In 2008 I started a project that was detached from any previous one and which could give the possibility of multiple “input/output” fruition both incoming and outgoing and so Eyes into Eyes …was born a little trip into the history of art as seen through the eyes of its main characters not just them.
The works that I exhibit in this page are the artistic part of the whole project that had its development in the publication of the book “Eyes into Eyes”.
It is now clear that art is not longer the “cutting edge” of anything related to the images of the world, it is not only image in our era. The hardest thing was to accept this state of affairs, accept that art could be one of the many disciplines that were responsible for investigating the world through pictures, without a recognized priority than that, now in decline, that it comes from the first, and for thousands of years the only form of image creation.
Today the intrusive presence in the world of information and entertainment, both based on the evocative power of images, has pushed the artistic disciplines in other areas of investigation, which is why I thought it would be interesting to take possession of the intimate essence that connects the viewer with the artwork. Everything had to be done by fixing the attention on how to identify the unique and extraordinary human being …his eyes.
The features, the face expressions do not classify peolpe, but they can not identify a character traslating the secret language of the affections, of the hidden recesses of the mind.
The eyes are never silent, even in the deep silence they tell, you something, they communicate only in the quiet anguish of silence.
Great pain and serenity speak in the absence of words. The research of emotion in one look was the driving force that has guided us in the iconographic research on the eyes starting from the analysis of the works which have represented an era or an artistic movement, but his eyes are those of everyday life, of collective imagination, the ones that often have accompanied us in our dream vision… eyes in which we dive to discover the space-mental physical poetic from a thin thread of a look here raises our journey full of characters with whom each of you will get excited.
