basic improvements Painting

I am an italian artist working in a variety of media. Since I was a boy, I have had a deep love for photography. I loved capturing the essence of the world around me through my lens. I would spend hours in my darkroom, which I had converted from an old kitchen, where I could give free rein to my creativity. After graduating in law, the call of art became even more pressing. Photography still played an important role, but I felt the need for something more. I wanted to create something that was deeply mine, that came from my innermost self. Painting became the cornerstone of my artistic practice. Painting for me is an introspective journey of exploration of identity, memory, and perception. My works are fragments of imaginary narratives, in which different elements, sometimes contrasting, combine to create new and meaningful interactions. I am inspired by my passion for vintage photographs, in particular, the colors and atmospheres of the1950s, which provide visual traces to which, in an unplanned way, unusual perceptual paths and surreal dimensions are added. The figures that emerge, reworked and transfigured following a continuous process of questioning, experimentation, and discovery, evoke a lived experience that is on the verge of the banal, which develops in an unexpected and disorienting way, with a nervous and fragmented, almost abstract painting style.
