An artist expresses always his
spirit towards his emotions,
thoughts, feelings and, matters.
He bears this knowledge inside
himself, more or less aware of
it. It is part of his condition; it is
something ingrained in his state
of being. The artist investigate to
bring to light something that it is
hidden to the normal sight, as an
eye – as pure physic sensor – can’t
see. In few words, the artist always
tries – or looks for – a way to see
more concentrate through things
and reality, inside the things, for
the reality.
To question about what the public
can appreciate or feel the most-
therefore capable of conducing the
single fruitier to a more profound
reflection, it is undoubtedly a post-
modernist action, maybe even a
bit spoilt if not vicious. The soul of
an artist can still do a lot for him:
it can push him to choose which
direction to take, or how to adapt
his work and himself to the most
various and different situations,
or, again, to trans-form. An art that
emerges because of the fusion of
the pars construes with collective
intervention. It is the context,
the framework that allows art to
open itself to new territories of
investigation and then overcome
its partial vision of the world.
