The
interest in art was born in the early 2000s when I started travelling
and visiting exhibitions and museums both in Italy and abroad. I started
getting interested in making some art about in 2011, after buying some
paintings of artists that I liked.
By studying the history of
those who had made those paintings and why they had come to their
artworks from their thoughts, I felt the urge to look for my own
language to carry my thoughts and ideas to the outside.
As I was
progressing with my work, many paintings on materials ranging from
canvases to paper up to cardboard recovered from industrial packaging
have accumulated although almost all those works have been destroyed. In
about 2014 I decided to stop to deepen and better define what I had
tried to translate into images.
At
some point I stopped from the initial (instinctive) phase and focused
on the idea of colour and the thought that generates it.
The preconceived thought representing the limit of our point of view; both in colour and in life.
White
pictures filled with the word that identifies the colour, even if it
was not present on the canvas, to create a picture of that colour. This
to shift the attention of the spectator from the colour itself to the
way we look at the world around us.
Finally I shifted to making
artworks composed by endless lines that enter the outline of the canvas
and then come out in a path that started physically and temporally.
A
moment before entering the canvas which we can describe as invisible
and unknown, then we enter the space of the canvas and finally we move
out towards an invisible and unknown beyond.
The space of the
canvas is the telescope, the spyglass through which we look outside
ourselves. The lines represent the world outside of us which is made up
of everything.
These lines enter at a given moment in the
viewfinder of the telescope, entering the canvas with their paths and
then leaving it.
On the canvas the artist also paper cuts which
are strongly representative images of the moment to reinforce the idea
of how events continually overlap in the world but we remain and we only
know what enters our canvas and our spyglass.
