About the Item
XI:MMIX is a large 81.75 x 72-inch abstract painting on canvas, painted with pastel colors that the artist creates himself. The primary colors are cerulean blue, black, and ochre. The cerulean has the delicacy of pastels. The black creates a powerful contrast to the cerulean blue, with the red accent creating the focus of the painting. The composition has an ephemeral feeling to it. It creates a distinctive mood of mystery, nostalgia, and romantic poetry. It has the beauty and intensity of emotions, of distant landscapes seen through a misty morning, enhanced by subdued colors.
Italian born - from the southern region of Campania, home to the ancient Roman sites of Pompei and Ercolano - the artist says, "My work references the land of my ancestors. Over the years, the elements of that land - the light, texture, shadows, color, and the actual materials - earth pigments, lime, marble dust - have formed the essence of an "inner landscape" and have become a reference point for my work. I was trained as a sculptor, and the "feel" of the material is central to my work. The use of and commitment to unconventional handmade tactile materials is essential for me. I use an earth palette with handmade lime paint, pigments, graphite, handmade oil pastel, sand, dirt, and straw. Creating these materials in the studio is an essential component of my process. I build up the surface, adding layers, sometimes scrape away, and often take a torch to what remains. This physical engagement establishes an intimate relationship with these active substances, leading to a sense of immediacy, depth, and freshness."
