This 3d collage is part of a series of 3 portraits realised using printed-paper, recycled from magazines, leaflets and catalogues , cut using a shredder machine. The creating process of this work is different from the other previous pieces of the same set. The stripes of paper have been glued on clear fishing lines fixed on a clear acrylic box frame in multiple layers following a geometric pattern and creating a 3d effect. The theme, though, is the same: the impact of overload information on our identity. We live in a very complex society where everything is in a permanent state of flux. Everyday we are overwhelmed by a big amount of inputs causing us disorientation and stress. The aim of this piece is to find simplicity in the midst of complexity, order out of chaos. Printed-paper stripes,full of texts and messages, have been overlapped and interlaced to form an intricate pattern. A closer look reveals thousands of fragments, words, faces and colours, that create a complex abstract image but, from afar, it looks like a simple image of a lovely woman. The mathematical principles embedded in the geometric pattern has the psychological effect to mitigate the sense of chaos generated by the complex texture of the work. As someone once wrote: “In the midst of order, there is chaos; but in the midst of chaos, there is order”. A clear acrylic plastic box frame protect this work. It is ready to be hung up.

Italy
I am an anglo-italian artist based in Italy. I create art across the digital and physical realms exploring the concept of ‘Identity’ using different media, from 3d physical paper collage portraits to NFTs avatars (ed. The Other Avatars first NFTs Saatchi Art project). Art and Creativity have always been a form of escapism and survival for me, a kind of virtual world where to find peace. The Virtual/Digital and the Real/Physical are part of my practice. The main material for my physical works is usually recycled paper that I repurpose from magazines, books, catalogues etc.. Paper is a very interesting and complex material in itself, but it becomes more intriguing when printed, as it turns into a binder of messages. Having been trained as an architect, I can’t help myself from planning each of my works. I have developed different techniques and I like to choose the one that intuitively attracts me in that moment, to balance the other very rational approach to planning. The subjects of my works are often chosen around the topic of identity, including its continuous transformation, its intangibility and its cryptic nature. My choice of people as subjects - either ordinary or celebrities - is aimed at exploring the inadequacy of a portrait to describe that person. With an image, it is possible to fix only a fragment of the complex nature of their identity. Printed-paper steeped with fragmented messages is, therefore, the perfect medium to represent this complex, fragile and ungraspable nature. Using everyday objects such as paper, I also want people to investigate into our consumerist society where we conceive our goals in life through acquiring goods that we do not need and where our identity is defined by what we buy and exhibit. Like our identities, my portraits are fluid and mobile, and our perception of them changes as we move around them. From up close, the subjects become abstract compositions, making the viewer engage with matters beyond what is immediately visible, and through this I try to raise public awareness about other issues relating to our environment, our privacy and the complex notion of time too.
