Philosophy
Your work and the game:
There is very little at stake, if not the backward journey I take in the creation of works. It is not reasoned, it is not designated, it is like the innocent vision of a child, without prejudice, without pollution of education. Pure consciousness and simplicity. In this sense it could be understood the game of fish, as well as when in Ustica, immersing myself, surrounded by groupers that looked at me, they turned around me, almost wagging their tail, showing the joy of familiarizing themselves with man.
Who are you, as an Artist:
I am a madman, more than an Artist, who believes in dreams so much that he wants to transform them into matter. I experience them firsthand. But there is nothing in the dream world of a real dream, since everything is real, concrete, substance, energy. I touch them, they are there. One who has the courage to be normal. We are works of art, and we do nothing but embrace our nature, our essence. We are special, but we don’t know.
What does exhibiting in Palermo mean for you:
Living in doubts and uncertainties, often making mistakes without being afraid of them, having been chosen to participate in Palermo was an unexpected opportunity, and a confirmation that my doing conveys something. Something simply comes from my experience through my fish.
What BIAS represents for you:
Always being holed up in the studio, not attending galleries and artists, having no knowledge of the commercial world and almost never participating in collective but personal exhibitions, it was a dip in culture, in a new world, and a dip in the past that it has further oriented my knowledge.
Give your definition of Art:
It is the measure that exists between the dream and the fact.
How simply the eyes of each of us educate our hands to shape the magnificent sensations that the material transmits to us. Free from all limits, free from the fears of errors, thanks to this purity, I can face my creative path. Art is simply feeling the creation, nature, absorbing the beauty that exists in the world around us.
In my case, the sea. And not only.
Art is, in fact, also a question of sex: where man is always woman, and Art is always man.
Art is an embrace that makes you, that takes you, that possesses you, that inseminates you and, above all, makes you capable of generating. This is why I have always said that anyone who is open and fruitful can do my Art. And so I ask myself: can it ever be Art that everyone, and I mean everyone, can do simply by being made by itself? For me, absolutely, yes.
Art is certainly a lot, but much more that I have yet to discover.
I’m just at the beginning.
Good Sea.
