The Linearity Project
The juxtaposition and interaction of two different images that, when correlating, change their visual properties bound by causality and effect.
I observe human expressions and focus on our ability to communicate non-verbally and connect with the environment in different ways.
I attempt such an expressive non-verbal connection by deconstructing the visual properties of the form through an approach that leads to polymorphic hybrid combinations. In this search for visual dialogues, the form incorporates in its structure a variety of visual forms that are called to co-exist visually within it.

This piece is a timetable. The concept of time here is associated with repetition and rhythm, waiting and anticipation. With the need to change a situation that you feel is being repeated like a vicious circle.
The Rejection, 2020
Acrylic on canvas, 150 x 100 x 3 cm
The artwork is inspired from Bernini’s “The Rape of Proserpina” and it is a comment on the actual social distancing as a covid effect.
It is a part of a series of two artworks, the first called “The Desperate Hug” and this called “The Rejection” that both form two contrasted ways of human connection based on different social conditions.
The Desperate Hug, 2020
Acrylic on canvas, 150 x 100 x 3 cm
The artwork is inspired from a journal article on a story of a special hug between mother and daughter during the pandemic time. The daughter is totally covered with a sheet in order to protect her mother from virus infection because she is a covid nurse. It is a part of a series of two artworks, one called “The rejection” and this called “The Desperate hug” that both comment two contrasted ways of human connection based on different social conditions.

Unmodified species (2019)
Acrylic on canvas, 100 x 120 x 3 cm
I am excited by exploring the human expression and the face’s ability to communicate ideas and to connect with the environment in different ways. My intent is to deconstruct the optical qualities with the purpose to reconstruct them through a puzzle-like approach. Focusing on the optical properties of color and form opens for me the way for innumerable combinations. In such a search of new compositional dialogues, the human expression integrates in its structure additional graphic aspects, inspired by the nature of organic elements. In its “imperfect” visual image, the entity becomes an object and subject at the same time.
The two parts of the work, form and background, are reversed by a powerful transition in the horizontal axis.
Study on the plastic action of colour. The narrower stripes gain in brightness.
The harsher limits on the right side indicate distance and separation.
The soft “flatness” on the left side is transformed into a strong directionality towards the right.
Mind – Body – Environment I & II (2020)
Acrylic on canvas, 80 x 80 x 3 cm (each)
The works are color studies attempting to add representation in order to examine the perceptual function of color in a comparison with a representational form. The two studies explore the representational form as the absence (I) or the extension (II) of the background.
