S'è fatto nero ed ho usato il colore

Series of four sculptural paintings — 2025

 

This series was born from old family bed sheets—soft, intimate materials that once touched my skin in childhood.

Now torn, dyed, stitched and rearranged, they return as fragments of a body: self, skin, finger and heart.

 

The fabrics are fragile yet resilient. Color stains them like memory—bright, bruised, unresolved.

Each mark, each seam is a gesture of care that doesn’t try to fix, but to hold.

In the contrast between light and shadow, softness and rupture, the works explore personal and collective thresholds: what we inherit, what we carry, what we outgrow.

​​

Composed of four textile-based pieces, the series unfolds as a spatial installation, where each element enters in silent dialogue with the others. These are not simply paintings, but material bodies, marked by time, gesture and presence.

​

This series is a way of staying close.
To what shaped me, what marked me.
Cloth becomes language—soft, broken, unfinished.
