Biografia
My artistic engagement has since 2000 recurrently stretched out from the pictorial field, which, following his early figurative art, was more and more characterized by sensual colours and unusual materials, into actual space and objective reality. Spatial installations embrace objects from everyday life, organic materials, which are then transfigured into meaning-charged objects that broadly address the spectator by way of their associative power. The expressive nature of the matter is put forward through the active and concrete exploration of new substances of heterogeneous origins that are atypical to traditional fine art. These substances, even before being included in the artistic process, carry within themselves a rich psychological, existential and cultural content: they are rough metaphors of their earthly existence, carriers of memories of past experiences now transposed into the space of depiction where they undergo a process of transformation, acquiring, through emotional reading, a new meaning conferred upon them by the artist’s sensibility. Wood, copper, plastic, leather, skillfully worked and fused into new poetical wholes, are displayed throughout the space. As a solemn expression of experiences co-created by individual elements, they outstretch the limits of the given spatial framework. A composed, palimpsestic visual image/scene becomes a ritual stage where a cyclic offering of life and “tasting” are performed through the intermediary of uncommon “objects-stations” that feed subjectivity, acquainting it with its own reality
