My art projects
Within my art projects I strive to push the boundaries between Japanese traditional painting experimental techniques, driven by the unconventional mixing and new use of Japanese pigments, gold leaf and Japanese laquers. My personal language of expression is unguided by traditional painting rules resulting in an assembly of reality and dreams. They are layered in a continous state of transformation, infused with a contemporary yet poetic aesthetic.
All'interno dei miei progetti artistici mi spingo oltre i confini delle tecniche utilizzate nella pittura tradizionale giapponese, guidato dalla miscelazione non convenzionale e dal nuovo uso di pigmenti giapponesi, foglia d'oro e lacche giapponesi. Il mio personale linguaggio espressivo è svincolato dalle regole della pittura tradizionale, risultando in un assemblaggio di realtà e sogno. Sono stratificati in un continuo stato di trasformazione, intrisi di un'estetica contemporanea ma poetica.
Japan, and especially the City of Kyoto, have always had a strong connotative meaning for us. Kyoto, being rich in tradition, has become one of our privileged places as a source of great inspiration. Travelling throughout Japan for over a decade, made it possible for us to discover ancient artistic traditions and traditional craft techniques. This, in turn, stimulated and inspired our choice of going in depth, exploring and experimenting with new techniques, very much influencing and motivating the concept of our projects and creations.
