Matteo Sica - Colour Wave Art is a mutli-media artist concerned with manifesting feelings of harmony, silent awe, and joyful enthusiasm for life. I come from the warm Southern Italian sea-town of Salerno, and I am currently based in Slovakia, inspired by the mountain air which breathes on its capital city, Bratislava. Here I work in my atelier as a mixed-media painter and fashion stylist. I also work as a teacher of creative writing at the Italian Institute of Culture. The following video shows you the exciting opening act of one of my colorful exhibitions ("AMORnia", held at the Embassy of Italy to Slovakia) where I sing my own poem in the musical performance of my creative team: https://youtu.be/Eer1IQgFUgI My colours are coming from within my southern Italian roots. I translate the vibrancy of life there into chromatic wavelengths. Shape is interesting for me, but the dialogues between colours is highly fascinating. In my artistic code, forms are containers of colours. When you look at my abstract artwork, look at it as a landscape from above, where all the curves and lines morph into new endings and new beginnings of ever expanding and ever merging natural elements: a hill becomes a fence, which touches a patch of sky, which is seen through leaves of a portion of a tree, by a microscopic lake embedded into a huge rock. Microscopic and macroscopic world collaborate into new realities, zooming in and out between concrete and abstract. Between literal and dream-like. I like the "wow" effect very much. I like "loud" colours but I skillfully balance them into a pleasantly exciting whole for a unique sensorial experience. I draw on paper with watercolours and graphic markers and I paint on medium to very large canvases with every art material there is: preferably I include acrylics, tempera, chalks, inks. My colours are a dance of ecstasy, the ecstasy of nature, good health, good mood, purity, playfulness, innocence, a divine connection with the whole, kindness, boldness, and synergy of positive energy. A few things, among the million ones I like: sea waters, mountain streams, ice-cream, pizza, mozzarella (I am mostly vegetarian now), quiet and smart people, to smile, to have stains of colors under my nails, to bike, to tell the truth, to spend time with family and best friends, cats, to sip tea, to read books, to write the best yet written novel, to illustrate my own fairy-tales (the latter is still in dream form).
