She demanded, pushing (n.578) - Dolls series

Concept

I love to paint abstract landscapes but in the last few years, I was been fascinated with portraits - whether an abstract subject or a real one.

Painting is locking in the exact moment, so mine paintings are often a faded memory or something erased from time. Sometimes the objects of mine paintings are glimpses of walls that are eroded by time, with moss and mushrooms that grow over time.

The time that passes inexorably is the main theme of my work.

Thanks to mine background with sculptures, I'm familiar with the third dimension and the sense of touch. I applie these to mine paintings, which are characterized by touches that are wellperceived to the naked eye.

In my last works I'm using a mine own technique recycling office paper and day life paper such as bills, receipts, invoices, financial statements, Tax collection folders, business plans, magazines.
This shredded paper become an artwork.

During the compulsory quarantine due to COVID-19, having finished all the supplies of A4 paper to be recycled, I started shredding all the paper in the house considered (clean) waste.
Thus the latest works have a greater consistency and materiality due to the presence of less delicate paper than the simple A4 sheet.
The wrapping paper present in the products purchased and consumed in daily life, reappears in another form, avoiding landfill: containers of pasta, flour, cans of tuna, toothpaste, drugs, ice cream, advertising flyers... all papers I transform in art doing my little part to save the world :)))
