Artworks

La danza de Moni e Andrea

To create a playful commission and above all to respond to an aesthetic concern, two of my friends, colored birds, Moni and Andrea, give me two frames of lenses to convert them and use them as a basis to create two free form works of art. And concept. As always before any project, I usually plan even the smallest detail to avoid surprises, this is my way of working on projects. In this case not just the idea of having (the black forest) as a motivation and the two colored birds as a goal. I picked up these shapes and discarded them around. Forms without any thought, with no other objective than to have fun as we do with these two friends at great dinners talking about art. Major projects planned and implemented. In other words, finally another experiment that remains an experiment. Thanks to the colorful birds.
