"...ma io da grande volevo fare l'artista!"

installazione fotografica

I asked the young artists to tell me HOW they want to be represented in their photo.

They chosen their position, their objcets, the sentence written under them.

Everything is useful for their personality.

Polaroid give us only one chance to take the picture...

...errors don't exist.

Viviamo in un Mondo che ci ha resi dei Disillusi. 

Disillusi sulla durevolezza delle cose, sulle possibilità, sull’onestà, sugli affetti. Ci ha privato di tanti valori, e quindi ci priva di sognarli.

Ci sono persone, però, che in un Mondo del genere NON hanno mai smesso di sognare.

Quelli sono i giovani artisti. 

Guardano al mondo con gli occhi di perenni bambini

scoprono sempre cose nuove, sorprendendosi davanti a situazioni che per gli “adulti” sono considerabili futili, 

indagando la Realtà in tutte le sue forme.

Siamo i guerrieri dell’improficuo ed i cavalieri dell’immaginazione.

Lavoriamo e lottiamo per un Futuro che nessuno vede per noi.

“Se c’è qualcuno che non ha mai smesso di sognare, quella sono proprio io!”

_______________________________________________________________________________

We live in a world that has made us Disillusioned. 

Disillusioned about durability of things, possibilities, honesty and affections. 

This world has deprived us of many values​​, preventing us to dream them.

However, there are people that in a world like that have NEVER stopped dreaming.

Those are the young artists. 

They look at World through the eyes of children

always discovering new things, surprising from situations that the "adults" consider futile,

investigating the Reality in all its forms.

We are the warriors of the fruitless and the knights of the imagination.

We work and fight for a future that no one sees us.

"If there is anyone who has never stopped dreaming, that's me!"

"Temperanza"

  

Temperance is a condition between two things 

which are considered opposites.

Temperance is balance.

I tried with my work

to approach Art and spectator.

Usually, we think about Art as a thing 

which is totally extraneous and distant from our daily life.

History teaches us that this is not true.

Just think about churches, monuments or frescos...

Society and Art always lived together,

they needed eachother.

What is happening now?

People prefere sport cars, full-optional fancy houses and full-optional hotels.

What about full-optional culture?

I think that artists are here for something,

our mission is try to reconnect two worlds 

which are lost in some strange boxes.

I feel this.

"A food portrait"   

various materials, glue, paper.

Gaia M. 2010

I’ve started modifying my own photo with Photoshop. 

I’ve simplified the contrast between light and shadow to make my photo look like a graphic work.

The work has been developed in four panels. 

The peculiarity is given by the materials.

Lights and shadows are defined by the use of unconventional material: food.

This choice gives birth not only to a self portrait, but also to a set of smells, tastes, colors and tactile experiences.

Approaching to the panel “salt – pepper” the observer can see the salt’s texture, and pepper might cause discomfort in the nose!

The panels are: salt-pepper, sugar-cocoa, hot pepper-ginger, nutmeg-sesame.

With the use of these materials I want to express one of my main features: Gluttony. Gluttony, played by the sense of Taste and supported by the other four senses.

These foods are some elements that compose my diet and also compose myself, because we are what we eat. So, we must take care of our palate.

We must learn enjoying food, not just eating.

"Come puoi amare una persona se non ami il suo profumo?"

Presso Auditorium di Albino (Bergamo), Gaia M. 2011

Installazione con stoffa bordeaux, stoffa marrone, fili, profumo, carta.

Riflessione sull'attrazione fisica inconscia data dal profumo di una persona.

Che sia artificiale, che sia fisico

l'odore di una persona influisce sulle nostre emozioni.

Un'amore è più intenso, se profumato!

Perchè l'Amore è chimica.

Nel mio amare c'è chimica.

Odore di fiducia, di protezione

odore di pelle calda sotto il sole in un parco.
