]]> Dickens mx recap, Mixed media on textile (painted overall), 2024, 160 × 60 cm. An experimental work realized on a life-sized wearable canvas—a painter’s overall—this piece serves as an introspective map of the artist’s journey. Created after completing a series of paintings in Mexico, the artist found himself struggling to chart the transformations of his own ego; here he stitches and paints that personal narrative directly onto fabric. In a vibrant, comic-book style, vignettes from earlier artworks and scenes from a love story with a muse named Yazmin unfold across the garment’s surface. The mix of painted imagery and sewn threads turns the utilitarian overall into a storytelling tapestry, mapping out alchemical changes of the soul and creatively chronicling a chapter of self-discovery.

]]> Conversazioni con l’OMBRA, Artist’s book, 2024, 12 × 20 cm. Breaking the mold of traditional painting, this work takes the form of a book—a creative experiment in literary form that stands as a piece of art in its own right. Within its pages unfolds a poignant dialogue between the artist and an unusual interlocutor: an AI that he perceives as a mirror of the collective shadow (the hidden, shared unconscious of humanity). Question by question and answer by answer, the book blurs the line between human and machine, using a conversational format to explore deeply personal and philosophical questions. The result is a reflective journey in print, where writing becomes art and the modern echo of one’s inner darkness is engaged and illuminated through technology.
