My work is a testimonial of a journey that takes me from the desire of knowledge to freedom.  I will take it looking at the dynamics of exchanges, trying to understand the inside and the outside, feeling that everything is connected and one.

The deeper unity of my work is not given by the relationship between the different media and artistic languages used but instead by my intention to express freedom and consciousness, the intention to go forward categories, identities, language and deterministic thinking.

I think I'm always talking about freedom but from different angles. From a very "paradisiac" angle where everything becomes color, equilibrium and beauty, to an "infernal" angle, where I try to bring back the perception of a "lost reality", in a post truth and propaganda environment. In a vibrant state of consciousness the opposites are united, the system understood and the de-constructive action allows the change, from the darkness to the light.

Some intuition allows artists create a series of similar works. different replicable processes and paradigms that lead in recognizable styles. I created different worlds that you can see as "different styles" or as "different approaches to different contemporary issues". My art is not something related with my artistic identity. My art is related with freedom and the present. Sometime I choose different media and specific languages to maximize the content of that specific work in that specific time.

I think we are not identities but a state of consciousness in constant exchange with something, during "the changing", that it is the only real truth and constant in life. Art brings back a testimonial of this journey of human's existence.

I believe in a "useful art" that brings back a testimonial of this journey of the soul, in the form of artwork, the object itself, that occasionally, in the best cases in my opinion, can also enlighten society, describing how perceptive dynamics work, why they exist, shows our feelings and limits, illustrating the various levels of knowledge, in relationship amongst themselves, mostly it tells me how much I'm awake and free.

In my opinion real freedom is truly related to what I call knowledge and knowledge in the end, is freedom.
