Evasion / Constriction

The artist identified with Alice in Wonderland to escape from a house that had become too narrow.

"This work describes the sensation of when you feel trapped, uncomfortable in your own house. More so in that specific moment when the walls shrink and the outside world seems too far away."

Feeling constrained in your own gray room makes you want to escape to the colors of the outside.

"What's outside turned magical and adventurous, and I started looking at it with new eyes, I started to see the world in all of its beautiful colours."

Observing other people’s lives becomes a method of evasion and revelation.

"Looking out onto an inner courtyard is like having a home safari available. Unpredictable human beings reveal their habits to you, and it is as if your gaze gradually tames them."

A dreamlike vision to escape from a sensation of imprisonment and have the same freedom of the clouds.

"Resigned, with long and messy hair and beard, I observe a road that leads me out of the cloister in the clouds. The negative side is next to me, death, loneliness, frustrations."

The forced gaze to observe the same subject notices subtle and unexpected changes.

"Everything changes every day, even the monotonous landscape outside your room."

The call of the sea makes its way to reach us and flood us.

"A window to the sea in the heart of Bologna."

A space perceived as narrow and suffocating day after day.

"My work represents people trapped at home. I represented loneliness, suffering and powerlessness during this period of quarantine."

The ordinary has become extraordinary.

"The photo is part of a photo series called The Metamorphosis inspired by the novel of F. Kafka."

These three works are the result of a conceptual map that starts from the association of accumulated words, deeply felt by the artist.

"I compare this exercise to the formation of an organism that slowly evolves by finding ways and, eventually, its own law to develop itself."

Metaphysical contacts, palpable emotions spread from places that shrink and expand.

"Forms touch each other from afar to feel nostalgia; their diaphragm expands or contracts on the surface-house that generates and projects them elsewhere or here, in the impenetrable root of things."

"If there is a way to stop time, it is through death, the time of the corpse is vain and still."

Looking at places where it is impossible to go, drawing them not to let them escape,

"I live in the middle of nowhere, between various difficulties and obligations. So I look out and start drawing to take a break."

The unconscious appears, the drive to escape is the thin line that divides the interior landscape from the exterior one.

"This work comes from the desire to satisfy the need to escape and reposition myself, but while I was painting my landscape out, something unconditional turned his eyes to an interior landscape."

You can discover shadows and hidden figures from the silence of your room: a game of dark and imaginative areas.

"No matter how my room got up there, I could see the whole city and the countryside, but above all I could see the Bull. He looked extremely melancholic, lost forever among the distant stars."

Escape the monotony of everyday life imagining other places, other spaces.

"Outside of my window passes the train every moment, a bunch of people in the train, back and forth like a 100m swim; so it’s not a train anymore but more like a fantastic ocean."
