Marco Pariani
The work by Marco Pariani is in constant flux between abstraction and figuration. Titles offer keys to possible doors in the paintings. Gestures, marks, layers, maps, and colour associations encourage mental expeditions. Creation, destruction, beauty, banality, rhythm, and void converge on canvas. A vivid, intuitive language building on deep tradition but offering eclectic and radical possibilities for the future of painterly expression. Subject and object disintegrate, and the works appear as fragmented contemporary contemplations.
