Drawing artistic sensibilities
An arid soil was my foundation for a fertile imagination where I developed my
artistic perception like a "third eye" shedding light into the darkness. I started early
just after overcoming the age of a toddler drawing horses, pirates, Zorro and
a other
marvels.
I grew up mainly surrounded by female figures: by the record my m
mother,
other, my
cousins, and nine aunts. My father who was unanimously recognized mastering an
outstanding singing voice vanished quite suddenly out of my life. His artistic
sensibility
ibility is something I although inherited. I can still recall waking up in the
morning at the echo of his soothing and harmonious voice sounding in my mind
like a warm embrace while
ile singing a beautiful Neapolit
Neapolitan
an tune named la "La
Montagna" (the Mountain). However excelling in a different artistic field, I can
feel how he transmitted his musical pathos into the touch of my brush through his
DNA, influencing my way of painting with the ancient Italic classical heritage,
heritage still
running in my veins.
