    Urban Reliefs 014/015/016 | 2014 - 2016

In the series on canvas born since 2013, is clear how my attention is moving on the -sky prospectives- of urban vision and nature vision space. The wax forms are slow process of materials layers, from geometric figures to geometric forms, the interaction between 2D picture space and 3D sculpture space find a balance through wax on canvas so called "stratification" or "reliefs". The issues addressed in this work is the delicate relationship between the urban and natural environment. The work has been created thank to my personal interest for the architecture, the anthropology and the archeology, in search of our ancient origins; by posing in front of an evolution of the human race rather weak, disrespectful of the only available environment that is home, the earth. The serie of works on the urban reliefs is articulated in various cycles. The various stages of the work, addresses several points of view of the research; the journey to discover some sites, the current condition of the same, (often overwhelmed by the course of nature over time), the problem of the dating of many of them, until the loss of certain hazardous to human causes. A series of works is devoted to the problem of obstruction of academic thought, which often tends to alter the actual historical dating of archaeological sites, having difficulty in the detection of anti diluviane civilization evolved on our planet continue to disseminate erroneous historical data that cloud truth about our origins.
