About The Artwork

The triptych of ambiguity is an invitation not to be shallow, because often a manipulated and therefore ambiguous reality is shown to us. This is the most autobiographical of my artworks. The tryptych is an oil on linen and consists in 3 panels. It derives from a Renaissance travertine stone that was used as reference for the construction of a cathedral. The artwork offers an experience of augmented reality through the Artivive application: each panel of the painting will reveal its hidden symbologies. You can also experience the augmented reality also in front of the monitor of your computer. Try it! According to my needs, Artivive has programmed the application to adapt to the language of the smartphones: currently it is available in French, Italian and, for any other language, English. The panels show esoteric mottos found in Dampierre. These are connected to three fairy tales, whose original versions are very different from those we know. From left to right: the rope refers to the first draft of Collodi's story, which ends with the hanging of Pinocchio. Cinderella has metaphorically a snake tail because, in the original version of Basile, she does not hesitate to kill the stepmother. Snow White instead, in the Grimm brothers' version, kills the real mother with the help of the prince. The ambiguous dwarf tries to shed light on some truths, such as children and dwarves forced by the King to work in the narrow copper mines. In the dwarf panel, the snake hieroglyph reveals the 3 tarot cards: The Hanged man, The Empress and the Hermit. It is associated with the letter Teth, which in Kabbalah means: "the hidden light". In the Pinocchio panel the raven hieroglyph, instead, reveals the 3 phases of the alchemical initiation: Nigredo, Albedo and Rubedo. To access the autobiographical level, one needs a Nigredo experience, depriving oneself of its possessions, represented here by one's senses... and meditate in the dark. Thanks to the phosphorescent pigment, the viewer will be able to read a word about myself and my character.

I was born and I live in Macerata, a medieval town in Italy. I started to love art after a trip to Holland, where I was overwhelmed by Rembrandt’s mysterious modulations of light. Then, I have been studying the references of the Dutch Master, up to the analysis of the creative processes of the Renaissance artists, even through studies on the various restoration by museums and retrieving information on several lost masterpieces. Going on with my research, as a self-taught painter I started using formulations of oil colors and supports compatible with those of the “old masters” in order to get a better duration reliability and thinking of their ability to communicate intense emotions. As a result, current issues such as feminicide and racism, or some classic themes like the initiation to Alchemy have been dealt in a contemporary reworking of techniques, styles and iconography of the past, creating in the studio my own compositions in which references to space and time are reduced to essential. I would like to stimulate the public to reflect on the surrounding reality, also through provocations, urging them to observe my artworks with greater attention, and challenging people to discover their several meanings. | Selected Public Collections Italy: S.
