Original artwork description:

While painting on the rocks at the Italian Coast near Genoa, I establish a silent dialogue with the sea and its waves that are surrounding me. This arouses in me almost meditative energetic and emotional processes, which I transfer with watercolors.
My painting visualizes an encounter with the mediterranean sea, developing empathy with it and broadening my horizons by sensitizing my perception. I feel the sea current inside me, its perpetual motion.
This leads me to question my concepts of identity and boundaries.
I see my watercolour paintings as scores inspired, at the same time, by the observation of the sea, its influence on me, but also by the musical improvisation I do with my clarinet:
Scores that allow me to establish an immediate contact between physical/ emotional/ energetic sensations and the perception of the whirling sea, as a way to widen the boundaries of this conglomerate that I am calling „me“.
I say thank you to the sea for the openness which it offers to my mind, always reminding me of the archaic origins of mankind literally born in the ocean.
I say thank you to the sea for its friendship.
My paintings are a diary of this friendship. . .
The infinitude of the sea confronts my finitude.
The infinity of the sea opens the space for encounters between energetic sensations and fresh thoughts – how could I caress the ocean, looking for an empathic, less destructive, even affectionate relationship with Nature?
