(Artist Statement)

My last work is about time which I have analysed in two ways. First of all, through the choice of subjects, taken from old photos and visually translated into oil and acrylic (even if partly censored by perspective breakthroughs). These breakthroughs trace the characters’ silhouettes and open a kind of window on the image, intended as an archetypal idea of time, made up of stars, galaxies and black holes. Secondly, the temporal dimension emerges from the material used, i.e. the ?r tree wood, whose veins mark the passing of the years in life.
