About the Item
TECHNIQUE PHOTO-PAINTING
The technique used was defined as PHOTO-PAINTING by the art critic Silvia Pegoraro of Ravenna Italy and was and Artist's invention in 1994. In fact, since 1964 the Artist had been working with photography and painting which had never been united.
In 1994 I returned to Naples, the city where I was born and had been missing for 10 years after moving to Rome in 1984. I returned to see the MIRACLE achieved by the G7 with the Presidents of the most powerful countries led by Bill Clinton, US President. It was a wonderful visit to my city reborn in its ancient splendor! I took over 5,000 photos of the squares and monuments of Naples with my Nikon. I returned to Rome and had all the photos printed and put them on various tables and assembled all the various pieces. I immediately realized that parts were missing which I completed with paint. A spontaneous gesture with which I had unconsciously achieved a great innovation: I had combined the REALITY of photography with the DREAM represented by painting. Silvia, my muse who knew me well, when I showed her the first work IMPERATING MALE (R:0176) that I had done she said to me: "Dario you have united the TWO WORLDS of your life: that of your childhood with the sensitivity of the dreamer with the concrete one that they gave you taught your parents with education, studies (degree in Economic Sciences) and work started at 15 years old in your family's copper industry. These formative years had distanced myself from those of childhood when I studied the piano and dreamed of becoming an orchestra conductor. I also drew and painted with my imagination in search of the affections I was missing. In fact my parents were busy in the factory (copper production) rebuilding Italy destroyed by the recently ended war. I then refined PHOTO-PAINTING which developed into DIGITAL PROCESSING having replaced the BRUSH with the MOUSE to fill the gaps left by the photography and complete the REALITY which with painting became another FANTASTIC reality.
PLACES OF MEMORY Cities
This work is part of the "research" PLACES OF MEMORY Cities revisited by me in a fantastic way. In fact I use my exclusive PHOTOPAINTING technique with a photographic element to which I add painting (oil or acrylic) to create a NEW REALITY.
BETWEEN-PAST-FUTURE
Italy is certainly a country with a great historical past and Rome is its symbol because for over 2000 years CAPUT MUNDI was the capital of the world until the disastrous Second World War in which fascism involved Italy! The challenge today is to become the capital bridge between past and future. So a city symbol of a great past, but also of a modern and attractive future. And here things get more difficult because history slows down modernity that instead develops in countries with little history that therefore look to the future. As is happening in the Arab Emirates that are in great technological development. A decisive future for the whole World that can be positive if there are no hegemonies, but the union of all peoples to make the Earth better or even save. In this painting I depicted the crescents of the Arab world instead of the crosses of the churches of Rome as a symbolic integration between peoples of different cultures and religions that find an encounter in the CAPUT MUNDI...!
