Four seasons è una serie di opere pittoriche dipinte in camera oscura attraverso procedimenti chimici su poliesteri trasparenti e carte emulsionate lucide. Le opere sono un omaggio alla poetica pittorica di Monet basata sull'immediatezza della percezione visiva e sul tentativo di catturare l'attimo fuggente. Questo principio crea un parallelo con i meccanismi emozionali che si innescano alla comparsa di ricordi improvvisi, e all’incapacità di afferrarli. La scelta dei supporti lucidi utilizzati fa sì che lo spettatore e l’ambiente circostante possano sommarsi e fondersi con l’opera, animandola. Il paesaggio diventa contenitore di percezioni instabili, dove l’immagine non rimane fissa, ma diventa liquida e cangiante e, di conseguenza, non può mai esaurire l'esperienza visiva ed emozionale. Il colore gioca con la luce e sostituisce il disegno come strumento costruttivo e, come in Monet, la voluta perdita del contorno fa sì che l’opera si costruisca e si dissolva continuamente nella percezione in una realtà volubile, riconfigurando la superficie in un campo cromatico in continua evoluzione.

Four Seasons is a series of paintings created in the darkroom through chemical processes on transparent polyester and glossy emulsion-coated paper. The works pay homage to Monet’s painterly approach, grounded in the immediacy of visual perception and the attempt to capture the fleeting moment. This principle parallels the emotional mechanisms triggered by the sudden emergence of memories and our inability to grasp them. The choice of glossy supports allows the viewer and the surrounding environment to merge with the work, bringing it to life. The landscape becomes a container for unstable perceptions, where the image does not remain fixed but becomes fluid and shifting and, consequently, can never exhaust the visual and emotional experience. Colour interacts with light and replaces drawing as a constructive tool. As in Monet’s work, the deliberate loss of contours means that the work is continually constructed and dissolved through perception within a volatile reality, reconfiguring the surface as an ever-evolving chromatic field.
