" Memories of a past life "
Oil on Canvas (35 x 50 cm)

Sometimes, memories of a past life can rise inside yourself, as blurry feelings of something your mind does not remember to have experienced, but that your spirit cannot forget.

Corpo Maschile, Opera d'Arte

" Honor of the Soul "
Oil on Canvas (40 x 30 cm)

(Inspired by the painting of F. Hayez "Samson and the Lion")

I still feel my muscles tense, blood flowing fast into my veins, my strong fist has not yet given up. I overwhelmed the wild beast but I cannot feel proud. Do you think I am the winner because I am the stronger? I did what I had to survive. There is no winner in death.

" Waves of Loves "
Oil on Canvas (50 x 70 cm)

Tramonto sul Mare

During a warm middle Summer sunset , the sky met the ocean, reflecting all the colours of the rainbow upon the water. In that moment they fell deeply in love. Afterwards the waves have softly carried every nuances of the rainbow towards the rocks, where we are, to allow us never ending love.

Cielo Primaverile

" The Dark Night of the Soul "
Oil on Canvas (40 x 120 cm)

It's Spring but I cannot smell it. Dark skies and threatening clouds are coming to obscure the light of my Sun and my Stars. Soon it will be dark and will be winter. I lost myself. I cannot see the way neither feel any guidance. I am forced to stop, find shelter and wait to be over with it.

Cielo autunnale

" Sad Awareness "
Oil on Canvas (40 x 120 cm)

The Autumn Sun, hidden by fiery clouds, reflects rays of light on the browny foliage of a lonely tree. To go back is not possible, it had never been. I look around. My sight is obscured by shadow zones, the horizon is uncertain. Long blades of dried grass let themselves to be bent by the wind, simply waiting for next Spring.

Cielo Invernale

" Chaos and Rebirth "
Oil on Canvas (40 x 120 cm)

Confused emotions and turbulent discomforts take over inside of me. The Sun is rising, highlighting the dark clouds from the stormy night. I look carefully and I want to understand. I think it is over, but it is too early, I cannot be warmed by the Sun yet. This Winter sunrise inebriates my sight, but the icy air breaks my breath.

Fiore di Loto, Edifici moderni

" Human Dualism "
Oil on Canvas (60 x 90 cm)

It shines bright in the darkness of the night, that is the rainbow of colors created by man and inspired by the beauty and perfection of the Nature. Technology and Magic, Spirit and Reason, Wisdom and Folly, Good and Evil.

" Pieces of me "
Acrylic on soundproofing panels

(2 panels 79 x 50 cm and 2 panels 100 x 50 cm)

Many nuance inside of me have found the way to link together, forming in the material world harmonious figures that the mind can understand and catalog. Other parts of me, on the contrary, have not yet taken shape. They rises as not so much regular figures, sometimes just mentioned or nearly transparent, that eyes can barely perceive and the mind can only imagine.

Iperrealismo, arte contemporanea

" New Worlds "
Oil/Acrylic on Wood (80 x 40 cm)

Escape from reality. Transfer and Movement. Blurred images and barely hinted transparencies. Perpetual and delicate motion of unknown waves that overlap inside of me. I am looking for new stars and new planets, new emotions and new experiences, never lived, never tried, never even imagined. I don't see the bottom. The light is low. I'm scared. I stop and look up, looking for my comet.

" Dorian Gray "
Acrylic/Tempera on Wood (80x60 cm)

Opera Bianco e Nero, Monocolore, Dorian Gray

Kneeling in the dark for too long, you've been watching life pass before your eyes, and you finally feel it's enough. Your demons no longer scare you. Now you know that you are stronger than them and you finally feel life flowing through your veins, because now you understand ... you understand that the fire that burns inside of you are not the flmaes of the hell comsuming you, instead is the lifeblood that will lead you to rebirth. You get up, with the proud gaze of the warrior who has found his sword, not to hurt, but to use it like a mirror. Finally, my love, you are taking off the mask to let the light in...

" Magic Night "
Oil on Wood (106 x 74 cm)

I look at the city lights. A reality that I cannot understand. The reflexes on the dark water form plays of light that enchants me and makes me dream. I can imagine stories and intertwined lives. Lost and found loves. Princes coming from faraway. Full of homesickness, I search for my home place, rolling my eyes to the sky. Too many lights dim the stars, which fail to reflect themselves on the bridge of my life.
