Palermo – my hometown – lies in a valley which is called “Conca d’oro”, that is “golden valley”. This name refers to the huge amount of citrus trees that were cultivated here in past times. Oranges and lemons once filled this valley, that lies between the mountains and the sea, of golden colors. So, when I decided to depict an orange, it was quite natural for me to link it to gold! The golden leaf covers the entire surface of this work. Nonetheless, there is an evident difference between the right and left part of this painting. On the left, the branch of an orange tree full of blossoms lies onto a smooth background. On the right, the background is more tactile. Here the golden leaf creates many plays of light that enliven the space. All these elements create a vibrant background for the hyper-realistic painted orange on Plexiglas. Framed with wood batons – no additional framing required. Ready to hang.

Transformation, light and the mixing of old techniques with new materials play a leading role in my recent production. The main link between my works is a quest for harmony, an attempt to describe the inner – and sometimes hidden – elegance of trivial matters. Ethereal female figures inspired by ancient Myths, flowers, fruits, peacocks and other pieces of reality are depicted in my bright figurative style that recalls the great tradition of European painting, especially the analytic approach in describing reality that was typical of both Van Eyck and the Pre-Raphaelites. My strokes are normally clean and the images neat, however I sometimes focus on a specific part of a painting, especially when an unexpected element - such as a Plexiglas layer - is inserted into the composition. In this way, the incredible potentiality of oil painting flourishes through the clear lines of a feature, in opposition to the blurriness of another one. My quest towards the soul of things pushes me often toward portraiture, this wonderful game of mirrors where the individuality of the artist merges into the inner self of the model.
