Project with oil paints on canvas “Men and Men”

The evolution of the male universe appears constant and in step with the times, demonstrating a necessary ability to adapt to environmental changes with an adjustment corresponding to the continuous changes in lifestyles that lead to diversity understood as a resource for further social development. The project entitled Men and Men focuses on the freedom of every man to live through the personal choices that constitute his own personality.

On the other hand, the uniqueness of the human race would lead to a lack of socio-economic and cultural alternatives. The project was created by setting stylized silhouettes and completing them with oil colors on canvas through a free and informal brushstroke with discontinuous and alternating shades. The malleable plasticity of oil colors on canvas, through the preference for different and opposite shades, helps to stabilize the compositional space. The predisposition towards a greater development of the creative dynamic has had over time a continuous development of the stylised silhouettes by inserting further compositional elements into the project which currently takes shape with the inclusion of thick beards necessary to identify similarities with the Asian look.

L’interesse costante e duraturo per un look asiatico si rivela non essere una semplice tendenza orientale, ma una scelta personale che si discosta dagli schemi convenzionali. Diversity of aesthetic choices that strengthen common resources are necessary for the further social development of the evolution of the human race.
