A work of art is not only lights and shadows, volumes and colours.It's an universe composed of thousand special features. To learn to be an artist, it means to enter this universe, aknowledging all its multifaceted innermost recesses. Giorgio Strehler Education: this is the hardest matter. Above all, an artist's education. Even those who seriously are concerned about it, grab the obvious: very few can get to the root of the problem and begin to create. We hang on to techniques, because we fear life, we're afraid of uncertainties. Paul Klee Artists, curious beings by nature, have always tended to experience different ways of working, and have tried new techniques and technologies, from stills to animated images, film or video, and finally computers. Each artist makes a different use of such technologies, studies them, accepts or refuses them, but always tries them.
I'm convinced that a true work of art is such because of its uniqueness, which is the reason why I rework all images coming from the digital world. Sometimes, though, I've been asked to work for performances, film or video, installations or VR, all made for the screen. I think of this as a different art form, which I like to explore, always trying to bend it to my own needs. That is why I like to create different kinds of artworks, multifaceted, which are in the same way based on new technologies and very old techniques and materials, like pigments and oil, canvas, silk, iron or wood or even steel, mixing the screen's brightness to the sensual feeling of fabrics. Sound and no-sound, Reflected light and living one. The possibility to bend, twist, give life and stir these luminous bits, which ask for nothing but an artist to do it. |
