About

Exceeding the conditions of the material and materiality, I started to play with forms, respecting the logic of the vivid, intending to bring to life each and every piece of work, but life within the proper meaning of this term. Details and textures are taken from the vivid and real world, in order to arrange them in a nonanthropomorphic assembly. My intention is to assign to objects and shapes, aesthetic qualities that give them an inexplicable existence due to the illusion of life that I create. The vivid and its rules are canons that singularize these pieces of work, but the forms of the vivid have no limits in my mind, I try to expand and release the hyperrealist current from the handcuffs of the figurative and through my PhD research to assign it new nonanthropomorphic mass. My attempts were at the same time also empirical researches, each time I came across new challenges, that were becoming larger and more complex.
