This is my first rework; cathedral looks like it were hidden by a lot of tiles ....... couloured tile (azulejos) are everywhere in Lisboa!!!
The following is my second trial ..... I am not satisfied yet

At the end here it is the finished work, tiles are like another cathedral which slowly decomposes .......... complementary colours praise joy and happiness of that journey.

In the winter of 2004 I have been in South of Spain...... sun..... blue sky, sea, Wonderful buildings, styles which recall
fabulous tales from the Arabian Nights .....

I sketched soon some drawings of particulars I was impressed by


In such a way I gave birth to " Granada"

In my work I represent landscapes not like photos but worked out through memory. Colours are the real protagonists; nevertheless I use them not like they appear in nature but a way that better responds to memory needs.
I have a serene vision of life, so that my memories are happy, joyful. Therefore in my works I bring bright colours in contrast each other to show my gladness.
In last ten years I addressed my interest also toward Architecture, surely due to my university studies (I took my degree at Faculty of Architecture at Politecnico di Milano, back in the late 1971). With colour however I enrich, and sometimes I transfigure, the precise lines of buildings and, again, I keep from them the main aspects to rework them later through filter of memory.
In my works I often superimpose shapes and lines and coloured outlines just like memories which in the mind throng and overlap making sensations.
Particularly in paintings dedicated to Milan, the town where I was born, instead of staying onto irksomeness of its roads and buildings, I put my attention on evocative aspects drawing warm colours like red and orange close to grey, showing in such a way my love for a friendly place: antonomastically the place of my memories.

I found that acrilic colours fully respond to my technical needs. I always use acrilic colours onto canvas, with large areas of flat colour to remove every photographic reference to reality and to bring attention only to the way in which colours are drawn each other.
At the beginning of my activity I used mainly warm colours, like yellows and oranges, the colours of light; later on I enlarged my palette moving from prevailing yellow tones to hard and bright colours combinations.
I am overall interested in the figures to give value to each colours in connection with other colours and to give value to colours of figures in relation with colours of background. In such a way each colour acquires its real meaning.
