ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I created this work on a canvas, treated it with the basic colour sugar paper blue, traced the outline of the painting with chalk and only then began to paint with oil colours. I use oil colour by superimposing many very thin layers of appropriately diluted colour to create the effects I want. I depicted an old aluminium kettle hanging from a nail on the wall. The kettle is in a different space, it is in the memory . The tools my grandmother used when I was a child were made of aluminium and when they were no longer needed for their intended purpose, she would use them in the vegetable garden and it all seemed like magic to me... and in my opinion it really was, nothing was wasted and everything could have a second life. SOSPESI (SUSPENDED) is the new series that I started painting in 2022, with which I wish to reflect on the suspended moments that life places before us and, through art, to overcome the barrier of time, to give value to each instant. The work does not have a frame to create even more of a sense of freedom. The work is signed on the front and back and will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. for shipment outside the EU it is necessary to wait for authorisation from the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and this may entail a delay of a few days

I was born in Parma, Italy's little Paris, and ever since I was a child I loved spending my afternoons among tempera and brushes, experimenting with my creativity on stones and walls. The inspiration and desire to paint was great, so for six months I attended a drawing course with Maestro Gianni Melegari. His teachings helped me perfect myself and find my way, which I built on rigour and constant commitment. In 1999 came my first major solo exhibition entitled I mnemagoghi, or 'memory arousers'. Memories with immense evocative power were the real protagonists of this artistic series of mine. I subsequently collaborated with several art galleries until, in 2004, the San Lorenzo Art House chose me to do a cultural exchange with a group of US artists. In the summer of that same year, I left for Miami where I had the honour of being present at the Art Center and participating in the group exhibition inspired by the city. My artistic research never stopped and, in September 2009, at the Eleonora D'Andrea Contemporanea Gallery, I presented the series ...A nudo in which I stripped my art and investigated the concept of inner beauty. That event was a success and, a month later, my installation arrived at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Lucca. Over the years my way of making art has changed a lot, but what has always remained constant is the modus operandi. I use an ancient technique, that of oil painting, and I treat my works in every part, starting with the construction of the support. I highlight the parts of the painting that serve me to express the message I want and leave others incomplete to give free interpretation to those who observe them. My free and constantly evolving art gives birth to works pervaded by an original and intense poetics that, between silence and energy, I dedicate to the power of life. I never strive for perfection: it is the depiction of tensions and details rich in material touches that gives strength and meaning to my compositions. I like to work with themes, even very different ones, in which I put my whole self in order to stimulate my imagination and that of the observer without reserve. Through painting I feel I can completely express myself, my inner world, my fears, my dreams.
