ALL AROUND THE WORLD

These works are concerning my return to cyclical "figurative painting technique". The painting is the code to find oneself, to unravel the thread that unites the individual research to practice painting, dual need to support the new and / or abandoning the ordinary patterns. Reorganize ideas, in a vital that develops according to a project aimed between order and chaos, do and undo, to find the degree zero of its existence. The need, prompts me to the recovery of the "medieval primitivism" Siena, not for fallowing the iconology, but to recover the manual, the pretext expressive materials. Given that the cubism is availed of painting by Giotto, reading criticism of those subjects can help me regain the confidence expressive.

The novelty compared to medieval symbolic language, is to replace biblical exegesis with facts and stories of everyday contemporary society. It is likely, reverb surface golden support, creates a suspension, a vacuum, a space, which would be fulfilled only with our presence. The images and content are developed from the plethora of images from WWW, from diaries "blogs", which show the flash of collective psychology: speeches on the environment, conflicts, politics, the festival of birthdays, the search for someone with which to communicate, the denunciation of injustices.

The icons of contemporary focus on diversity of messages; pursue, in some cases right intentions, in others obviousness, often kitsch. And 'maybe this is the character and language of the new millennium? The claim is consistent, judging by the lightness of the advertising and media.
