My artworks (photographic collage) combine mannequin hands, geometrical shapes, facial, natural and architectural details, wall patterns.  Several planes interweave in them: the dimension of Onereic and Subconscious thoughts, the mysterious complexity of identity, memory and desire.
Through the fragmentation and deconstruction of objects and details, I intend to create an hypnotic, emotional suggestion which lead the viewer to see the surreal mystery hidden behind the images: the known becomes unknown, the ordinary extraordinary. My artworks intend to highlight the search for a new form of subjectivity.



"From Inside"

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS TO ARTCONNECT MAGAZINE: DIGITAL MEDIA

The series of images (collage, photographs) aims to explore the creative possibilities of virtuality through digital manipulation. My aesthetic research is oriented towards exploring the line between experimental photography and abstract painting. 

Through lines, manipulation of colours and composition, I want to create an hypnotic, emotional suggestion which lead the viewer to see the surreal mystery hidden behind the images which are intented as simulacra. The external space becomes an inner universe where the eye is the director and the protagonist of a mysterious adventure.
Phenomenological world is transfigured into a visionary, enigmatic and multi-faceted dream. My art aims to cross the boundary between artificial and natural, questioning what is real and what is not and creating a new reality where there are no limits or definitions, but just phenomena: mergers, collisions, enchantments. 
The result is a concretion of visual microcosmoses similar to psychic landscapes. The modified image reveals the atmosphere of an emotion, fragments of the psychic universe. They emerge in a magical encounter between randomness and will, invisibility and concreteness inside the digital networking sphere.

All images are digitally edited and manipulated through digital applications to achieve a pictorial quality.
 



"Virtual Utopias"

"Alive as a lactescent rose" is a photographic project that aims to investigate the universal, magical and mysterious emotion of feeling alive.
All the photographs were taken in my neighborhood and on the balcony during the quarantine.
They depict flowers, hands with gloves that caress them, an enchanted, suspended, strange but ardently desired spring.
It's a visual, solitary diary of epiphanies on an ordinary day.

The desire for human contact, tenderness and beauty is the core of my aesthetic research.

Existence happens to us and for us as a primordial phenomenon of sublime mystery. 
Nature speaks to us and communicates its lyricism. Self-isolation is an invaluable opportunity of reflection and introspection. The temporary loss of others and consequently of pieces of ourselves is experienced as a trauma. But time and space cannot have the power to separate us and nature can help us. 
It became necessary to transform a frustrating impotence into visionary power, absence in presence, apathy in pathos. 
And now, more than ever, we need to see the extraordinary in the ordinary in order to develop a connection, perhaps even deeper than before, with others and with ourselves. We have to take care of us. We have to see the essential and
to dance with our "daimon". 

We are as lactescent, isolated roses on a wall at night, so delicate and fragile. 
And so secretly bright, radianting dreams of life.
