"The two faces of the moon" – diptych
“Metamorphosis sequence”
Why Metamorphosis? It is a transformation of the soul going through three stages of grief. Meanwhile the transformation is aimed to reach peace and self-consciousness, the path turns out to be challenging, full of contradictions that slowly tear apart the awareness left in you.
"Fade" Series
"Fade" talks about our waisted moments and repressed feelings. Each painting, on different perspectives, is the mirror of our frantic life, as we are always on movement there is no time for happiness. The dark background represents the existential fear of understanding, the truth that we all try to avoid; I like to keep it under colourful shades which are the smiles of our masks.
"Trough foreign eyes" Sequence
Turin, May 2013.
I was going somewhere, don't remember where, but I stepped on a bus. There was a little girl whispering to a middle-aged man. They talked long, but still, I couldn't get the language; she moved a lock of hair behind her ear, took a look over me and quickly returned to her talk. She has got such a mystic energy and her talkative eyes were saying way more than could be explained. After a little hesitation I approached the man and asked if I could take pictures of the girl. Both agreed and gave me the card of a café in the center.
I have passed by that place many times and many times haven’t walked in.
Giorgiana was posing very beautifully and naturally, also a little shy.
Everything went just fine and that was the last time we met.
Months later I ventured to an introspective journey to India, where Giorgiana became the window of my feelings: all four canvases were painted in accordance and simultaneously with the events and the emotions of my travel around the world and each of them hold the power of it.
