Descrizione Opera / Biografia
I discovered my love for art in early childhood and realized how life could be much more complicated with it growing up.
Why? Simply because as an artist, you cannot accept the world the way it is. You keep on experimenting and challenging and pushing your inner soul in research of non-existing perfection.
I started my studies in art at the Accademia di belle arti of Florence and am now attending my masters in Painting. But my actual painting career, beginned as a perfect copying machine and then slowly dropped down all the walls of perfection in the search of who I really was as a person and as an artist. I went through the free spirit of abstract painting, the instant moment captured in a photography and the childhood power of illustration.
This is my friend Emma. She is a beautiful African young woman who’s body was made more beautiful by vitiligo. A skin disease.
She has inspired me in all ways and with this painting she has completely let me into her and into her being with no fear of judgement.
I tried in the best way that I could, to catch her wonderful eyes and to show her fearless beauty transforming her spots in a whole world. A map, a deep edge, an invisible part of her, a discover of her inner being. Anyone can see what they can hiding inside her.
”Hide-me-not” was my way of letting out and changing what may seem a problem to society into the power of someone.
No matter what, if we let go of all we put upon us, we can truly be who we are and shine..
For me, this painting, is a discovery into another persons life and I thank her for letting me go so deep inside.
