Catalogue Note

Il tuo scritto è molto intelligente, come logico, fra noi vi possono essere delle divergenze che ritengo a tuo favore, sei uomo del tuo tempo.
Vorrei solo aggiungere che le arte, non sono che una delle manifestazioni dell’intelligenza, la ragione di essere “uomo”, non vi può essere evoluzione sociale senza un’evoluzione totale dell’uomo.
Mi piacciono le tue inquietudini, le tue ricerche, i tuoi quadri così profondamente neri, rossi, bianchi, indicano del tuo pensiero, della tua paura.
Non posso che augurarti una carriera “felice” e ricordarti di essere umile, molto umile, nel “tempo” siamo “nulla”.

Your writing is very intelligent, as logical, there may be differences between us that I consider in your favour, you are a man of your time.

I just want to add that art is nothing but one of the manifestations of intelligence, the reason for being "man", there can be no social evolution without a total evolution of man.

I like your uncertainties, your research, your paintings so deeply black, red, white that indicate your thoughts, your fears.

I can only hope for you a "happy" career and remind you to be humble, very humble, in "time" we are "nothing".
