I represent the character of the net, an immense depot of images and of experiences. I survey the electroludic world in order to reinvent the ideas of space, place and presence.
The tablet pen is the first step of my work. I paint by hand using the pen tablet instead of a classic pencil. It is a starting point for digital prints, drawings and paintings on canvas. I adopt a “flat” style to celebrate the postmodern passion for the surfaces composed of 0 and 1 or millions of bit.
Through the designers of videoludic worlds, virtual spaces, objects and representations of the computer reality I choose to reassert the contemporaneity of genre considered obsolete, like the portrait or the landscape.
With a work of translation and iconographic research I rewrite the image of contemporary media. I follow a path that does not want to be other that an evolution, of the way of painting today.
What I do is an update of the pop aesthetics, sifting the information landscape that surrounds me, choosing a series of images sublimated through the vector drawing technique.
