DESCRIPTION
I (almost) always fond of mythology, especially the Mediterranean and the Middle East. This collection goes back in time, from the last work made with photographic prints on paper added with oil and pencil, to the firsts collages. The main base of almost these works are my trips, from Crete, passing through Athens (obviously), till Berlin museum, Istambul and Ephesus. The other works are created by my readings of historic studies and epic greek books. Da (quasi) sempre sono appassionato di mitologia, soprattutto del bacino mediterraneo e del medio oriente. Questa collezione va a ritroso nel tempo, dagli ultimi lavori realizzati con stampe fotografiche su carta e interventi ad olio e matita, ai primi collage. La base di quasi tutti questi lavori sono i miei viaggi, da Creta nel 2000, passando naturalmente da Atene fino al museo di Berlino, Istambul ed Efeso. Altri lavori sono invece ideati da letture, studi storici ed epica greca.TRANSCRIPT

the project
I (almost) always fond of mythology, especially the Mediterranean and the Middle East. This col-lection goes back in time, from the last work made with photographic prints on paper added with oil and pencil, to the firsts collages. The main base of almost these works are my trips, from Crete, passing through Athens (obviously), till Berlin museum, Istambul and Ephesus. The other works are created by my readings of historic studies and epic greek books.
Da (quasi) sempre sono appassionato di mitologia, soprattutto del bacino mediterraneo e del medio oriente. Questa collezione va a ritroso nel tempo, dagli ultimi lavori realizzati con stampe fotografiche su carta e interventi ad olio e matita, ai primi collage. La base di quasi tutti questi lavori sono i miei viaggi, da Creta nel 2000, passando naturalmente da Atene fino al museo di Berlino, Istambul ed Efeso. Altri lavori sono invece ideati da letture, studi storici ed epica greca.

Oh Mio Prometeo!
And, at the end of this catalogue, to close in other form all the sense of this searching, I made a short movie from the Aeschylus drama “the Phrometeus bound” in italian language with english subtitles from the version by John Stuart Blackie, 1906 in which I try to highlight the role of this demigod as saviour and creator of the all mankind, with an warning message due to the meaning of his name: he who think about before...Thanks to Rodolfo for his excellent recitation.
E alla fine non poteva mancare anche la realizzazione di un cortometraggio che racchiude in altra forma tutto il senso di questo cercare, di questo progetto: dal testo di Eschilo un video in 4:3, inquadra-ture “vecchio stile” in cui cerco di tirar fuori, grazie anche all’ottima recitazione di Rodolfo, il ruolo del semidio come salvatore e creatore dell’umanità, con un messaggio di avvertimento dovuto al significato del suo nome: colui che riflette prima...

I was born in Pisa, Italy, in 1971I always liked to paint since I was young, but in 1993, after a car accident of two friends of mine, I began to develop a personal (I suppose) way to see, analyze and recompose the reality, my feelings, using oil painting and watercolor. Since 2003 I started to use photography medium, video and videoinstallation for my artworks, most recently I started with the land art installations.As written before I always fond of mythology, especially the Mediterranean and the Middle East. In 2000 after a trip to Crete, I began to paint bulls (the project Kites and Bulls is one of my main projects) and since 2003 I started to use photos and collages for the project 2000 bc in which I try to rewrite the ancient history using a different point of view starting from some photos I made in my trips, often printed on paper and glued on paper, canvas or wood, then re-coloured with acrylic, lead pencil and crayon.Amongst exhibitions I made I want to remember the solo exhib in 2002 in Pisa in the Thorn Church, in Querceto (Volterra) in 2003 dedicated to the Seven Sleepers with my first short movie, the group exhib 7 rooms in Pietrasanta for IrenaKos Art Gallery and the installations Tori terrestri and the land art installation Costellazione toro (about 100 meter) for the third and fourth Montegemoli Biennale Marte (2001 and 2013).
Nacqui a Pisa il 10 marzo 1971.Mi è sempre piaciuto disegnare ma solo nel 1993, nel ritardato dolore per la scomparsa di due amici in un incidente stradale, ho sviluppato un modo (penso io) personale di rappresentare, scomporre e ricomporre la realtà, le persone, il mare, la mia Marina di Pisa. Appassionato di mitologia greco-minoica, curioso a tratti, ho cambiato via via il modo di dipingere con il passare degli anni, della passione, dell’età.Dal 2003, dopo la lettura di un libro sull’arte contemporanea e concettuale, ho iniziato a lavorare con queste metodiche così diverse dalla pittura figurativa o informale che sia e da allora è stato un continuo produrre collages fotografici, video, videoinstallazioni (interattive e non) fino alla land art.Nota a molti è la mia “vena” legata ai tori, derivazione della mia passione per la mitologia cretese (e non parlatemi di Minotauro e della tauromachia per favore!). Tra le esposizioni e esperienze a cui sono più affezionato mi piace citare quella del 2002 alla Chiesa della Spina, del 2003 a Querceto dedicata alla leggenda dei 7 dormienti con anche il mio primo video, Marina Terzo Millennio su una visione contemporanea della storia e dei luoghi del litorale pisano, Non solo tori al Royal Victoria Hotel del 2006, il video le baiser/il bacio,la collettiva 7 rooms in Pietrasanta per IrenaKos Art Gallery, l’installazione Tori Terrestri a Montegemoli nel 2011, la dinamica dietro l’idea per i miei 40 anni allo Spazio Espositivo Sopra le Logge, Costellazione Toro, opera di land art di 100 metri sulla collina a Montegemoli nel 2013...
