Description

This artwork features an imposing sculpture of a monkey seated on a throne, placed upon a chessboard. Crafted in a glossy black finish, the sculpture emanates an aura of reflection and introspection.

The chessboard beneath, with randomly scattered pieces, evokes the strategic game of chess, symbolizing intelligence and contemplation. The choice of an animal subject on a throne suggests a provocative reflection on power and the evolution of the intellect. The monochromatic tones of the piece add drama and intensify the contrast between the organic element and the geometric rigor of the chessboard. The work invites the viewer to reflect on the nature of the primate and its symbolic position at the top of the hierarchy.

Presentation

He is an eclectic artist who has chosen painting among many artistic expressions. Passion was embraced in the 90s and transformed into a profession.His painting is expressed through a gesture made of experimentation with color and the "Dripping" technique with which he interprets the landscape (Informal). His artistic production, although characterized by a constant path of research, always remains faithful to naturalistic painting, even when the link with figuration is only hinted at.

An example of his recent artistic production. The landscape and nature are radically rethought and, although the compositional balance remains, the link with figuration is now only hinted at, to recall it, a celestial body, present in every work and which has always been a point of reference for creation.

Since 2019 he has been part of the Association "The Free Artists in  Varese".The artist boasts important personal and collective exhibitions.His paintings are exhibited in galleries both in Italy and abroad.
