About The Artwork
Sometimes, difference is perceived as a synonymous of incompatibility. Nonetheless, the world in which we live is radically heterogeneous, and diversity is a thing we must deal with. What is more, in most cases difference is not a problem to solve. It is instead what makes our lives rich and interesting. This idea is the starting point of "Encounters". The composition is divided into two parts. On the right side, a succulent plant is depicted. Its leaves – similar to beautiful, little roses – are painted with oil, whereas its branches are graphite-drawn. On the left there is a Plexiglas layer onto which the silver silhouette of an oil-painted iris is synthetically described. Both plants stand out from the white background, and even the color palette is a cold one. Both plants are elegant, nonetheless they are also very different from each other. Irises are ethereal flowers that live just some days. Succulent plants are generally very resistant. In some sense, they are two completely different creatures. Despite this, they harmoniously live in the same space. For me, this piece is a hymn of peace.

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.
