WHAT IS TIMELESSART?
"Timelessart" is the definition and the guiding line of all my artworks where the concept of time is interpreted and expressed in a very personal artistic way.
The rediscovery of the family photographic archive brings back lost memories that I try to bring back to life so as not to forget. Here all the artworks are transformed into a journey into memory with the aim of finding a connection between past and present and creating a meeting point, a new time, "suspended" as I define and where the past comes back to life.
Every character, woman and man represented in the artworks is or it has been a person who truly existed. Each ot them will whisper a life story that really lived or partially imaginated one.
" MAN IN FRAC"
Inauguration of the symphonic season at the Royal Albert Hall in London
The artwork is unique. It's mounted on suspension with wodden frame without glass.
The technique used for the realization of the artworks is the result of a laborious creative and manual process.
The starting point of each artwork is the selection and recovery of old photographic images on which fragments of other images or paintings belonging to the avant-garde currents of the early 1900s are digitally superimposed: Cubism, Futurism, Surrealism and Dadaism.
This first creative and superimposing phase leads to the creation of "photographic paintings", similar to avant-garde-inspired collages and in which geometric lines are mixed with profiles of men and women who seem to re-emerge from the past.
Then follows a complex manual phase where the image is transferred and fixed on 100% cotton Arches paper (produced since 1492) of different weights and finishes, with a long procedure based on repeated fixing, washing and drying phases.
The final impression is that of being in front of a watercolor, with multiple shades of color but which is instead the result of a repeated washing and shading procedure operated by the hands of the artist without any pictorial intervention.
The paper thus comes to life in the colors and in the image represented, creating a unique work, a "photographic picture" as the artist likes to define it.
