Art Gate 4 The Incredible Art Voyages of Swallow Boy

With the digital photowork series i create an anti hero character being Swallow Boy as an alter ego for my imagination being separated from my realistic self ,on a day drinking wine on my terrace in North Italy when a restless but tired swallow flies against my temple. This collision creates swallow boy who wants to create gates  of artworks,gates to a painted fantasy into the heads of eternal living artists. Gates to escape in a Lord Byronian way,gates to find unexpected answers in beauty and illusion,today is the first day of the rest of my life

SHORT BIOGRAPHY OF THE ARTIST

He considers himself a digital artist, a sculptor of weightless moving sculptured male and female bodies or as a 21st century renaissance painter of characters. With the means of today and tomorrow. Quoting, antidating and combining, then creating new images with new meaning, but not a fixed oneway meaning. Great abstraction is within the works of painters as Caravaggio,Titiaan, Zurbaran, Rubens, Rembrandt, El Greco, Velasquez, Goya and a lot of others, capturing the essence of human interaction in a still moment which expresses the timeless importance of the awareness of a before and after, as well as during.... the absolute abstraction of realism. As an artist and a teacher people (a school for example) work with him for an indefinite period in different ways in which he creates an environment for making these moving paintings as a result of art, theatre, choreography, poetry literature and sound, among others coming together as interpretations and quotes in a new meaning. Mental weightlessness is an issue he thrives for and in this way images can be words or created by words as well. So can the digital photo or videoworks transform into a. Zaum poem-like combination of words and images he wants to work on. The image goes back in universal symbols of (meta)language which allows the reader or listener to become a watcher of his own skies. Lineair Understanding is slightly overestimated
