The awakening of the Soul

​

The paintings of the "white period" were presented for the first time at the exhibition "Maree" ("Tides"), held in Milan in 2005.

​

"... In the last phase of his work, the artist strives for lightness and rarefaction. He acts on his chromatic universe an austere limitation, which reveals the root of unusual, intense coloristic emotions: the artist gives us works where absolute white light - just shaded by residual figural silhouettes - reigns as the fullness of emptiness, like purity, solitude, silence. The "white silence", as Kandinsky says, is "the supreme sound, imperceptible", intrinsically linked to the birth, the emergence of a new language ... the formal expression becomes pure light in the mysterious vibrations of a material thin that shapes appearances - more than images - beyond painting and sculpture. Veronicas, secular shrouds and yet sacred, deployed to guard the secret of an absolute, eternal silence. In this game of transparencies and outcrops, white is the symbolic color of this being in power, which seems to be rooted in the hypothesis advanced by Vladimir Soloviev about the existence of a "nothing positive", perpetually susceptible to sprouting in the "all" of the Universe, a kind of being original spring..." (An extract from Silvia Pegoraro critical comment)
