Critical profile
Author’s
digital works are made up of ambiguous images elaborated by computer, where the
visual perception is displaced in the time connecting different periods of the
History of Art. The free contamination of these elements triggers unexpected
poetic images. Therefore, the environmental disruption of cars becomes unacceptable
when it profanes the peace of the roman country of seventeenth century or the
calmness of a Capri’s view of Philipp Hackert. In some works, images saved from miniatures of
fourteen century are inserted in modern landscapes. Moreover, influenced by his
studies on quantum physics, a piece of Venice solidifies in Arizona, as
predicted by the theory for a particle position which is completely uncertain
and it can appear everywhere.
