I insisted, as first presentation's step, because the object itself makes such a surprise effect, to propose a hard contrast between the outer and the inner part: the first, consists of a very simple wooden box, not elaborated on purpose, to make the whole of attentions converging to the inner part. This effect, is visible when opening out the top, up to expose all and leaving it to its final position. Now, it is totally possible to understand the working process and ideation as a whole. Firstable, it extends on three plans and everything is developing inside them, and they are: the lid, the bottom and the two braces with four Chinese chopsticks fixed on them (in alternate order) from which many pendants come down. From the pictorial point of view, I decided (through applied canvas, painted with acrylics, then varnished) to give many different chromatic contrasts about the three background colors, on which the decorations alternate, and these are: lid's peach-orange, bottom's pistachio-green (which recalls Sicilian Cassata colors) and pendants' ultramarine-blue. The meaning of all of this, consists of a creation of an internal and independent " SPACE ", underlined by the pendants, exalting it. So kind of an " enclosed-all in one ", also readable from the outside: such a meeting, between the creator and the viewer, adding the whole of interpretations that can possibly be made. Such an interpersonal meeting. Closing slowly the top, everything goes back to the primordial state, with the consciousness (through a hand's simple gesture) of having made a mental proccess. The artwork has been originally conceived to join a project led by Associazione Arte Lingua e Cultura " Studio Giambo " Florence. It took part to the following exhibitions: MAY 26th-JUNE 1st 2008 - FLORENCE COLLECTIVE INSTALLATION - " Arte In Scatola " (Ex Murate); SEPTEMBER 4th-30th 2008 - BIELLA COLLECTIVE INSTALLATION - " Arte In Scatola " Banca Sella.

About Me: I started studying Art in the very first seventies. That time was full of ideological ferments: first of all, I tried to plan a continuous and lasting path inside myself, aiming to examine the best opportunities to establish a lifestyle that would eventually let me the chance to coherently live with myself, my own person, and to see things from different points of view, taking me right over the things, where it’s possible “ to get some air… to breathe “. This concept directly relates to the words of a close friend of mine from Cefalu’, that visiting one of my solo exhibitions held at Osterio Magno defined my works exactly like “ airy “. When I have finished with my workday, I usually make step-by-step decisions on what should be the best way to proceed with details, trying to remember, at least sometimes, to get a distant view of the painting, in order to gain a wide-ranging vision of the whole. Luckily and often, I’m pretty much satisfied of what I see in front of me, so I may decide to step further, putting close tones and balancing shapes. This process gives me the chance to set up my own way to make and to intend Art itself, which also coincides with my way to live, becoming an all-in-one. The interest in drawing, almost inborn, is the actual motivation that led me to start my Art Studies path. When in High-School, my allure in drawing increased day after day, also thanks to figure drawing, still-life painting and drapery representations, made exclusively through hand-free pencil; I also found myself caught by sketch drawing, where the ideas could met animation. My main choice, was the one to sign-up for the lab of Metal Art, which ended up in receiving my triennial Diploma of “ Maestro d’Arte “. In this class, what I found particularly interesting was the proper technique of glazing on red copper, that basically introduced me towards the proper world of colors, as well the painting itself. This way, drawings suddenly turned into watercolors, and pencils, inks and tempera shortly followed. It seemed like pretty much everything was leading me to the painting reality, thanks to a solid and prior base in drawing. The very first creations, consisted in placing eastern foulards (that I used to collect, from time to time) as models, trying to express them in a pictorial way. Right from this, I made the choice to get going with flat colors and plain compositions, showing central subjects next to never.
