“I’m lured by the essence of things, by an incessant tension towards the Truth, the Absolute, the Spiritual in art.”

Essenze, 2008, is the series that smells real while moving in on things’ core genuinely and magnificently. This is a series based on the balance of colour and shapes and it represents a return to order in the artist’s poetry. Indeed he makes use of canvas with more simplification and pureness. The abstraction and clarification process reaches the extreme and the artist’s style actualises itself in a mixture of shapes, summarised in an elementary language made up by coloured areas.
