series: BEGINNINGS
Tempo is a premonitory work, started at the age of 20 and finished 12 years after the beginning of the work. For more than 10 years, the desire never to have to depend economically on what I wanted to remain totally free from "conditioning" made me become completely absorbed in work.
The clock set on the 18th day, my birth date, at 8:05, my time of birth, is the metaphor of my life. The man devouring the book represents the thirst for culture and the empty canvas that for 12 long years awaited my return.
Oil on canvas size: 70X90 years 1982/1994.

series: DISAGI
We often meet rich but unhappy people, other times we happen to meet people who live with the bare minimum and yet are happy.
Everything material you can acquire (gold, jewels, expensive cars) will be like soap bubbles for your happiness; the moment you have them in your hands, you will realize they will not give you the happiness you hoped for.
Hands like telescopes but the lack of eyes, the presence outside of these soap bubbles is meant to metaphorically represent the futility of searching outside oneself.

Even as a child, my gaze was lost somewhere in the past or the future, places that if they existed or will exist, no one ever knows, not even me.

series; TROMPE L'OEIL I have created many Trompe l'oeil works, I am fascinated by surprising the viewer with objects or figures that suddenly materialize on the home wall. Very impactful, the important thing is not to be banal.

series: INVISIBLE ENERGIES Already in the title the provocation is evident, intended as provoking a positive attitude in the viewer, the desire of the viewer to seek form in what apparently is informal, it leads them to look at the work with their own eyes and they will discover things that are theirs and not mine.
No matter how much you study, you will never understand contemporary art if you don't put something of yourself into it. When faced with contemporary works, the gaze of the child without preconceptions that surely still lives within you will help you and will let you enjoy emotions you had forgotten.
Enjoy the viewing.

series: the worlds imprisoned by OSB boards. There was on the board a small face looking at the sky and a small one looking at the ground, the connection was immediate and automatic, those who for millennia continued to believe in the dogma and those who instead continued to look with their own eyes to expose the lie.
