  • AQUAE Emozioni Fluide – Genova 2025

    AQUAE – Emozioni Fluide

    Water refers to life, in its primordial form: the first cell originated in water; amniotic fluid protects the
    child during pregnancy, binding us inextricably with this element from the first moments of our existence.
    The theme of the exhibition focuses on the element of water, with particular attention to the environment linked to the sea, to the use and
    conservation of its resources for sustainable development.
    Painting, sculpture, illustration, photography and installation are the art forms admitted to the project, on a journey to discover the
    relationship between man and water, which has always been an invaluable resource for our species.

    Information on the event

    Period: From 8 to 16 February 2025, with inauguration on Saturday 8 February at 6:00 pm

  • I am the Rooster

    Let’s clarify right away: the title was decided by my Manager (i.e. my wife Luisa)!!!

    Undoubtedly, the Rooster’s gaze and his beautiful display of his feathered and colored chest, lead one to think that He is the most important in the henhouse.

    In this painting, inspired by a disrespectful cartoon published on Facebook, the subject offered stimulating and complex elements: the watchful eye, the crest and wattles, the pompous plumage. The background was completely redone at a later time, covering the signature with a glaze that appears to shine through and does not alter the final result.

  • The Madonnina and the spires

    The Milan Cathedral and the spires are a recurring theme in my works.

    I particularly love this great work of man, created in over 400 years by a multitude of Lombard artists and artisans. I compose this grandiose Cathedral about 3400 statues, 135 spires, 200 bas-reliefs, and 96 gargoyles. Each angle, each photograph, offers a different spectacle of the masterpiece that is even more fascinating at night.

    In this photo the Madonnina is framed from below, relevant and valuable compared to a Milanese moon, slightly red due to the city air very compromised by pollution and modern debauchery.

  • A dive and lots of bubbles

    I am a frog and from the shore I dive into the green pond where I was born and still live today without many worries.

    This painting has a particular charm, for the cheerfulness and lightness of the frog, a free animal, in perfect harmony with its natural habitat.

    The green of the water and the bubbles created in the dive, in contrast with the blue of the sky and the transparency of the waves and drops produced on the surface, are the perfect environment in which to play and live happily.

  • Lisbon Tram

    After a couple of Friday nights I really wanted to try to paint a subject by myself, which I took from the folder of postcards intended for watercolors and which I usually buy during my travels.

    Lisbon Trams are certainly a fun element, on which to play and practice the use of color. My idea was to make the tram appear from the fog, from the front and in one of those small uphill streets that characterize this poetic and highly inspiring City.

    Obviously, it is not easy for a neophyte to invent from scratch.

  • The first oil painting

    I have to be grateful to my art teacher Massimo Fontanini, who for many Friday evenings held a course at the Atellier Crespi in Via Brera, and allowed me to know, appreciate and acquire many oil painting techniques.

    It was he who proposed the first subject to draw and paint. Two “red apples” that were the first oil painting, the first challenge in oil painting.

    The test was to represent on canvas two products of the earth of which we have a usual knowledge and of which anyone can easily evaluate the result in terms of: roundness, color, result of light and depth.

    Not everything is perfect, but the combination of details and the painting is interesting.

  • Miss. Dior

    After his first years as an illustrator and then as a Designer at Maison Piguet, in 1946 Christian Dior and Marcel Boussac founded the fashion house in Paris on Avenue Montaigne. The following year he presented his first Spring-Summer collection to the public. Luisa and I visited La Galerie Dior this year (2022) in December, where this dress is exhibited, from which a photo was taken at the time that I interpreted. In the original photo the dress is completely black.

  • Giardini BAM – Medical Evidence card

    Every year, the Medical Evidence Division of MeTMi S.r.l. (ECM Standard Provider n. 5 of the Italian Ministry of Health) produces 8,000 copies of an identification card, sent to each healthcare professional who has participated in the Refresher Courses.

    The cards, which reproduce each year the work of an internationally renowned author selected by a jury of experts, have become a collector’s item over time. This is also thanks to their personalization with the name of the participant.

    In 2024, the work depicted on the cards was the painting “Giardini BAM – Gae Aulenti“.

  • Giardini BAM – Gae Aulenti

    It’s a surprise. A green meadow in bloom in the center of Milan, all to be discovered and appreciated. A walk that, after an unlikely square crowded with glass buildings and spires, leads you to the heart of a park that you don’t expect to find in the center of a metropolitan city.

    A spectacular view of nature where the soul unfolds and people stop in surprise to admire a nature that until recently had been forgotten.

    This work was used in 2024 for the printing of the “Attendance Cards” of the participants in the ECM Courses of Medical Evidence – Milan (see link)
