Artist's Statement
Statement of Work
Painting is part of my life my blood and my passion. I believe strongly that art should not be viewed as a mere hobby for me since my paintings are the food and the air of my existence. Growing up I developed a curiosity without restraint by the Latinamerican and Italian - French culture and traditions.
This curiosity by my ancestors is the reason that all my work is distinguished by the ambiguity between the two homelands of America and Europe. In my work are evident deep social concerns. At that looks nearly identical to the art of urban Latin America without necessarily so. Since childhood I was attracted to the concept of the duality of things, the other side of the coin. The contradictions of things, the falsity of appearances and through a maze of images and concepts stablich I struggled to achieve my own identity.
With painting I try to comment on the environment and various social events such as excessive consumerism, subtle racism, and the Italo-French diaspora.I belong to a family of strong religious beliefs, specifically Catholic, Apostolic and that is why much of my work or rather all reflect religious faith.
The buildings present in most of my paintings depict the immense love I have for New York City where I was born and in which I lived my childhood running around the streets of the Bronx, a city that I dream one day to return with an exhibition of my paintings and go back to the streets. Which keep the best memories of my life.
