watercolours, oil on canvas, acrilic and spray
My language is based on a strong expressionist component, which mediate and amplify the ritual of gesture taken from a more productive istinct, manifesting strongly through pictorical sign.
It charges itself with the rappresentation of evident social "facts": war, pollution, the imagine cult, bioetic, presenting them in a simbolic way, where the protagonists are expecially colours and the exact means showing them as protagonist. So, researching, develops from an interior appropriation to a direct gestual externation, also violent, offering the worrisomes of present time obsessing us and put in evidence by my tools, as spray or synthetic enamel, themselves products of that business considered a symbol of “weelbeing”.
There are works made by spray, enamels,
acrylics
and oils where the sign and the mimic take us to beginning creation of the 'symbol' as last border in human communication and sometimes it ambivalently brings opposite meanings.
If the symbol isn't more effective than abstract word, it suggests, more than it, a complex reality to explore and search in images' forms and images…definied, real but not visible at first sight.
