The quest for expression is the common thread of my life.
I’ve always been interested in Photography, as a means of expression.
Although I am aware of the importance of the theoretical knowledge of an instrument in order to get the best use of it, I constantly forget every rule I learned and use the camera in an instinctive way. Only by doing this I am able to capture in that rectangular space an image that moves and satisfies me.

Macchie di Colore (in Italian stands for images composed of colors and abstract shapes) are photos I took in a period of experimental and instinctive use of the camera.

Playing with different combinations of color and shape, light and dark to evoke the idea of something more than just giving directly the image of a situation: it's an attempt to follow the concept of less is more where the viewer is invited to experience and partecipate rather then to be visually passive.

Little Leaf is the metaphorical story of a leaf that dreams to visit new places, far from the small forest where she is born.
She feels safe at home but after a while she gets bored and asks the Wind to bring her with him to visit the World. He pleases her so she flies high, over the mountains, the farms, the lakes and the rivers until she reaches the City.
After a while the Sounds become aloud, Things move too fast, she feels herself in danger and desires to go back. There is no Wind to help her out this time.
Swowly Desire becomes Nostalgia.
Nostalgia is that feeling that happens when it’s impossible to go back where we want, and what if we desire something that’s never been real other than in the imaginary world of a child?

For this video I have combined normal footage with still images from the 'Macchie di colore' group.
Music from Litfiba "Eroi nel vento".

This video is about the cycle of life that starts with the childwood and closes with the old age, it is about hope and sometimes arrogance of the young, wisdom of the old, illusion and elusion, about time.

Working with clay is a very engaging experience, moulding with hands adds a sensorial aspect to this art that is missing elsewhere and it gives a wider satistaction while creating the object.

Drawing, one of the first and most immediate form of expression in the visual arts. I have never mastered it but for sure explored.
