"Taking flight". How to make a painting three-dimensional? How to occupy the space? Five layers of paint, each on a separate surface. The layers slip away, they move, they are out of axis. A painting that develops three-dimensionally, coming away from the wall towards us. "...and yet made of painting, a painted relief, a full sculpture: here it seems caught... halfway, on the verge of coming away from the wall and taking on a three-dimensional body..." "... here, in the ‘gruppo dello spiritello’, the object assumes not only the complete and independent power of an actual relief, but, more importantly, rather than moving within the dimensional limits of the painted wall, it goes beyond the wall and comes into direct contact with the viewer; it goes to meet them..."
