"I TRIED TO TAKE A STEP BACK AND REDISCOVER MY ROOTS, LOOKING FOR WHAT HAD MADE ME PASSIONATE ABOUT ART: MANUAL SKILLS AND ARTISANAL FIGURATION."

STYLE
EXPRESSION
"IN THE ARTISTIC MOMENT IN WHICH A CERTAIN CONCEPTUAL SYNTHESIS SEEMS TO WANT TO SHIPWRECK IN THE AGE OF IMAGE, TECHNOLOGY SOMETIMES BRINGS TO LIGHT A SORT OF FIGURATION, BUT BY EXILEDING MANUAL SKILL.
THE NUMBER OF ARTISANS PRODUCING MAJOLICA USING PHOTOCERAMICS IS GROWING, THE SCULPTURAL RESOLUTION OF NUMERICALLY CONTROLLED MACHINES IS PROGRESSING, AND SOME MACHINES EVEN ALLOW THE PRODUCING OF FRESCOES USING INNOVATIVE 3D PRINTERS.
IN THIS MODERNIZATION, MAKING AN ARTIFICIAL PRODUCT WITH TRADITIONAL METHODS IS AN ALMOST ANACRONISTIC ACTION, GIVING VALUE AND MEMORY TO THESE PROCEDURES IS A CONCEPTUAL OPERATION.
REPRODUCTION BY CASTING, TECHNICALLY CALLED "MOULDING", IS AN ANCIENT PROCEDURE USED TO PRODUCE COPIES OF SCULPTURAL ELEMENTS IN VARIOUS MATERIALS. WITH THE PASSAGE OF TIME, TECHNOLOGY HAS MADE THIS TECHNIQUE MORE AND MORE EFFICIENT AND PRACTICAL, BUT IT IS NOW CLOSE TO BEING REPLACED BY PROCESSES SUCH AS PHOTOGRAMMETRY AND 3D PRINTING, WHICH WILL SOON BE FASTER AND CHEAPER THAN CLASSIC TECHNIQUES.
MY INTENTION IN SUMMARY IS TO MAKE THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS A PRODUCT."
