More about this Artwork

“Valzer Tra Sogno & Realtà” is a painting that belongs to my series, Full Circle.

From the first stroke to the swirls, the ribbons and all other elements that are the defining signature in my art practice, this piece felt like a dance. I loved working on it so very much. It was effortless, from the preliminary brushstrokes with square edge brushes and sponges to the myriad of minute details in the background, layered on the “broken” brush textures, intentionally filling each part of the artwork. I recently came to the realisation that my whole practice and work stem from a great need to see and “consume” texture, in all sorts and shades. I am so drawn to creating aesthetically pleasing textures that often times that craving takes over everything and you’ll find me absolutely lost run repetitive, extensive work until the need for my eyes to feed on a particular texture has been satisfied.

“Valzer Tra Sogno & Realtà” was no different other than in one painting alone I get to celebrate most textures that I love and by doing so achieving all sorts of colours. This piece feels so colourful and rich, and yet so peaceful, serene and joyful, like a waltz. The title of this artwork in Italian means “Waltz Between Dream & Reality”: I always find in my art that I paint the world that is most precious to me and when I do, it is such a captivating, mesmerising and entrancing experience that it feels like daydreaming. It is like being present in your absence. And so it is here, in this imaginary place that I dwell, in a place that only exists in my mind and yet is so very real. Is it really that absurd to think that in my abstractions I am painting my reality?

Picasso said, “Everything you can imagine is real”.

Valzer Tra Sogno & Realtà

Intricate & One of A Kind Art

Intuitive, Yet Intentional

I step into my artworks and leave the rest of the world behind. I enjoy a process that is meditative and intuitive, where the art comes to me spontaneously, naturally and it translates organically into shapes and compositions. Whether by the use of lines, shapes or dots, my art is a an act of surrender, of abandonment of oneself to the soothing and self-annihilating power of infinite repetition. It is an harmonious and balanced dance between the art of letting go and the intentionality of discipline, commitment and pure devotion to serve the gift that is my art.

One of A Kind & Original

My art has always revolved around the process and the ability to create something remarkable with tools such as ink, pens and brushes on museum-grade paper. It is the challenge of working with simple materials to achieve mastery one of the many driving factors in my art practice. Simplicity through complexity and intricacy. Clarity through organised chaos. Every artwork, whilst connected to the previous and the next, similar in nature and yet different, is unique. It is irreplicable: a distinctive and special journey that flourishes from a never-ending source of love.

Professionally Framed

Have you ever stood in front of an artwork and all you could see was your reflection? I have. Though it may seem a rather silly component, the glass that sits between your eye and the artwork it protects, is crucially important and it is why I choose to frame all my art with museum, non-reflective glass (with 70% UV protection) that looks as if it were not there at all. Alongside fully archival framing materials, non-reflective glass is my choice, so that my collectors can see, appreciate and delight in all of the minute details, textures and 'colours' in my art, exactly the way I intended.
