About The Artwork

THE WORK IS MADE WITH VERY DURABLE MATERIALS, the highest quality acrylic / vinylic colors on Fabriano paper of 300g. I created the drawings interpreting, through the metamorphosis, fragments of ancient Roman statues of Hellenistic inspiration and the anatomical human body. The expression of the icon of the male body of the work represents the relationship between the work of art and nature, between the body represented in the work of art and the anatomical human body. The artwork is part of Le PICTA. My composition are reflections on the concept of time as a subjective and cultural memory, connecting the archaeological material to our contemporaneity, with at the center the MAN. The writing becomes image. Starting from silkscreen printing, I developed a special personal technique that I’ve been using for many years to create unique artworks, not to produce multiples. The preparatory drawingswere engraved on screen printing frames, becoming the protagonist icons of the compositional stories as unique moments. I “painted” in “layers,” 10 colours on Fabriano papers, applying silkscreen printing by hand, with the direct method, handling the screens as if they were paintbrushes, pencils or engraving points, thus working with superimposed “sets of shapes,” enables me to create sharp images whose strong and clean chromatic impact supports the materiality of the acrylic/vinyl colors, and at the same time renders details with great precision. The beauty of this technique also lies in the trace left by the layer of ink that passes through the screen mesh, and in the vibrant intensity of the colors. Is a unique piece, UNICUM
