Iridescence  #19, #24 (Blanket)

An enigmatic, ambiguous form, a reflection of the concept of surface, between two-dimensionality and three-dimensional space; a perceptual movement generated on a surface that is no longer such. A composition played on the idea of rhythm: there are various lines (or cells) that alternate, creating harmonies and rhythmic times. The space is deeper or closer.

Iridescence #20 (Compenetration)

Like a meeting between sky and earth, or a female and a male figure, two opposite forms of direction and color meet and compenetrate each other, generating a transformation of the space. These two bodies (or two forms) are made in horizontally stretched wires, placed on different levels and painted in different shades of manganese blue and magenta red (from intense dark to bright light), creating a visual perception of spatial movement decomposition. The two forms intensify from the top down, in the direction of the arrowhead.

Iridescence #21 (Weaving)

Iridescence #22 (Fata Morgana)

I imagine Fata Morgana (or the Empire of Lights) inside a drop of water. It is like a double city, built in itself and in its reflection. The two parts are so identical as to confuse them. Sometimes it is not clear which is the top and which is the below. It is a city that is the identical copy in every detail, but it is a mirror image of itself. What we see are triangles of light and reflections: they vibrate, as in the reflection of Fata Morgana, the illusion of the mirage in the desert. Who knows if it really exists.

Iridescence #23 (Coincidence)

Coincidence is a reflection and elaboration of the concept of "coincidence": understood as a completely casual meeting of various elements, or as the constitution of an "event" established a priori. Some scientists have theorized that the creation of our planet Earth and then the formation of life are the result of countless coincidences that occurred in succession, as a programmed mechanism and not simply a succession of randomness. Then starting from some pictorial studies on light by Giacomo Balla and some musical pieces composed by Terry Riley, I symbolically took up the light spectrum and its movement generated by geometric and mathematical elements repeated in space.
