“This is my joie de vivre: discovering everyday what I like through my painting ”.
[W. De Kooning]

What interests me in my pictorial work is the investigation of the urban and natural landscape: every space that fascinates me becomes the starting point of my research. For me, painting means continually discovering my subject, until it reveals itself: it is a process of knowledge that crosses its structure, until it goes beyond it, to return a lyrical image. This image is the result of a transformation: only the silhouettes of the snow and the profiles of the rocks remain of the mountain, cut out, isolated and then superimposed on each other with the qualities of different signs. The picture is the result of temporally distant stratifications, in which each draft contradicts the previous one. The vision and memory of the landscape give life to an immaterial and abstract space, in which the colors are now saturated and strident, now canceled out in grey. My artistic practice takes place mainly on two dimensions, especially on paper and fabrics, as well as on less traditional supports (acetate). The research on the theme crosses the various graphic (graphite, pastels, ecoline) and pictorial (acrylic, pigments) techniques and a large scale of formats, often resulting in pictorial installations, in which the setting becomes an integral part of the work.
