Diary

The Lubiam Prize of 1977, this work marks the debut of a young Sandano, then a student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice. Already in this brilliant draft of a woman's body masked by curved lines and almost comic-like features, the artist's powerful post-modern inclination is shown. In fact, he would soon acquaint himself with different experiences, intended to overcome abstract impressionism and Arte Povera, moving towards a substantial return to the representational, with images pervaded by irony, crossing the world of Pop Art and Surrealism. Thus, many years later, it was fundamental for Sandano to build an artistic double in the person of the fantastic and centenary painter Olinsky, who was later enraptured by the appearance of Disneyana and Mickey Mouse, repeating it in paintings that ambiguously allude to the teachings of Salvador Dalì.
