About The Artwork

I have a special way of walking through uncertainty. I can find my direction through the mist. Like the birds in this wonderful acrylics and tempera canvas. I was preparing an exhibition and I felt like I had way too few paintings to fill the gallery fully and richly, so I started to call for certainty, for self-confidence. For a "I can well make it here", the inspiration will come, the inspiration is already here with me, in this room, the idea is ready to flow through me, across the arm's lenght and out of my brush. I painted it in no longer than one week, and this time the process of artmaking itself - which I used to know as a "tell me where to go and I will feel my way on" -, gave me surprisingly higher results than I hoped for. Sometimes we say we trust things will go well, but we say it with fear lurking in the background. I chose to use a way higher proportion of tempera combined (not mixed) with acrylics than usual and I didn't have any previous experience of the possible outcome. I just felt that if I was going to paint a somewhat spiritual atmosphere of mythical and romantic journey in a vibrating sky across the ocean, then I wanted it to be depicted in a playful way. Tempera soothes and softens, it has a quality of "home", of density, of grounding. The decoupaged birds (from artist quality Japanese rice paper prints) add to the childish vision hovering over the scene. No drama, just adventure. And adventures end well, even though one might have to fly through strong winds and tornado-like colored clouds. No drama, just adventure. It felt like an adventure also to paint using 4 brushes at the same time, which I held with a special technique (I will only tell the new owner of "The great green sea inside your heart" how I actually did it!) I personally developed. There's a lot of wonderful glistening green in the sky, and that's reflected from the waters down below. The intensity of the scene reflects also the greatness and the vastness of the human heart which is capable of flying high and be inspired by great emotional landscapes. Thank you for liking, buying, sharing my art!

Matteo Sica - Colour Wave Art is a mutli-media artist concerned with manifesting feelings of harmony, silent awe, and joyful enthusiasm for life. I come from the warm Southern Italian sea-town of Salerno, and I am currently based in Slovakia, inspired by the mountain air which breathes on its capital city, Bratislava. Here I work in my atelier as a mixed-media painter and fashion stylist. I also work as a teacher of creative writing at the Italian Institute of Culture. The following video shows you the exciting opening act of one of my colorful exhibitions ("AMORnia", held at the Embassy of Italy to Slovakia) where I sing my own poem in the musical performance of my creative team: https://youtu.be/Eer1IQgFUgI My colours are coming from within my southern Italian roots. I translate the vibrancy of life there into chromatic wavelengths. Shape is interesting for me, but the dialogues between colours is highly fascinating. In my artistic code, forms are containers of colours. When you look at my abstract artwork, look at it as a landscape from above, where all the curves and lines morph into new endings and new beginnings of ever expanding and ever merging natural elements: a hill becomes a fence, which touches a patch of sky, which is seen through leaves of a portion of a tree, by a microscopic lake embedded into a huge rock. Microscopic and macroscopic world collaborate into new realities, zooming in and out between concrete and abstract. Between literal and dream-like. I like the "wow" effect very much. I like "loud" colours but I skillfully balance them into a pleasantly exciting whole for a unique sensorial experience. I draw on paper with watercolours and graphic markers and I paint on medium to very large canvases with every art material there is: preferably I include acrylics, tempera, chalks, inks. My colours are a dance of ecstasy, the ecstasy of nature, good health, good mood, purity, playfulness, innocence, a divine connection with the whole, kindness, boldness, and synergy of positive energy. A few things, among the million ones I like: sea waters, mountain streams, ice-cream, pizza, mozzarella (I am mostly vegetarian now), quiet and smart people, to smile, to have stains of colors under my nails, to bike, to tell the truth, to spend time with family and best friends, cats, to sip tea, to read books, to write the best yet written novel, to illustrate my own fairy-tales (the latter is still in dream form).
