"Venere Reclina" - "Reclining Venus"
"Comme la poésie, le tableau doit être fécond" Joan Miro’.
My imposing "Venere reclina” (Reclining Venus, 85x163 cm, a female torso that turns into leopard, zebra, heron, monkey) is a "sculpture- painting” consisting of several triangular base wooden solids set and rotating on axes, differently painted on the three sides.
In line with my whole artistic production, it is conceived in the aim of creating a dialogue in a playful and interactive way between the artwork and viewers of all ages. The originality of this work, which consists of three works in one, does not go, however, at the expense of a constant reference to the great artistic tradition that marks all my poetry and my 'modus operandi.'
The artwork - just finished and therefore never exhibited before in public - offers a more mature technical-formal and coloristic performance. The outcome of a particularly inspired moment, my "Venus" is different from the works I presented, because of its very peculiar treatment of backgrounds: in the revival of the ancient - and expensive - decorative technique of gilding with genuine gold leaf, I conceptually reconnect to that art of the so-called "phototropic epochs" (Byzantine and medieval) in which light is the element that gives life to the forms: the figures - as "new icons" - emerge from the golden glow of the background and urge viewers to interact with the work by giving an always new interpretation, in perpetual metamorphosis.
Art needs to be reinvented: as Duchamp said, it is "a jeu entre l'artiste et le spectateur"; that’s the message my work aims to convey.

Per anni, la Grecia ha chiesto invano la restituzione dei marmi, sostenendo la tesi che le sculture fossero state esportate con l’inganno e che queste rappresentassero una parte del simbolo nazionale del Paese.
