ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The cat’s eyes shine in the dark. The tenuous light of template service lightbulbs along the tenebrous and dirty length of the subway tunnel. An instantaneous and fragmented apparition: pieces of a figure that come out of the dark like an anatomical reminder, in the reflection of an opaque crystal. These antecedents-my leopards, they introduce themselves like an imaginary collection of family portraits. In the obscurity of the gallery, only tenuous and tremulous light of small bulbs hanging from cords barely illuminate the images. Everything is suspended in blackness. Like a unique canvas. And all of it undulates slowly, unstable. Dürer, Goya, Rodin, Robert Morris and “La lumière des coincidences” of Magritte. Melancholy can be seen in this curious evocation of a monstrous family. Without horror, one once again thinks of the story-book wolf, the phantoms in the castle, the unsettling clashes between men and beasts. Where is the Leopard? And where is the demon? Is he truly evil?

Sandro spent his childhodd in Venice and he will carry the enchantement of that incredible architectural invention along all his life. His family moved to Milan on 1954. That will be his own town during all the youth and the maturity. He moved to Barcelona on 1998, when he meet Anna, his third wife. On 2002 they move from Barcelona to Cruïlles, a small Medieval village of the Baix Empordá (Costa Brava), where they are still living.
