New collaboration with the RARARES Gallery in Dubai
I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase my work in this incredible venue, a true crossroads of cultures.

A selection from my latest series of painted sculptures will be featured.

"L'Art dans la Ville" / "Art in the City"
10th edition
Issoire City Center
I first came to Issoire in 2018 for my solo exhibition, which ran from June to September in the magnificent Salles Jean-Hélion at the Pomel Center. While there, I had the opportunity to explore the city and its main monuments. The place that immediately caught my eye was the Abbey Church of Saint-Austremoine, whose apse reminded me of the Romanesque churches and cathedrals of my native Sicily. But once inside, I was shocked ! The colors struck and dazzled me… For this 10th edition of “Art in the City,” it was the columns of Saint-Austremoine and their colors that stood out to me as the obvious choice.
My proposal was therefore the creation of a column that would be an evocation, a personal interpretation of the columns of Saint-Austremoine and of the way in which the art and artists of yesterday inspire and nourish the art and artists of today. In the 19th century, during its restoration and the decision to paint the interior of the abbey church, the painter Anatole Dauvergne himself drew inspiration from the colors and motifs of the Romanesque period, bringing a new dimension to the building that remains one of its distinctive features to this day.
This column, whose architectural function, thanks to its multiplication, is to support a building, will be presented here as a symbolic support of the connection between the arts and artists over the centuries.
Its title is My Column of Issoire because, in my opinion, it is important that the work have an intimate connection with its creator, with their history, in order to make this work unique and personal.
One of the characteristics of the city of Issoire that struck me during my very first visit was the almost Mediterranean color of the buildings, which is surprising in the heart of Auvergne... Born in Sicily, these warm and luminous hues of the South particularly "speak" to me. The sculptures I present, although made of welded metal, have the appearance and feel of ceramics thanks to the paint and varnish applied to them. For me, this is a reference to the colorful ceramics of Sicily that accompany everyday life and whose vivid colors have influenced my work.
The Fish never seen but which exists refers to the underwater world, still largely unexplored to this day, which harbors in its depths creatures whose existence we may not suspect. As such, it is a metaphor for the buried and unsuspected treasures of imagination, dreams, and creation. Passionate about astrology, I had not failed to admire the medallions in the apse of the Saint-Austremoine Abbey representing the zodiacal signs : my fish is also an evocation of them.
I am in a phase of my work where my desire is to bring form and color to life in space, uniting both my work as a painter and that of a sculptor. The pictorial and graphic writing created on the sculptures is very similar to that which characterizes my paintings. This painting offers a completely different way of understanding sculpture, of discovering the "emptiness" and "fullness" and the profiles that constitute the essence of my research as a sculptor. It thus vibrates with a joyful and invigorating rhythm and tumult, where each piece that composes it becomes both form and color in space. It is a dialogue, a permanent back and forth between painting and sculpture, between form and color which encourages the viewer's eye to follow a path which will be personal and specific to each person.

"What could be better than a garden to escape, walk barefoot in the grass, admire the delicacy of the flowers, smell their perfume, pick up a pleasant book and enjoy an aromatic drink in complicity with nature? It is to this “close” journey that I invite you this summer thanks to the work of 5 contemporary artists. In their secret gardens, they create, sow and share. The “Jardins” (Gardens) exhibition will be mixed and unique, a surprising and serene interlude at the heart of Lyon. Mixed between the artists of the gallery and two guests. Singular because they all worked on new artworks.”
