Pools
Pools is my main painting series (2017- in progress). The Pools series is an expression of the desire to build a personal visual language through which to speak in images of reality, both the intimate one of the artist and the external one with which I constantly relate. Part of the elements that appear in the artworks recall the world of surflifesaving competitions, a discipline of the Italian Swimming Federation whose trials in the sea and in the pool simulate lifesaving actions using dummies, rescue-tubes, and other tools also used in seaside lifesaving. The mountain landscapes present in many of the artworks are the pictorial transfiguration of real places I visited over time. The first paintings of this series have been realised for my BFA project, focused on the shipwreck as visual metaphor of the existence.
Each painting has its own story to tell, click on the thumbs to discover it.
