edification. Over a corner, a brackish pond and stones, frogs, dragonflies all around... A cryptic and fascinating place to be, where imagination can give off. The painting get a move through large and soft horizontal paintbrushes, proceeding downward with different green tones, often faded, yet further stressed by white strips that remind water's own turbidity. Here and there, it seems like a few other bright green tones would let the light filtering. More determined azure glares display right on top, where the light of the sky prevails over pond's atonic pressed stagnancy.

About Me: I started studying Art in the very first seventies. That time was full of ideological ferments: first of all, I tried to plan a continuous and lasting path inside myself, aiming to examine the best opportunities to establish a lifestyle that would eventually let me the chance to coherently live with myself, my own person, and to see things from different points of view, taking me right over the things, where it’s possible “ to get some air… to breathe “. This concept directly relates to the words of a close friend of mine from Cefalu’, that visiting one of my solo exhibitions held at Osterio Magno defined my works exactly like “ airy “. When I have finished with my workday, I usually make step-by-step decisions on what should be the best way to proceed with details, trying to remember, at least sometimes, to get a distant view of the painting, in order to gain a wide-ranging vision of the whole. Luckily and often, I’m pretty much satisfied of what I see in front of me, so I may decide to step further, putting close tones and balancing shapes. This process gives me the chance to set up my own way to make and to intend Art itself, which also coincides with my way to live, becoming an all-in-one. The interest in drawing, almost inborn, is the actual motivation that led me to start my Art Studies path. When in High-School, my allure in drawing increased day after day, also thanks to figure drawing, still-life painting and drapery representations, made exclusively through hand-free pencil; I also found myself caught by sketch drawing, where the ideas could met animation. My main choice, was the one to sign-up for the lab of Metal Art, which ended up in receiving my triennial Diploma of “ Maestro d’Arte “. In this class, what I found particularly interesting was the proper technique of glazing on red copper, that basically introduced me towards the proper world of colors, as well the painting itself. This way, drawings suddenly turned into watercolors, and pencils, inks and tempera shortly followed. It seemed like pretty much everything was leading me to the painting reality, thanks to a solid and prior base in drawing. The very first creations, consisted in placing eastern foulards (that I used to collect, from time to time) as models, trying to express them in a pictorial way. Right from this, I made the choice to get going with flat colors and plain compositions, showing central subjects next to never.
