As an Italian painter, my art is a tribute to the rich tapestry of the Mediterranean, capturing the vibrant essence of nature, the beauty of landscapes, and the soulful presence of animals. The lush greenery of the Italian countryside, the azure hues of the Mediterranean Sea, and the golden light that bathes the hills and valleys are my muses. Through my work, I strive to convey the unique atmosphere and timeless charm of these places, inviting viewers to experience the same sense of wonder and joy that I feel when I paint.

 

The sea is a recurring subject in my paintings, not only for its aesthetic value, but as a primordial element that refers to the origin of life. It is also at the center of contemporary social issues like human trafficking and migration and, also, environmental problems. These issues concern me and inform my work as an artist with a background in social and political science.

My chosen mediums—oil, acrylics, and watercolors—each serve as a conduit for my expression, allowing me to explore and convey the subtleties of my subjects with authenticity and subjectivity. Oils bring a richness and depth to my landscapes, capturing the interplay of light and shadow. Acrylics offer a versatility and vibrancy, enabling me to depict the dynamic energy of the natural world. Watercolors, with their fluidity and transparency, lend themselves to capturing the ephemeral beauty of moments in nature.

In every piece, I aim to imbue my work with a sense of authenticity. This authenticity stems from a deep, personal connection to my subjects, each brushstroke a reflection of my experiences and emotions. Whether it is the quiet dignity of a solitary tree, the gentle curve of a coastline, or the soulful gaze of an animal, my art is a reflection of my inner world and my interpretation of the beauty around me.

Subjectivity plays a crucial role in my artistic process. It allows me to transcend mere representation. My paintings are not just depictions of nature and landscapes; they are intimate narratives, each with its own story and emotion. This subjective approach ensures that my art remains deeply personal, yet universally resonant, touching on the shared human experience of beauty, peace, and connection to the natural world.

Stylistically, I take my cue from the Italian art movement of the Macchiaioli, whose large patches of color can be read as the starting point of later studies on light from Impressionism through to digital art.

 

In essence, my art is a celebration of Mediterranean atmospheres, a heartfelt ode to the landscapes and creatures that inspire me. It is an invitation to pause, reflect, and find solace in the simple yet profound beauty of the world around us. Through my work, I hope to inspire a deeper appreciation for nature, a recognition of the inherent beauty in authenticity, and a shared journey into the subjective realm of artistic expression.
