I’ am Italian and was born in Turin,
Italy.
When I was very young
my grandfather taught me to draw and to paint; I remember
that it was wonderful!! So I decided to start studying art.
I think that my
cultural background influenced my artwork: I studied so much
Modigliani, but I am also influenced by the works of Picasso and
Matisse...I like the Pop Art too: Andy Warhol and Keith Haring.
In my artistic journey
I want to find the answers to my questions about human nature.
The most gratifying experience for me, as an artist, is to have
the freedom to express myself and express my feelings; above
all, that is what I want to do: Communicate what I fell through
my artworks.
I don’t know where I
am going with my art, I haven't made any plans...
The Unveiled Body
The theme of
nudity embraces the whole history of art; during the centuries,
nudity acquired different meanings and became a symbol for Eros,
love and health of the body.
Today,
everything is visually controlled by the advertising messages of
the media and the nude body is used as an important tool for
communication.
In our
exhibitionist culture, sometime excessive and vulgar, the nude
is in fashion, it is no longer a taboo, but is a manifestation
of the banalized body, replicated to infinity, propagating
sterile eroticism without any sort of inclusion.
Contemporary
nudes are like holders of a “vacuum-packed” beauty.
My interest
in the nude, both male and female, lives on the threshold
between sensuality and Eros, between convention and scandal. The
body becomes a tool to unveil the pulsations of the unconscious,
through which I try to look at in a sort of enigmatic way. The
faces of some figures are not well defined, this is to try and depict an Eros without a face so that eroticism, desire
and sublimation can merge together.
My paintings
need to embrace the viewer, seduce and make him/her
feel uneasy. The nude, is a matter of life, not a robotised
individual...
