My photographs, paintings, collages and writings assemble through albums, fictions and diaries. The streets of Naples or the lines of the desert are the canvas for imaginary films from which I tell the story, depict the motifs and want to capture each sound. Influenced by the grain and rhythm of Cassavetes and by Giacomelli’s expressionist photography, I assemble my images, emphasize the contrasts, paradoxes and the graphic depiction of ordinary life. My images become the album covers of Wonderland Stereo and the watercolors of my Diaries. The CVS cashier or the cowboy passing by on Hollywood Boulevard are the characters of my poems. The radio, the helicopters and the howling of coyotes that I record are recomposed in a “Sound-Collage”. In Tangier, I paint flowers, mosaics and the blue city that I have yet not seen. I draw the wild mustangs running in the plains, I cut and recompose my paintings through collages. A California sky, wings of birds, filaments of sunsets, elements of the desert. The search for my true aesthetics are a natural response to emotions, tensions and desires. Each sequence of my work are the juxtaposition of these essential elements of my reality, between the American West and the Mediterranean.
