High C Painting

My name is Floriano Guizzardi, I' m Italian but actually I live in Chile. I've traveled a lot in my life, working as a fencing coach. I had the chances to know the different cultures of south America and East Asia, such as Philippines and Japan, in which I could find some interest for my work. I started painting when i was really young, in the studio of an Italian abstract painter, Benito Tomezzoli, who actually didn't teach me anything, just let me play with colours and doing whatever i want. Later, when i was twenty years old, i frequented some other painters studios, in which i learned that there isn't a general way of painting, but just the way that fits with you. I' ve studied literature, cinema, frequented philosophy, did a lot of works for living. My painting starts from considerations about the cinematographic image, most of all from noir movies of '40, '50 years of the last century. I reproduce it, take it out from its contest and then try to see what can happen. I have a meditative attitude, so i don't really know how my paint will finish; there is a sort of conflict between the well composed image and the rest which comes out from scratching, erasing, deleting until something comes out which can be in relation with the image.
