Saint Matthew resting on bipolar Leda Print

In my artistic concerns I have many times been fascinated with the subject of the human body alongside the symbolism of the image of a deformed, fragmented, contorted body. I was always intrigued by the problem of human identity and finding that one part of the body that can capture, contain and express it. Through my compositions, I want to capture ambiguous images which correspond to certain moments of immobilization of the living human body. By trying to reject an approach of the idealized image of the body, I try to capture the vulnerability of the human being, its incoherence and its complexity. I am eager to explore painting techniques that allow us to reduce flesh to simple volumes which can be further manipulated visually. The end purpose is to induce a state of confusion in the observer in recognizing the common image he has of his own body or of the human body in general.
