Footprints and accidents merge with writing and gestures. Memory merges with narrative, and painting merges with archives. The artist takes the modern logic of the multiple original to extremes in a rather novel way. And he unfolds, in a very subtle but mature way, our material understanding of the pictorial surface, enriching his language with artistic techniques that are more related to disciplines such as the restoration and conservation of works of art, museography, or architecture. That vision, typical of Italian Renaissance artists, according to which a painting is an open window (a flow of architectural illusion) is here replaced by a wall, a reflective pond, a wavering body; an archive.
