"The work is inspired by a lettering design of three-dimensional cubes with which to write and interact live that I have created in these two years, a project born from the desire to stimulate people's minds with attention towards those who suffer from hardships, neurological or communication problems, from children to the elderly.

From this lettering entitled “WRITE!”, I created the series of paintings “READ!”, works in which, even if born from a completely different procedure and research, one can also perceive a link with one of the Masters who most loved me. gives inspiration, Alighiero Boetti.

The work proposed here, "ABC", represents an alphabet and a series of numbers inserted in reverse order, a positive message that wants to draw attention to the fact that in life things can be seen and faced with stubbornness even when they do not follow the usual "standards" to which we are accustomed and which are dictated to us by society.

While in the lettering WRITE! the interaction and creation of new words through the cubes was favoured, in the paintings of the READ! series, since the letters are already inserted in a scheme, it is my intention to create curiosity on the part of the viewer to lead him to reading what the painting represents , words that are not immediately understandable or proposed from a different perspective than the one we are normally used to.

Today's world has accustomed us to looking, reading and writing hastily, as if in a countdown. To read READ! you have to stop, read letter by letter, word by word and imagine how you would like to compose it in total freedom."
