INTRO TO THE WORKS:
If the Renaissance is a proclamation to "seek" lessons from the past, from which to extract new light in the present, on the other hand, the Baroque is a hymn to "wonder", to the extraordinary creative and as such, timeless. These two historical examples can be fused together and well spent as teaching in the contemporary: the resulting synthesis is a RENAISSANCE-BAROQUE where "Amazement" and "Research" elevate man, through art armed with beauty. Beauty becomes man's solicitation, a vehicle for ascent, a stimulus for growth, food for thought. It is a clear invitation to "loading art": a common and essential good with which we have nourished ourselves in the past and continue to nourish ourselves today not only with our eyes ... Let us load ourselves with art, therefore; we must put art in the place it deserves, encouraging the growth of our cultural heritage, as our fathers taught us in the past.
The Baroque and the Renaissance, therefore, do not become a reference to a specific historical period, but a hymn to creativity, research, human intuition. An eternal concept, to be spent in the present. The Renaissance promoted by Lorenzo the Magnificent is just one of the glorious and brilliant historical examples of devotion to art and beauty as a means of growth. In the Renaissance, human intuition was nourished, because they were aware that it was the greatest form of investment in existence. Artistic genius was cultivated; promoting its dissemination to inspire all peoples. And it is an ever-current model, an evergreen example of acumen of extreme simplicity and practicability.
It is the creation of art, understood as a common good, to be preserved and kept alive. This is the message that my works harbor in desires. The days of physical confinement made us aware that nothing will be the same as before. And all the rebirths after the great epidemics are formal renewals, aesthetic renewals, but above all ethical; rebirth of something that is not absolutely necessary for survival, like art, but for this very reason, of extreme importance to survive. So ... LOADING ART!
PANTHEON-BACCHUS:
The Pantheon series is a contemporary and abstract tribute to that Renaissance painting practice that saw the Roman myths and gods of the Pantheon as protagonists, through the paradigms of a conceptual and eclectic pictorial sculpture, with a breath of legendary fascination linked to iconography.
The four art-works, "Bacchus", the Roman god of wine and harvest, as well as the pleasure of the senses and fun, are proposed in the colors of grapes, recalling the intertwining of the baskets of vines and the grape. They misunderstood form recalls the "Bacchanalia", unrestrained parties of the libido of ancient Rome dedicated to Bacchus, represented over and over again in the history of art.
