PROJECT TITLE FOR SEMINARSOGNINTERRA23
OF MILK.

How important is the past for imagining and building the future?
Awareness of roots, knowledge of history and the past is fundamental to creating something new and building a better future. Memory is the mother of all arts.

What are the elements you would like to/and work on further?
Space, light, the transformation of things.

Tell me more about the work for Seminaria.
The work consists of the installation of large pictorial sheets, suspended in the architecture of the village and, is inspired by the Madonnas of Milk, symbol of Maranola, discovered numerous and layered in the crypt of the church of St. Luke. A re-enactment of the ancient cult and a renewal of hope.

A project you haven’t been able to do, but would like to do?
An immersive project, inspired by the Water Lilies of Monet, the painter of becoming. A painting to be immersed in, enveloping all the senses.

Labile contours and fluidity are topós within your research, an attempt to represent what is continually in flux, how much does this visual metaphor mirror reality? How do they influence you and what subjects do you bring back into your “fluid spaces”?
The search for a liquid pictorial and mental dimension is a metaphor for our vital condition and reality, perceived in its mutability. Art for me is a river, a flow, like life, constantly changing. The subjects are liquid figures and bodies, in which the contours escape and the image transforms, to become something else.
