Tips for Styling a Coffee Table Painting

I am a visual artist and an architect based in Rome. My paintings are either entirely abstract or loosely figurative. I attempt through the use of color, of texture and layering, collage and, most importantly, line, to capture the naiveté I see in my daily life. There's nothing quite as beautiful as the unintentional. Bright colors and dark, brisk lines reflecting the moods of children - tucked into my still lifes are images associated with childhood; Either way, a concealed compulsion for balance (of weights/ shapes) delineates my paintings from those of a child. Both the innocent associations of youth and the equilibrium of maturation are bluntly juxtaposed, and seek to find unity inside my works.
