"Painting is a blind profession: one does not paint what he sees, but what he feels, what he tells himself about what he has seen." (Pablo Picasso)
Starting from the idea that every artist is, and represents all his work, it is immediately clear, looking at Luciano's paintings, that the world around us appears to be the essential guiding thread of his research.
Thus in his images, in the succession of men and women, of friends, of children who soar in environments known to us and newspapers, we find broken photographs of our own life. A painter, therefore, of the reality of our days, which inexorably places us before our strengths and weaknesses, on our way of facing the days traveling on subways or walking on a road, perhaps taking our children on the carousel or running in a meadow to be able to enjoy fun as simple as the past, like making soap bubbles.
But we must not think of the slavish and photographic repetition of what surrounds us and this is also true in graphic production, which is more attentive and measured but structurally full, and which never becomes ordinary in the recurrent presentation of female figures.
His research, however, goes beyond and makes, of transparencies and abstract intersections, his strength to emerge and get out of what could only become a transposition of our behaviors and how they influence our actions.
Here are the bright colors, the red, the blue, which are highlighted and strike the eye, creating suggestions and promiscuity between what represents reality and the dream.
Here again are the chromatic inlays that fragment the figure and transform it graphically into a personal vision of the surrounding which, while intimately linked to the stereotypes that characterize us, takes on a more dreamlike and intimate life of its own.
Finally, here is the compositional structure of the painting that leaves nothing to chance, which links characters and shades of color to reach a whole with a strong visual and intimate impact.
Looking at these works, we feel ourselves in expressive affinity with the author, whose interest in the nature of the human soul and his curiosity in investigating him deeply, to draw and understand his illnesses and that hidden sense of powerlessness are appreciated. haunts us daily. His painting therefore shows us a path, a way to interpret and reason about ourselves and our lives, to make them free from conditioning and homologation of society and to free us from useless daily burdens.
