Sedimentation for 19th Century Room at the Querini

A “Sedimentation” hung over the door in the nineteenth-century room of the picture gallery. In this work, above all I concentrated on the flower in the Milesi figure’s hair, which I saw as a palette on which the painter had thought out all of his colours. It was like the place where the artist had cleaned his brushes.

Relating
This series of pictures regards all of those paintings which sprang from an external request. They thus derive from having come into contact with the mood of someone else’s palette and of having displayed the chromatic impressions one layer on top of the other or placed alongside one of my pre-existing paintings. Usually it is a question of having related to another artist’s painting, but what also occasionally happens is that I compare myself with another language, for example a literary one, or that I am inspired by a city. This series of paintings can also spring from a form of commissioning, in other words the work I am weighing myself up against can be determined by someone else.

Painting
Opere pittoriche a olio o acrilico su diversi supporti, ma prevalentemente su tela
