Pesca di Luce

Concept

My art begins in childhood memories, with colorful ballerinas drawn with chalk on the blackboard, dancing in hourglass shapes as if they were animated by a breath of life. These early moments of wonder have shaped my approach to art: a dance of colors and shapes that evolve and come alive each time a gaze rests on my works.

In my artistic practice, I strive to capture the ephemeral and the eternal, the fleeting moment that nevertheless leaves a lasting impression. My works are dynamic, designed to be consumed quickly with the eyes, but with a visual aftertaste that persists, changing and evolving with each observation.

The colors in my paintings are not just pigments applied to a canvas, but rather an emotional language that speaks directly to the soul. Like Antonino Puliafico, I find that artistic energy is something visceral that emerges from within. It's not a controlled process, but rather a spontaneous flow that guides my hand until the painting declares itself complete.

I use oil and acrylic colors, applied with spatulas and brushes, in a play of textures and tones reminiscent of the Fauvist and Impressionist movements. My art is an exploration of freedom, a journey through my personal perception of the world, where colors dance and tell stories of emotions, moments, dreams.

In my work, I invite the viewer to pause, contemplate, and discover that each piece is an ongoing dialogue between me and my audience. Each piece is an invitation to explore, to feel, to experience art with the same passion and intensity with which it was created.
