The dangerous volcanic lava is enclosed in a square,
keeping its wild nature from causing catastrophic events.
The picture comes out as 12th in a series of paintings called TREDISMO, a technique
that I have experimented and innovated, inspired by paintings by artists that
use a lot of relief. At the end of 2018 I started experimenting with strong
reliefs on hard panel, and in the middle of the following year I made the first
three-dimensional painting on canvas. The first painting was made with a sponge
cube. Treated sponge is ideal for canvas effect, giving soft consistency and
texture to the piece. While looking at the cube I was thinking of a name, and
the word "cubism" came to mind - but I certainly couldn't use this
name. Cubist paintings are works in two dimensions, while this painting of mine
developed in three dimensions: here was born the name TREDISMO.
LINGUA DI LAVA
Addomesticata lava vulcanica con tutta la sua
forza, chiuso in un circolo continuo, lasciando la sua bellezza e il colore
caloroso.
