Dumbo New York City

Concept

I never attended art school, my life has always been marked by the dualism between artistic
creativity and entrepreneurial skills. I consider myself a self-taught, and as such I have always
sought autonomy in my way.
I am a realist artist and as such I paint scenes of everyday life, scenes from my time. In any way, I
leave a testimony of my passage. The idea is to capture the vital breath of the city through the flow
of people's life on the streets. So to speak, our paths have crossed and mutually changed their
course. With my paintings, I tell the beginning of a story, leaving as always to the viewer, the
freedom to imagine the continuation according to his own experience.
By doing this I always try to balance the two forces that lead me to paint: the first one marked
realism the other to a more conceptual simplification of traits.
My whole paintings completely reflect the dualism between this two forces. The color shades in
steps as level curves of a map has a precise meaning. Here comes what I call "sampled realism".
At first view, when you look at my paintings, you can have an almost realistic impact, but at more
attentively watch you can appreciate all the losses defined by the different colors between the
curves. It is a bit of a metaphor for the modern digital life. Day by day we lose some pieces that we
feel worthless, anyway absently we can't perceive this loss. These gaps represent not just the
shortcomings of our lives, but at the same time give us the opportunity to build a new reality
reformulated on our knowledge and experience.
