Having passed through an embryonic period as a street artist in the 1990s and up until the encounter with Baldo Diodato, around 2007, my painting focused on the search for an essential pictorial style, in the figurative field.
It was thanks to the long conversations with Baldo in his studio at Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, in Piazza del Collegio Romano (at that time it was unimaginable for me that one day we would share it to work, as actually happened a few years later), that I began to embrace the concept of abstraction. And I undertook that painful but necessary process of simplification.
At the time - I had just returned from New York, where I had moved for a year and had come into contact with the emerging community of Dumbo, Brooklyn - I was experimenting with painting on plexiglass (made even more complex by the fact that I wanted to use tempera at all costs as a working tool, requiring countless adjustments): I was intrigued by the possibilities offered by the transparency of the medium, which allowed me to imbue, on the potential canvas, a dual perspective of color.
Meanwhile, Baldo told me about his New York, about the first studio he shared with Mario Ceroli, about his friendship with Marcel Duchamp, about his early experiments with frottage.
My painting, around 2015, had changed profoundly. I began to experiment with some forms of scraping on the still fresh color, in search of a semi-figurative code. From these studies, the collection of illustrations for Dante's Inferno was born, created in 2021. Considering it a point of arrival, I then abandoned the subsequent manipulation of the image, leaving the development of the canvas solely to the automatic process of creation, rethinking the entire previous work as an approach to a new form of automatism, different from the Austrian transautomatism of Hundertwasser which was also
inspired by it, and which I have therefore renamed Ultransautomatism.
