About the Item

THIS WORK (R:0260) of 1994 is a self-portrait made with the technique PHOTOPITTURA with the photographic element represented by a part of my face inserted in a two-dimensional painted wood. The title of the work is "Chair heartfelt” (R:3733 that you find among the works presented) because the back is perforated in the shape of a heart. This chair is one of several furniture (armchair, coffee table etc.) that I made as elements with which I "furnished" my INTERIORS. These are paintings that usually represent the home living room, which in Neapolitan culture represents the portrait of the family who lives there. A path started, for example, with R.0108 then evolved into 0120, then in 0136 with the furniture flying in the room. And again in 0148 where flowers (but also other things or people) come and go from outside to inside and back to outside. The house is therefore a "refuge" that can be closed or opened to the world according to the needs and desires of its inhabitants. PORTRAITS AND SELF-PORTRAITS FROM 1964 TO PRESENT - VARIOUS TECHNIQUES I started from a young age (8 years) to put on paper my "daydreams" that at elementary school I was interrupted by a jolt when the teacher yelled at me: "Dario comes back to us!". Today (2024) I have therefore 66 years that I do portraits the first of which was dedicated to Napoleon Bonaparte of whom I had had several stories of great enterprises that had me passionate. In fact, in my life I have read many biographies of great characters that have always fascinated me because they were the only ones I could read because they told true stories. I explain better instead what happened while I read the novels: my fantasy overlapped to that of the author and so only after dozens of pages I noticed it and had to go back. In fact I did not remember what I had read with my eyes and not with my mind!!! Returning to the portraits I used almost all techniques from pencil to pastel painting up to digital processing adding another reserved only portrait: the photo collage. It is a photo (taken by me or received from a collector like you) that I digitally process with a technique invented by me (and recorded) that, after various framing tests, allows me to process the final image on the computer. If you like the idea, please send a frontal photo to WALLECTOR
