What do you think about when you look at the sky?
06 October 2020
A creative draws his
ideas from everything: from the flow of thoughts, from nature, from
the clouds that take strange shapes in the sky. I get gusts of
creativity at any moment, as I drive and look at the curve of the
mountains, as I see a woman laughing, as the fog creates its walls of
dense vapour in the air, as the colours of the fruit thicken the
markets and create a composition between the stalls. Travelling is my
vital element: with the body, with the mind, with the imagination.
Nature is an element
of infinite inspiration. The sea, when storms and the work of water
create compositions of stones and debris. The trees, with weirdly
shaped trunks, that make you wonder how that mass can stand? I
remember my favorite hotel in Sardinia. The spa had a bamboo roof
that let the sun's rays filter through the reeds, making the
atmosphere magical. All asymmetrical,
different from each other. The sun radiated light into the open
spaces, creating a play of chiaroscuro in the room. Every time I came
back to the hotel I experienced with emotion the feeling of
abandonment, of beauty that the sun's rays through the bamboo roof
would give me.
I like bamboo, the
cane forests grow very fast, the stem bends but does not break, it is
a metaphor of life that makes its way at any cost. That's why I
"stole" that sun-drenched ceiling and transferred it to my
bags. The irregular shape of the reeds is modulated by the ebony, or
kiwi coloured, gold profiled leather. Or it
is traced by golden sequins, by an iridescent stroboscopic effect.
