Few things in the world have the poetry of the roofs of Paris. It isn't the same thing watching it by the Eiffel Tower or the views of the Sacre Coeur. To truly savor the magic, you have to experience the unique atmosphere drag on the top floor of some building and lean over a balcony ... told in this way the vision is immersed in an atmosphere of romance sugary that completely betrays the true beauty of the roofs of Paris.
Nicola Villa with his sign and his scathing disenchanted has the power to convey the essence - the shape, smell, taste - of that series so special walls, tiles and windows.
Villa has the ability to represent the soul of the city without reproducing holographic images only good for postcards to sell to tourists.His journey began from the streets of Harlem populated by a diverse life stile and stories. Dropped passes along the old wharves of the port of Genoa, where he chose to live and work because there is an urban and Mediterranean inspired his art and, between sessions and the other painting, can go fishing, the His great passion.
It arrives in Paris, safe haven for sailors without a goal and a must for artists of all backgrounds, with the desire and ambition, perhaps naive, or perhaps utopian, to look at it and interpret it with new eyes.
Villa takes us to places known by indicating new views and suggesting a new way of observing them.
You go from the Place de la Bastille in Montmartre, where thousands of people pass every day, Parisians and tourists, workers and idlers, French doc and sans-papiers. These steps are human and even before the physical space to interest the artist who presents us with a multi-ethnic and multicultural city, lively and contemporary.
