In the March 2026 issue nr 27, page 19 of the art magazine Solaria, directed by critic, journalist, and writer Alfio Borghese, an in-depth feature is dedicated to my artistic path and the sensory project Fragments. The article is written by Rossana Cosci, lawyer, writer, historical researcher, and art curator.
The editorial contribution examines my research as an evolving system, where matter, gesture, and perception merge into a distinctive and recognizable language. The Frammenti project is presented as an experience that goes beyond a single medium, expanding across text, image, sound, and the physical presence of the artwork.
The article also highlights my editorial journey. The novel Petals of Life and the poetry collection Viaggio senza confini dentro l’anima e la materia viva represent two complementary narrative directions, rooted in the same sensory and introspective foundation.
My research further develops through the Encyclopedia of Light and matter, a series of catalogues dedicated to my bas-reliefs, created with the smussato technique, using hands and spatulas, and organic materials. The works extend from canvas to wearable garments, where matter becomes a living surface.
During the presentation of the project in an international gallery, this language evolved into a performative event. At the end of the presentation, a fashion show featured selected garments on which I created bas-reliefs using palette knifes and organic materials. The pieces were worn by a model, turning the body into a direct extension of the artwork, set to the musical notes of one of the tracks from the sensory album Frammenti, Oltre i confini.
The performance was interpreted by Alisia Giajvia, an artist's daughter, an eclectic and multidisciplinary figure active in music, singing, and playing musical instruments, as well as acting and voice acting, alongside film production and direction, and visual practice spanning painting and drawing.
Another level of the project involves sound: poetic texts are transformed into musical compositions, maintaining coherence with the overall artistic vision.
This feature in Solaria marks a significant step in consolidating a path that integrates multiple languages into a unified and coherent research.
