The unreal places are imaginary projections that are configured in a space which is real but has been altered, where a detail or an atmosphere offers the key for a change in dimension.
What I tried to represent is the possibility of interpretation of situations that are known but that can become something analogue, recognizable but not livable, just the place to rest a thought. There, there will be a multiplication and alteration of the fixed realities into something parallel which will never meet, or will just be brushed.
Some of these paintings were generated by a single image, or derived from a dream, as in La città si stendeva dall’inizio del giorno fino al calar del sole, and Le case insalubri (these houses are situated under the road surface, in the containers marked with a ring), Le bibite, London’s dream, le tre lune, lune sul lago, la processione delle lune, il risveglio analogo, etc.
The fantastic dimension is researched with unusual techniques like the image transfer using trichloroethylene (Noi tre, and La casa del signore di Horn), or with effects given from dried glue like Sette quadretti. Rien ne remplace un ami fidèle and Snow fire, on the other hand, use the first impermeable cover of wax colours and tempera, but are then completed graphically with crayons, pastels or ink pens.
