ARTIST STATEMENT
My creative work spans various artistic fields such as painting, digital graphics, sculpture, generative art, photography and video art. My creativity is expressed through an energy that has its roots in the subconscious. It animates all my creations. My pictorial works arise from the need to give form to private emotional images and are interpretations whose symbolic content is in continuous dialogue between the conscious and the subconscious mind. They are acrylic compositions, both geometric-abstract and lyrical, marked by vivid, powerful colours and by a movement that penetrates the observer's soul. I analyse, investigate, delve into my inner self in search of new solutions and new techniques. My creativity is also unleashed through digital graphics and the use of the PC as a tool. My art generates a constantly changing universe, because art always follows the course of time. My digital works express the power of colour, the energy of movement and investigate themes such as silence and women's struggle for emancipation. They are landscapes of the soul and fantastic representations. I also use very special techniques, such as code writing and artificial intelligence, in order to produce unique works.
I love special photos that capture the moment and represent different moods. I have made several sculptures and artistic videos depicting my inner world.

In an
era of continuous and rapid transformations, dominated by an unprecedented
technological acceleration, the concept of art and creativity takes on a very
different meaning. Cyberspace is like the vault of heaven, on which
philosophers and astronomers once placed their symbolic representations of the
universe, in the form of constellations and zodiac signs. The net becomes a
whole new stage. And it is in this perspective of incessant change and
spasmodic proliferation that one ends up discovering and practicing the art of assemblage.
The contemporary artist feeds on global tools: he is a bit of a painter, a bit
of a graphic designer, a bit of a sculptor. A little bit more. Within the
sphere of creativity. He uses new compositional methods, new frontier
techniques that lie between art and non-art. It becomes a form of bet, of
personal research, that new technologies allow to share with others. And in all
this, every artist must constantly draws on a sort of awareness and creative
research, without which one risks ending up in the banal.
Contemporary
artists use different techniques that are conveyed within the same creation:
from painting to drawing, from photography to sculpture, they mix sound and
video. They make installations, engage in performances, interact with public and objects, share their experience on
the web. All
the elements they use can be a source of inspiration and, if properly assembled,
can produce a new art object. That must excite the viewer.
