An emblematic title, it once again emphasizes my interest in representing the "myth" mixed with history and social questions. To this is added the purely pictorial passion for color and the material from which it derives, which leads me to prefer warm colors such as yellow, red, brown, and their nuances born inside the palette; colors deeply linked to something earthy and concrete, material, which an artist then tries to transform into the visions that he has in him interior world. I have spoken of myth because we are once again in a timeless dimension: there are human figures, but in the final analysis only have arms, legs and head to make us realize that they are human beings and nothing else. We have the fire brought by the largest figure that illuminates a bare and dark horizon from the Ice Age. They are certainly primitive men, and here I have tried to represent them, in the simplicity of the forms, as they used to represent themselves in rock paintings, always engaged to do something, something that had to do with survival. In a circularity intended to give an idea of "movement", it could be a hunting scene. Instead, I chose a scene of "war", a juncture of a small war of self-affirmation not finished in the history books, but that somewhere, in some time, I'm sure it happened.

I was born in Tivoli (Rome) in 1977 and I graduated in Economics. Completely self-taught, I started painting in 2006, trying to make up for the lack of teaching with a strong ability to absorb all forms of art, which managed to give me a wealth of ideas and stimuli for an artistic journey that since beginning I had a problem of originality and chromatic and thematic power. My first works are inevitably marked by a strong naive imprint, where a natural predisposition for the use of warm and tropical colors, was accompanied by the prevalent representation of scenes of life of ethnic groups of the "Third World" (African and Latin American), who have signaled me as an artist of travel and escape; plausible and realistic journeys in the punctuality of details, but "salgariani" (by the Italian writer Emilio Salgari) given the immobility of my residence; and anyway, I think, effective in expressing a sort of disappointment for belonging to a "modern" world only on the surface, but decadent and arid in substance. Later, the theme of the journey progressively faded, while the colors and the materiality of the color spread on the surface were accentuated, diverting the main theme of my work towards an existentialism with psychedelic hues and shapes deformed by eruptions of color, which become the individual and collective magma of that part of contemporary society that does not accept the drift and decides to express the discomfort, but without giving up the message of "beauty" that art must always bring in every historical moment in which it is placed. Ultimately, I can say that I have discovered painting late, even if, I believe, the mechanisms concerning the creative path behind a simple work, and everything that concerns dedication with seriousness and self-denial, even outside the hours spent in front of it at an easel, they were already somehow rooted in me and waiting for an opportunity to be tested. In a few years I tried to burn the stages (or at least recover as much time as possible) visiting many museums and exhibitions and studying the History of Art, and with a humble sense of work and ability of imagination (implemented through a deep meditation on each technical and creative aspect) I tried to take possession of those manual, stylistic and intellectual means that could give my art "recognizability" without which an artist could not be called such.
