The photography passion runs parallel to my devotion for painting. Photography in my experience is a wonderful way of taking notes, letting light writing for me.
In 2018 I started working to the Contaminations series, born from the need of making peace between my primary love for painting and the dedication to photography. This series tells the story of the symbiotic union between painting process and image, celebrated through the essential element that unites and at the same time distinguishes them: the light. This concept is materialized in the creative process through the union of painted canvas and image transfer on recycled plastic, made with hundreds of single-use plastic bottles. The image transfer, a fusion between photography and digital painting, is made with several different methods, both analogic and digital, then completed with the drawing and the painting phases. Some of these works are completed with the presence of a special LED light system with movement sensors, which celebrate the union between drawing, painting and photography, making them become true when the spectator moves around the artwork.
I will tell you more about this series in the next blog posts!
