AARDS

Distinguished Portraits are digital interventions of historical portrait paintings. They are digital works. I cover the protagonists faces using naturalistic elements. Taking into account the special characteristics of the painting, I transform the individual identities of the painting itself. I replace the original human features with the ones of fruits or plants, by doing so I try to incorporate a contemporary discourse on nature and society into historical paintings. The Distinguished Portraits are a contemporary view on art history introducing a simple question to the equation, what if nature would have been at the centre of our conversations throughout history? By giving a human resemblance to nature’s elements I want to debate the anthropocentric view of our current society underlining the importance of plants in our everyday life. The experiments serve as reminder of a simple fact, plants account up to 85% of the biomass present on planet earth, we, the humans including the animals, represent only the 0.3% (source “La pianta del mondo” by Stefano Mancuso). Maybe we could reconsider our importance and priorities in the world.

GRADIENTS is an experiment that intends to merge the analogical vision of the finest artists with the contemporary world and its digital language through an element that often occurs as a glitch, the gradient. In this attempt the idea is to render the well known protagonists of the paintings to a mass of stains, blurs and patches, resulting in a synthesis of its original image like the one apperaring in the second half of the 19th century in Italy in the artistic movement of the Macchiaioli. Beside the game of guessing who’s hiding behind the glitches the idea is to introduce the contemporary digital view within the realm of fine arts.

Official music video commissioned by CantAutori for new single “Molo Audace”.


A song about memories of a particular place, Trieste.

Memories are like dreams. When we try to remember a place or something the images we have are always amplified by our imagination. The emotions tighten to the place enrich our own memories, they decorate it with new elements, they reinvent reality as it is making it like a dream or and illusion, everything suddenly becomes surreal.

In the video the images, we have hidden in the memories, flow like dreams carried by the wind. In Trieste the wind is a very strong and present element and it carries everything through the mountains, the city, the sea. So the dreams become seagulls surfing the wind.
