The research and excavation, that results in the exaltation of lines and colors and brightness of the volumes, is expressed in the representations and highly significant issues that require the user a particular reflection. Browsing through the many images, the eye is captured by visions and dreams of surrealist paintings, by the force of the sensational and provocative sculptures, from the ductus precise and clear drawings, sketches from the immediacy of expression. The works represent a synthesis of ideas of a religious, political, social, with an eye to the value of the contrasts, the seduction of modernity, the phenomena of corruption and moral degradation.

World Expo

 

 

 

The painting

" World Expo" is a reflection of the artist to ecological background.At the center of the canvas, framed by jambs of a window, stands rigidly frontal, a male figure. The man appears to the observer, as a mysterious and impenetrable figure, elegantly dressed in a suit and tie.The head, symbolizing the world, is being torn apart by a missile exploded by a crashed airplane.Eyes fixed and dilated, his mouth tight with a tongue of ice, bleeding wounds, from which they draw sustenance two leeches, the wreckage, the chimneys smoke in shock the viewer and draw him into a timeless dimension dominated and hostile by an oppressive silence.Behind him, a mysterious presence, inscrutable, a man without a face, like a deus ex machina, which merges with the sky and looks down at the bottom of the silent devastation that takes place in the eyes of the beholder.In the foreground, a desert area punctuated by hills and crossed by a steaming flood of murky waters and dark.The subject is built by antithesis of form and appearance: the flat desert contrasted with two roads, the natural landscape of hills-l'artificio, lack of life-the swarm of leeches on the march, the clarity of light crystal-clear air and the gray clouds of serious toxic fumes, all'azzuro sky-black leachate.The painting suggests thoughts of great topical interest: respect for the environment, the abuse practiced by white collar, the systems of oppression elusive, the inability to expose the oppression and denounce violence.

Seduction of progress

 

The eye is captured by surrealist visions and dreams...

A comparison of visions

 

The vision is imprisoned, the ductus precise and clear drawings, sketches from the immediacy of expression...

Personification of a city

 

The works represent a synthesis of ideas of a religious, political, social, with an eye to the value of the contrasts, the seduction of modernity...
