ABOUT THE ARTWORK

We do not know what life holds for us in "Balloon Seller", so simply naked, in flight between fears, hopes and desires we nourish the dream and its connection with the inner world. To open up - from these dizzying heights - to the soul, the only primitive place in which we are all, undifferentiated to bridge the gap between mental landscape and natural landscape, between construction and sensation. A counterpoint, more than a real contrast, between the white texture of the sky and the black of the iron filings of the balloons that limits it ... something that enriches the image and at the same time takes away any naturalistic function. Non sappiamo cosa ci riserva la vita in "Venditore di Palloncini", così semplicemente nudi, in volo tra paure, speranze e desideri nutriamo il sogno e il suo legame con il mondo interiore. Per spalancarci - da queste altezze vertiginose - all’anima, unico luogo primitivo in cui noi siamo tutto, indifferenziati per colmare il fossato tra paesaggio mentale e paesaggio naturale, tra costruzione e sensazione. Un contrappunto, più che un vero contrasto, fra la trama bianca del cielo e il nero della limatura di ferro dei palloncini che la limita… qualcosa che arricchisce l’immagine e che al contempo le toglie ogni funzione naturalistica. Nous ne savons pas ce que la vie nous réserve à la "Vendeur de Ballons", si simplement nus, en fuite entre peurs, espoirs et désirs, nous nourrissons le rêve et sa connexion avec le monde intérieur. S'ouvrir - de ces hauteurs vertigineuses - à l'âme, seul lieu primitif dans lequel nous sommes tous, indifférencié à combler le fossé entre paysage mental et paysage naturel, entre construction et sensation. Un contrepoint, plus qu'un vrai contraste, entre la texture blanche du ciel et le noir de limaille de fer des ballons qui la limite ... quelque chose qui enrichit l'image et en même temps enlève toute fonction naturaliste.

My artistic research is closely linked to the vision of the world as a movement permeated by the energy of human fragility. At the core of my work lies the idea of «Corpus-et-Vulnus,» an existential alchemical synthesis that merges the physical and spiritual aspects. Visually, it’s not just about haptic volumes triggered within the device. I move within the unusual space of interstitial zones between painting∞sculpture, influenced by the language of cinema, dance, music, and photography, in order to continually re-signify exhibition spaces and experiment with practices that foster a unique process of relationships. This process can unveil a shared lexicon between artists and participants. Among many other things, I have also abandoned the nail of painting being attached to the wall of a white cube and brought the devices down from the pedestal to the ground amidst the «contemporary cathedrals of vulnerability»: former prisons-asylums-slaughterhouses-hospitals-church-boats… hibernated places in our metropolises where we can discover what lies behind-the-functioning-world. To concretize my artistic vision, I have named the devices “Communicating Artistic Organisms” because they do not have a fixed and concluded form, but are composed of an ever-evolving “Cosmic-Fabric-Weave,” where everything is in a state of change: chemical reactions, fermentations, chromatic alterations, and decay. This name reinforces the idea that art is a process closely linked to life as raw material and involves an active and inclusive interpretative nature between artists and participants, where the entire process of relationships that ensues can reveal connections, affinities, and possible developments. Expanding on the terms of site-specific and site-sensitive devices, I speak of «Site-Coexistence,» which is the attempt to create not a confrontation but a dialogue between multiple existences for a more impactful experience, even if confined to the time and space of the exhibition performance. My personal artistic language has developed through experimentation and inspiration from great masters such as Kiefer, Parmiggiani, Beuys… My artistic design is heavily influenced by the tradition of informal and conceptual art, in which the irreversible and continuous transformation of the «Body-beyond-Matter» is an integral part of an «Nomadic Ethics» and «Aesthetics-of-Convergence» based on the creative mechanisms of Ruins.
