Enamels, acrylics and mixed media. Year 2023. Impressions are the sensations or opinions we form about others or about the situations we live in. They can be positive or negative, immediate or thoughtful, accurate or biased. However passivity is the attitude of those who think or act under the influence or guidance of others, without showing initiative or will of their own. In philosophy, it is the characteristic of that which has no activity, such as matter. Impression and passivity generate conflict, illusion and hypocrisy: this is our contemporary being. A set of individuals who interact with each other according to shared norms and values, conscious or not, servants and masters, spectators and actors, victims and perpetrators, all inexorably influenced by passivity, or by the tendency to follow the dominant opinions and behaviors in society. To be more critical and aware, we must deal with current events, with responsibility and reason, trying to understand the causes and consequences of the facts that directly or indirectly concern us to avoid a probable narcissistic and masochistic implosion of Western laxity.

La maggioranza della gente è contenta quanto immagina di esserlo, così va la vita...l'altro giorno mentre bevevo un caffè in un bar e mi chiedevo cosa avrei provato ad essere sparato a razzo tra gli astri, una persona anziana ben vestita dall'aria di chi sa troppo ma non sa a chi dirlo, mi guarda e mi dice:che bello sarebbe se solo gli idioti sapessero di esserlo! e si finì il caffe e se ne andò guardandomi con aria da lince complice. Vedendolo andare via di schiena tra il cicalar dei clienti e rumore di tazzine e cucchiaini notai che il barista guardandomi mi disse solo: era uno che mangiava i silenzi dei cuori altrui. Era ricco, poi perse tutto, poi ridivenne ricco e poi di nuovo povero - Ed ora? gli chiesi? - Ora vive in una casa piena di sabbia con il rumore del mare e luce artificiale...dice che un giorno o l'altro ruberà la luna... gli piace anche far foto sotto la pioggia, e le fa anche bene, sa? Sorrisi ancora e pensai ad Eraclito: l'ascesa e la discesa sono la stessa cosa dipende solo da dove si guarda. Cosi va la vita!

thank you very much Irvin
Straordinari lavori! Reflussi è una serie davvero originale
Sono affascinato dalla tua capacità di esprimere e di suscitare forti emozioni.
Wonderful works
Great work, great mind!
Desideravo esprimerle la mia totale ammirazione per i suoi lavori decisamente a dir poco interessanti. Sono certo che troverà la sua strada e glielo dice un signore che ha vissuto da dentro l'arte degli anni 50 e 60.
la seguirò attentamente. Con stima Marco De Sanctis
WONDER. all your work is fantastic! Helena
che ti è accaduto.. nelle ultime opere.. c'è tanta "oscurità"
Amo la vita così ferocemente, così disperatamente, che non me ne può venire bene: dico i dati fisici della vita, il sole, l’erba, la giovinezza:… e io divoro, divoro, divoro… Come andrà a finire, non lo so.
(pasolini)
bravo complimenti tornerò a guardare
Bellissima opera e labirintica idea.
Giulio
INTENSITà CHE EMOZIONA. LA SPRONO A PERSISTERE NEL SUO LAVORO.
Intense e strane le sue opere, tanto che le rendono decisamente affascinanti e meritevoli di studi approfonditi. Il tempo sono certo le darà ragione.
Complimenti.
andrea scanio
Gracias Alfio. Me gusta la fuerza y profundidad de tu obra surrealista. Muy bueno.
