CREDO

C R E D O

Since I was young I tried to find a way to overcome the craftsman's part of the artist work, because much part of a sculpture's creation, for example, is pure hard work in stone.

In my opinion, the artist should only think how to find the better way to send his message to the viewer and in the last years the computer came with the tools needed to overcome these impediments.

When you look around you see in nature, the only world where we have access, endless and continuing changing forms. How can I better represent all I see with than using the infinite capabilities of today's technologies?

Nature had derived from abstraction, from the most profound expression of Darkness, so I think that the art is not necessarily a reflection of nature as we may see it, it's a reflection of the Creation.

In my paintings I am trying to reveal the hidden feelings in the viewer mind, I am not offering answers, but questions to be raised, because everybody has a unique path to Heaven. It's like everybody's looking in the same mirror, but see different things, because it's his own unique mirror.

My studies in the philosophy of religions helped me to understand that trying to find the Final Truth it's a long journey that finally leads nowhere but to ourselves. So, all I want is that anyone who sees my paintings finds himself there, with all his questions.

Moreover, if, through my paintings, I might be able to help him find his Inner Soul, that means that I have done my job and I can be happy for him.
