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 my invention in 1994. In fact, since 1964 I 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.
SOCIAL RESEARCH
This work is part of the SOCIAL "research" which addresses issues that concern people and the "polis" which in Latin means city but also "political model".
THE LIGHT OF IDEAS
A light bulb that is lit without needing electricity, because the plug is not inserted into the socket! We would have solved all the ENERGY SAVING problems that have been plaguing the world for a few years. In fact, producing electricity creates air pollution with warming of the planet and very serious consequences for life on Earth. Then we should create people capable of producing ideas that save energy consumption, a path undertaken for years which, despite many attempts, has still not led to a solution. But human beings have unpredictable abilities which today, aided by digital processing, will allow them in the coming decades to find solutions to reduce this imbalance which is dangerously damaging the climate. A challenge that has been repeated for millennia, or rather millions of years: I have given my small contribution!

From "Tell me how to behave" series
"The simulacrum is not what hides the truth. It is the truth that conceals that there is no truth.
The simulation is true "
TELL ME HOW TO BEHAVE
Series of photographs digitally intervened and road signs transformed (life-size), who wonder about the infinite possibilities, without losing sight of the fact that in all of them. There is the possibility of death.
With this in mind, the work seeks to relate to the viewer, in terms of the experience lived, decisions in time, or personal history, which are common to all.
Functioning as a counter-proposal to the expectations that the group expects from the individual.
The dislocated-edited reality makes us ask about our reality and to what extent.
Sample freedom of choice is influenced by external agents, mass control systems, mass media, etc.
Waste, immaturity, successes, time lived. The series plays
with the presentation of bad possibilities, absurd and impossible, and their relationship with time. Letting you see the paradox
of memories and experience, raising its relationship with the present. Where the image of the road, as an American space of freedom, opens up to the idea of a space large enough to imagine the possibility of reinvention in every second.
