Bruno Arrigo

My work emerges from the encounter between oil paint and plaster — a soft, malleable material that I shape as one might carve wood. I incise, sand, and sculpt it, transforming the surface into a living texture, ready to receive layers of color. This process allows me to blur the boundary between painting and sculpture, giving form to both matter and gesture.

Creating is, for me, like walking through a forest. I take one path, then another, sometimes choosing to lose myself along the way. Uncertainty is not a fear but a freedom: I know that beyond the trees, an opening awaits. It is as if my eyes could see through the density of the forest, guided by an inner vision.

Each canvas thus becomes an abstract journey — a passage where matter itself becomes landscape, inviting the viewer to wander, to lose themselves, and perhaps to find their own way anew.
