“Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita mi ritrovai
per una selva oscura...” the inner research is like to walk in a dark
dense forest, without many paths, with sudden dangers and great
wonderful surprises…
In my paintings I draw inspiration from the symbols
and mental maps that I trace during the sessions as a
psychoanalyst: worksheets full of signs that summarize the infinite complexity
of our inner life.
In the background I express through the colors the
quality of the emotional atmosphere and the context, above I write,
with barely legible calligraphy, the entire contents of the sessions, and
finally I trace the mental map with all the symbols and
connections between elements.
This is a diptych because it express two
different stage of the inner research: at the beginning the path
pretty is undefined, there are few visible trails, many possibilities but none
clear, in the second the research becomes more precise and take a direction. If
we look closely at the symbols, the meaning becomes clear: everything is
written, painted, drawn on this canvasses…
