Artist Statement
“Che cosa significa essere una piccola coscienza capace di osservare un universo così immenso?”
“What does it mean to be a small consciousness capable of observing such an immense universe?”
This question is the starting point of my artistic research and the nucleus from which Formsart is born.
My work unfolds from the contemplative observation of nature and the universe: from water crystals to mineral structures, from the geometry of a leaf to the immensity of the star-filled sky. In these phenomena I recognise a presence of order, harmony and mystery that continues to question human consciousness.
My works do not seek to faithfully represent the visible world. Through luminous geometries, abstract structures, material surfaces and digital environments, I build spaces of contemplation where nature, memory, technology and imagination can coexist.
What interests me is not describing what we see, but suggesting what we perceive beyond the surface of things.
Tianwen 天问 — A Dialogue Across Time
A part of my research engages in dialogue with the Tianwen (天问, "Heavenly Questions") of Qu Yuan (屈原, c. 340–278 BCE), one of the most important poets of the Chinese tradition.
“Form is the echo of time.”
“The stars are not the destination. They are the invitation.”
