I Am Star

Concept

Piriongo is an instinctive artist born in 1975. He moves eclectically in a dreamlike landscape with infinite potential, in scenarios where real and surreal tend to converge and, with a high aesthetic sensitivity, he weaves scenarios capable of enveloping the viewer with the graphic suggestions of characters and fantastic, colorful, holographic, flowing worlds.

His drawings are surreal and dreamlike, they propose emotional and intellectual provocations on unprecedented aspects of reality. It is always an emotion that drives him to create; once an emotion has taken a shape, then he finds its content, underlines it, highlights it, turns around it with colors.

He creates works in which there are a wide range of colors and a dynamism of forms and subjects.
The subjects are characterized by wings, halos, crowns, expression of the so-called “Fallen Angel World”, the angels fallen from Paradise. The crown represents the ascent, the creative and spiritual balance. They become the essence of neutrality, they see the world with calm and rationality, closed in their introverted and shy characters and at the same time they are trivialised in an ironic way.
Interesting is his connection to Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Basquiat recognizable precisely in the proximity and similarity of his ideas regarding the meaning of Art and Pop-Art. Three personalities, three different and complementary voices that express a whole new conception of art. He turns the images, solarizes them, obtaining the different chromatic variations.
Piriongo in his artistic project almost seems to want to inherit their art, a symptom of a strong aesthetic sympathy and a profound communion of intentions. The works are found in many private collections in Italy, France, Belgium, Switzerland, The Netherlands.
