Texture is imperfection, is humanity, is feeling...is everything!





My fellow losers!

A leitmotif of my output is the fascination for Imperfection, that I summarize with the phrase "I'm Imperfect, therefore I am". In my works there's always a mixed sense of perfection and imperfection, you can glimpse scratches, dust, lines and textures that make the artwork human and honest, a thin interaction between sharp and blurred lines that communicates emotional pathos and charm. The dramatic game between faded and crisp tones it's the contradiction of us, of our human nature, it's the sense of mystery the surrounds the piece. It's only by embracing imperfection, our imperfection, that we can start to understand ourselves and our neighbour. My paintings, with their imperfect harmony are traces of a human hand, into a human soul. In the computer age, made of mechanical calculations, I look back to craftsmanship to discover our essence, our idea. Hand-made pictures, out from an imperfect and unique hand, into the perfection of scanners and computers, smarthphones and ebooks, can create a beautiful and modern artistic alchemy. An imperfect person doesn't necessarily make a world imperfect, on the contrary, parading our flaws is questioning, is challenging our society by exploring the boundaries, is accepting the possibility of an another path, is the possibility of making mistakes and giving a second chance...and maybe, maybe making this world better, not perfect...
