I have always loved wood, it gives me peace and protection, its smell takes me back to my childhood, when I used to admire my uncle, a craftsman, working on restoring antique furniture, preparing frames and boards for his paintings.
His philosophy was that anything could be salvaged and even objects deemed unusable could acquire new value.

That scent and that thought have never left me. That is why I use wood, wood waste and jute in my work.
To bring these poor materials back to life and ennoble them, I chose to use pure colour pigments.

There was a lot of research into choosing the right colour for the materials used, as not all the products on the market were able to bind and enhance the wood.
In the end, I chose a line of pure organic water-based pigments.

The combination of colour, jute and wood create three-dimensional works and the light they transmit gives a strong impact that is not only visual but also emotional.

This project was born in the early 2020s during the isolation caused by the covid-19 pandemic.
Intrecci represents confusion, the difficulty of finding linearity and order in our lives. Intrecci is also connection, it is that network where we human beings are stuck.

It is tangle and union.
In these works I have not abandoned colour, because it is through its light that hope will manage to stay alive and give us the strength to resist the cold and loneliness of the moment.
