Tommaso Santucci

Black ballpoint pen ink on small pieces of scotch which is sometimes prepared with an acrylic base everything tuck together on wooden boards. Words and drawings which form an emotional diary. Sensations, heard or spoken words, felt passions. I fix the present to understand it better, and maybe to understand myself better. I begin to create every work two to six months before the final arrangement.
I don't like elitism, my works aren't hermetic. Mainly we are dealing with anaesthetic conflict: like it or not.
And this is something that you learn when you're a child.
For example If I don't like the things that I do, I'll break them!
