Alex Bertaina – The Rays of Lipari

£4,650.00

A memory often arises in me when I come home. A picture where I see a pristine landscape in which prevails a diffused warm lighting that envelops everything.

This desire to work in pristine landscapes, unspoiled by man has been with me since my childhood. I tried to create my own world in the jumble of scribbles made by my classmates.

In my work I portray the tension and stress of modern living where nothing ever stands still and we are quickly overwhelmed by the frenzy of passing time.

I do not surrender to it and I seek for purity in a contaminated place due to human intervention on the environment , where the profit was not able to defend the territory causing him serious injuries.

Elizabeth Planca described my work thus: “Composition that mingles perspective planes in an almost futurist simultaneity but without movement and fury. In their place, the quiet of memory.”

I seek for this movement with cuts of light that often cross my work. This represents a guiding light or big arms wrapped around trees, houses, roads and waterways, segmenting nature and making it react using a juxtaposition of colours.

Vertical or horizontal cuts and superimposing interplays, dismantled and dense images that look like rainbow geometries full of light and colour; which reflects its vibrancy and brilliance.

Painting is for me this dreamed landscape.

Dimensions 120 × 120 cm
