Ruggero Salvatore

The original and unique idea is to represent a painting inside the painting itself, as if it were part of
a photographic shot of a furniture catalogue where aesthetics is indissolubly linked to the
importance of the creative act because, Salvatore seems to suggest, beauty cannot exist without the
physical gesture of creating it, generating it and positioning it inside the personal and intimate world
of each one, the one constituted by one's own home, the place where one can relax and meditate on
everything that revolves around everyday life. On the other hand, however, the artist's philosophical
thought also emerges, that tendency of current life to bring out the appearance at the expense of
being, of manifesting a depth that must be hidden as much as human presence is absent within his
canvases. Yet the objects one surrounds oneself with, are strongly present and almost protagonists,
those chairs, those sofas, that disorder that allows one to sense the recent passage of the man or woman who live in those places, as if their presence was not necessary to have a trace of their
personality, as if those objects told were already enough to reveal their attitudes, thoughts,
memories.
Trasformo le mie idee, emozion...

Ho iniziato i miei lavori con penna a china, matite colorate e filamenti di olio. Col tempo ho lasciato per strada, la penna a china, le matite colorate e i filamenti sono diventati pennellate dense di colore ad olio su tela.
