The narcissistic relationship with the waters of Lake Lugano, indicates the authors desire to find a common link between the physical reflection of the face and the deeper psychological reflection with all its consequences: from ecstatic beauty to self doubt. An eastern influence characterizes all the works on display. The use of gold leaf and ultramarine blue in some works amplifies the aesthetic and conceptual result. Berenice is the name of some of the large works, where the stars and planets come together around the ecstatic gaze of a “she” whose face remains hidden from the observer. In this way the mystery of the drawing merges with the complexity of the subject. A perfect short circuit of exemplary technique and the search for new content in the past, present and future of design.
