Wallpaper#533 Painting

The geometric / floral element is taken from an eighteenth century Italian wall decoration, modified to be closer to my pictorial needs. My work moves in the dangerous boundary between abstraction and decoration. Always in painting we talk about this border: when an abstract painting becomes mere decoration. My research moves in this territory trying in an ironic way to face this question. From this derives the title of the series: Wallpaper. The aesthetic harmony of the wall decoration I use is contaminated by the gesture and the dripping that give a different perspective to the work. The floral pattern consists of a mortar for building, which clings to the paper previously treated with glazes inks. Finally, the dripping, which is usually done with water-based enamels: transparent white or black, breaks the compositional harmony and transports the work to the contemporary. The surface of the "decoration" in relief is due to the use of a mortar for building. Similar in some ways to sand. In other works besides the dripping, the pictorial surface is modified through one or more quick gestures of the hands.
