"Mistery on San Marco Square" Print

In my artistic investigation over the past five years I have sought to develop compositions directed at aesthetic rather than conceptual inquiry. I have aimed to resize the roles of "topic" and "subject" in my painting relegating them to a subordinate level in relation to the general pictorial composition of the work. I have strived to employ the "subject" as merely yet another element, on the same level as chromatic research, light, surfaces, geometry, relativist poetry, metaphysics... Studying the complex relationships between harmony and disharmony within each individual work present me with an endless source in the exploration of a new aesthetic horizon. (see The Time). The marriage of these "discordant" elements and their union in a "harmonious" work is an exploration of the extremes of my pictorial language. The study of physics, metaphysics and relativity has always been present in my work. It is communicated through geometric elements (the Cartesian system), beams of light (subtle golden lines), the use of bichromatic colours, the pairing of elements to communicate the idea of depth, material, static condition and a metastable existence of things (see HA HA). Analogously, the irony present in my paintings recalls the relativity of words, meaning, the knowledge and perception of "reality".
