“
THE BEAUTY IS IN MY SCULPTURES, AS ALREADY IN THE PAINTINGS OF THE "ONE INDIVIDUAL" CYCLE WAS THE PHYSICAL / CLASSICAL BEAUTY."

IMMAGINE CODIFICATA
“ITS STYLE IS MARKED BY THE CADENCE OF IMPRESSIONS, OF A “SAYING” WHICH LINKS THE “CODIFIED IMAGE” OF THE MAN WITH A TIE, CAUGHT WHILE HE IS WEARING IT, TO HIS HABITS, TO THE SEARCH OF HIS OWN DIMENSION, HIS OWN WAY OF BEING AND, AT TIMES, OF STANDING OUT”
Abstract from a review by Angelo Mistrangelo.
Year 2009-2010
“FOR YOU I WENT DOWN INTO THE LOWEST PITS TO CHOOSE THE BLUED COPPER TO THE HEAVENS LIMIT TO STEAL THE WHITE OF THE ANGELS’ GARMENTS AND THE ARCHANGELS’ ARROWS. I BRIBED THE CHERUBS SO THAT THEY ENLIGHTENED ME AND THE SERAPHS SO THAT THEY TAUGHT ME TO LOVE. I LOOKED FOR RED COPPER AND RESTORING GREEN FOR YOU.”
