Riccardo Chianella

The motivation of my painting is the memory of a precise moment , the concrete depiction of an abstract thought , the recalling of a feeling , the witnessing of the impact of time on physical spaces , the dynamic of elements evolving .
all my paintings have a visual impact from a distance , striking colours combined with multiple media . i may use coal, wax, gesso, plaster, cement, moss, plastic sheets, sand, glue ... a 3d texture to stimulate the eye of the viewer . Yet , it is at closer distance that the true identity of the artwork reveals itself ; observing in details the various media interacting on the canvas allows us to “ see “ its title .
