Ancora tu

Someone is wandering around in a precise space while the artist is about to etch the plate. The latter observes it attentively and feels he must make a portrait of it, obviously without specifying the identity or the characters of the person.

The artist is both interpreter and spectator in the flow of his creative process. He captures and amalgamates every discovery or emotion he feels. The viewer of the work is presented with a classical age ‘back’; the represented person has no name. Who knows, perhaps the artist might have seen and encountered it in the National Archaeological Museum in Naples

If so, this formless figure could be the Doryphoros, created by the Greek sculptor Polykleitos, dating back to the 1st century BC.

The result would be an exaltation of immortality and physicality.

The artist certainly shows a marked interest in matter, free, manipulated, transformed into an art object, in the logic of informal artists such as Jean Fautrier, Jean Dubuffet, Alberto Burri, etc.
