Ecco alcune righe tratte dal libro “chentannos”.
Ho sempre pensato che i centenari e le loro storie siano una ricchezza e un valore aggiunto della nostra isola.
A Fonni, proprio vicinissima alla Chiesa dei Martiri, c'è una via in cui le case, molte con i muri in pietra , incontrano il ciottolato. Là, durante il bel tempo,sopra un gradino di granito sta seduta tia
Anna che in mano custodisce il suo rosario scandendo il tempo snocciolandolo, preghiera dopo preghiera . Da via Sechi,seduta su quel gradino è come se avesse quasi girato il mondo ,infatti lei dice spesso:”Deo so andada in tottu su mundu” (io sono andata in tutto il mondo) perchè i turisti che vi passano, di diverse nazionalità la fotografano e quando le inviano le foto che la ritraggono lei dice a sua figlia”Vardia a uve so andada deo”(guarda dove sono andata io).
Nell'opera che ho realizzato, ho cercato di catturare l'essenza e la saggezza trasmessa dalla figura anziana, dipinta con la tecnica dell'olio in uno stile che fonde il figurativo con l'impressionismo. I toni caldi e le spatolate energiche evocano una sensazione di forza e resilienza, mentre la posa riflessiva della figura suggerisce una vita piena di ricordi e storie. Questa immagine non solo arricchirà visivamente lo spazio in cui verrà collocata, ma porterà anche un palpabile senso di storia e profondità emotiva.

Giovanni Battista Mattu, known professionally as Gianni Mattu, was born in the province of Nuoro, Sardinia. From a young age, he demonstrated a strong aptitude for drawing and painting, drawing inspiration from Renaissance works, Impressionists, the Macchiaioli, and early twentieth-century Sardinian artists.
His artistic journey began in earnest in the 1990s, when he collaborated with other artists on murals in Fonni, Nuoro. His first solo exhibition took place in Alghero in 2001, where he began signing his work as Gianni Mattu. Over the years, he has participated in numerous exhibitions both in Italy and internationally, including the "Artistes du Monde" in Cannes (2015), the Rome Triennale in 2016, and the Padova International Art Fair in 2018. He has also won several awards, including the third international Arcaista Tarquinia prize.
Mattu’s work is characterized by continuous exploration and a desire to merge painting with diverse materials. Initially, he focused on oil on canvas using a spatula, producing expressionist works that blend figures, landscapes, and portraits. Notably, he created a series depicting children's games and traditional Sardinian costumes, reflecting the cultural significance of manual skills and socialization.
As his career progressed, Mattu experimented with unconventional surfaces such as sand, cardboard, and used jute bags, incorporating these elements into his acrylic and oil paintings to convey experience and time. His innovative approach includes integrating dried prickly pears and resin-coated carasau bread into his artworks, symbolizing Sardinian traditions. His fascination with mosaic techniques has led him to combine marble tiles, paint, and other natural fragments like cork.
Mattu also explores new pictorial supports, including concrete and oxidized sheet metal, where rust becomes an integral part of his work. This ongoing experimentation reflects his commitment to creating art that communicates emotions and stories through unique and unexpected mediums.
