ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Sidewalk company in Italian is written as “società di marciapiedi” Human society has failed, it is rotten. The Sidewalks tell the story of well-being, in many places well-being can be represented by a simple fruit. How much is a fruit worth to all of us? And how much is it worth for those who live in poor countries where they have no food or comfort? We must think that it is right for those who are in good health and live with dignity to ask themselves how it would be important to improve the world. The hectic life, the work, the various problems that afflict us often make us selfish and we do not focus on the problems of other human beings. Suffering from hunger is perhaps one of the worst living conditions. I drew inspiration from observing poor people or many elderly people who collected fruit, some of it rotten, on the street or from the waste left by market stalls. I therefore decided to create a work that would confront us with some realities that we often don't want to see. City sidewalks are like an open book that tells us about the lives of those less fortunate.

A creative person needs examples and can observe and acquire them through work, cultural and sentimental experiences. The more you experience, the more message takes shape. The decision to change often occurs thanks to episodes immediately considered trivial; when they happen, the objectives change. As far as I'm concerned, the desire to leave my message has given me the tools to take care of my art, of my written words with a full presence in the creative world. In my works, both artistic and literary, I want to show another vision, different from the obvious one and before everyone's eyes. A hidden perspective and message that if seen will make you think. It's not easy to remember what my first thoughts were on October 10, 1969, shortly before I was born in Turin (Italy), but I know for sure what my father and mother thought. I feel the same feelings towards my daughter Marina, born from my marriage to Elena, thoughts that often inspire my artistic works and which have inspired the story told in my books. Living in a difficult city forced me to free my mind, direct my ideas towards art as creation. Creating allows me to talk about life and the problems of a world that conditions existence. I have the memory of my father who taught me to dream, to create and to write poems, aphorisms and stories. Over time, memories and colors have become a pleasant, private and personal game. Growing up in a difficult neighborhood shaped me and my family helped me chase my goals. The idea of telling life through painting, photography, Land art, Street art, the people I met has made my art a channel of communication. Young people and adults of all ages have always been an example for me where I can draw ideas. Curiosity made me discover many crumbs of truth in the history of this strange world.
