Always looking for a balance between the flow of inspiration and the contemplation of the content, it is now no more enough for me to simply produce artworks in which, through a visible recognizable, also it is possible to describe the intangible, invisible, behind people and things, but I need that my works, poetical from my point of view, " narrate "something. And maybe put side by side they would narrate something extra because of the approach, leaving even room to the imagination of the viewer.
And so “WAITING” and “HOPE”, that both represent a mother looking at the sea with her child. But the mother who waits, is looking at the sea together with the baby for welcoming the father on his return (would he be a fisherman, a sportsman, a trader? anyway he is surely the one who provides for the maintenance of the family); therefore she shows anxiety for the fondness of her husband, and for daily needs too. And on the contrary, the mother who is looking across the sea in the distance, toward the big city, hopes to move there and to get a better future for her and perhaps for her child: would she be a single mother, an islander cut off from the real world of the mainland? Surely, to put facing the two paintings, as made the Editor of the magazine “Art & Beyond”, makes it much more recognizable these questions, and others that may come to mind.
