ARTIST STATEMENT
I believe that Art and Life can be inextricably connected and ultimately my artistic projects are aimed at discovering opportunities to uncover this connection, whilst advocating an aesthetic of authenticity.
The main questions at the base of my artistic research are several but conjoined.
How can we look at mundane actions or situations from our daily life in a different way, maybe merely poetic or maybe susceptible to generate in us reflections or questions? How can we delve deeper into our life and extract its hidden beauty, its profound truth? And ultimately, how can we live this precious moment more fully, more consciously?
The heart of my aesthetics is necessarily one where beauty walks alongside truth, in the streamlined and essential mundanity of materials, in the apparent repetitiveness of actions, in the gentle provocation of the other, in the proposition to look at life differently, together.
This consistent, insistent artistic research picks up individual topics from the irresistible stimuli received from quotidian life. At the moment I am focusing on the action of breathing and how this repetitive cycle - begun with the first inspiration taken outside of the maternal womb - will end with a final expiration at the moment of our passing. I am exploring materials and actions that could allow me to isolate the expiration.
