Painting and drawing are like a pleasant game that make me happy.

Take part in an exposition is the best way to share my experience and to see other people works, to get new ideas.

Carne (Flesh) “Carne (Flesh)”

Pork. It's one of the first word that comes in mind, isn't it?

I think there is a fundamental problem. Most of the time comparisons between human and animals highlight commonly known characteristics, mostly predictable and cultural.

Cunning like a fox, frightened rabbit. Pork as a pig. Dirty, perverted, depraved.

What about cooked steak ? meat? Pigs are one of the first sources of edible meat. Meat(flesh) is also ours: our flesh, what we are made of. I wonder why what really links us to the animals is not what comes in mind when thinking about common aspects.

Woman as representation of Human kind. Pig as a rappresentative of Animal kind. But man is an animal. United in breath, in blood in flesh.

Surprise “Surprise”

Ideas, concepts and objects thought and carried out during '70s and '80s are constantly linked to our present.

Every day multiple remakes are made (in cinematography, entertainment, interior decoration) as revival of that years. They are a revisiting of signs and elements from that period, just technically adapted to our current life.

I ask myself if lack of new ideas takes us to see hypnotically '70s and '80s, just because the are joyful parts of our childhood.

Is this attitude like a sort of bad habit?
Maybe, it could be a good thing to stop and get awareness of it.

This work is not an homage to 'kinder eggs' (an '80s chocolate commercial product for children) but an 'investigation' around one of the object of those years to make us conscious.
