The artist draws from Italian fashion magazines of the 1990s — publications, editorials, advertisements — to construct a true archaeology of contemporary desire. The selection of clippings is surgical. Each figure is not chosen for its isolated iconic value, but for its ability to generate connections. Female bodies, accessories, automobiles, logos, and bold typographic words — “Freedom,” “Make,” “USA,” “Fantasia” — function as semantic nodes. The viewer is drawn in by a seductive image, a gaze, a pose, and then carried elsewhere, along visual trajectories that connect different fragments.
Depth is not perspectival but stratigraphic. Layers overlap, creating multiple planes of interpretation: eroticism, luxury, identity, aspiration, economic power.
The imagery of fashion — seemingly light — reveals itself as one of the primary constructors of collective identity. The body is not just a body: it is language, promise, social projection.
Painting does not frame the collage — it destabilizes it. Color invades, contaminates, connects. It transforms advertising into a field of aesthetic tension.
