“Through my work I want to
represent the relationships
between colours, shapes and
textures and how I can apply
them to my preferred subjects:
landscapes and human figures,“
enthuses Alessandro.
“Observers of my work can
grasp my point of view and they
are also free to interpret the
subject as they please, and so
they re-create a new piece of
work. Ultimately with my colours,
my drawings, the shapes that
I paint, I suggest a possible
interpretation of reality – mine
- but the case remains open to
the infinite possibilities of the
personal experience of each.“
Alessandro spends a lot of
time thinking and planning each
of his paintings – the patterns
of colours to use, what to
emphasise and what to leave in
the background. He writes notes,
sketches different elements,
exploring both colours and
shadows. The subject is divided
into portions, then recomposed
in a variety of ways to create
several ideas for how the painting
could be structured. This whole
process can take Alessandro
days or even weeks, but when it’s
time to paint, he does it without
a second thought.
Generally, when painting
with watercolours, Alessandro
paints onto handmade paper
that he imports from India.
“It's heavy and wrinkled, it
has a strong personality that
requires much attention and
experience to master it,“ he
notes. When working in acrylic,
he uses canvas. “Acrylics allow
me to work in a manner similar to
watercolours on surfaces other
than paper – and guarantee a
great freedom of expression!“MORE INFORMATION

Bottom right: Alessandro's
new ‘angel‘ series. “I’m trying
to recover ancient techniques
such as fresco. I spread a thin
layer of plaster and paint over
with pigments I find in the
countryside near my studio
to get colours such as ochre.“ARTWORK:THE GIRL WHO SMOKED GAULOISESARTWORK:LIGHT IN THE WOODS; AMAZON CIRCUS; THE HORSE AND ITS MANARTWORK:GOOD MORNING MANHATTANArtist profile
