ESSENCES/ABSENCES
This project of mine investigates the close relationship between the landscape perceived as a subject and its abstract transposition of an interior state.
In this, the work wants to give and receive,
to give an idea that, elaborated by the observer, refers it as an “experience” as an “effect” of that perceived sensation.
Do I represent landscapes? Maybe yes, or maybe it is better to define them as open or closed spaces, present or erased, visible or hidden.
The lines and the stains, while partially erasing the figuration, give life to a more complex image as it is aimed at the intimate experience of the subject in favor of a dense emission for those who enjoy it.
The lumps of dense and often dark color can form cracks, dissolve, be invasive, even dissonant, presences that take over the naturalistic space of the landscape, even if not entirely devoted to figuration. The purpose of these presences is to exalt the resilient force of light, perhaps the true and only subject of these works, which manages to shine through, to pierce the blanket of shadow-residues that contrast its albeit veiled luminous nature.
