Francesco Polazzi

Tell me a bit about the process you used to create your work. What vision, ideas and/or inspirations are behind it?
Well, when I paint I use many things to inspire me.
Sometimes it’s just a memory.
Other times, it’s a research about history.
I used vhs covers and playing cards to make a series of paintings. I use ancient Egyptian signs and figures.
I also think a lot about clouds when I paint. In fact, my last art name is Nuvola which in English is cloud. I think all the people are clouds in a way. And my paintings too. Clouds are my atoms. Because you can get through them, but still they are made of something. Because they fly high. Because every person sees all their world in the clouds. And because they change shapes without stop. Like me, and like people also I would say.

What do you love most about art & making art? What do you hate most about it?
I love the sense of freedom it gives me. And the sense of relax. I love to finish a painting, look at it, think wow, it’s so beautiful, how did this happen!? I love how I can still keep my inner child alive through painting. I love how I can communicate with it. I love how people see my paintings. I love the struggle within it. I love the social status of the painter 
