About The Artwork
Winter is a strange season, in a sense. It is grey and raining for most of the time, but citrus trees are full of their colored fruits. All these orange and yellow spheres between deep-green leaves are so merry! This is a kind of natural version of the Christmas tree. Besides, citrus fruits are a symbol of Sicily, my homeland. So one day I decided to celebrate this colorful treasure of the Island I live on. My aim was to communicate freshness and joy. At the same time, this is a painting about volumes, light and textures. The interesting thing about lemons is that they can be very different from each other. Their surface can be smooth or rough, greenish or fully yellow, mat as well as waxy and bright. Another point of interest is the different texture of the fruit skin and the tree leaves. Light, in fact, goes differently on both of them. In order to describe volumes, it seemed interesting to use bare shadows against a non-descriptive background. This latter is composed by different parts. Where it is white, it seems to show a more real sense of space and weight. In the parts where colors are used, space and weight seem to lose their importance, and the concept of joy plays a leading role. The union of white and colored parts evokes a sense of freshness. 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.
