Wandering Sardinia, this little known Italy
You are invited to explore my paintings, drawings, photography, prints, iPod videos, and Internet installations as they reflect on life in Sardinia and Italy. I offer personalized workshops for painters and photographers interested in discovering the secret of this unique island.
Most of this beautiful island is unknown and unspoiled in its natural beauty with few tourists. I live in this less touristy part of Sardinia, on a mountain, in a small village built in the crater of an extinct volcano, living as a painter and photographer of landscapes and seascapes.
Floating on the Edge of Europe
As a painter and photographer, there is something about the physicality of this location, Sardinia, that calls to me, beckoning me to explore its beauty, its unique blend of arid vistas, mountains, and rocky coasts that seem precariously balanced between the sea and the sky. An island in the middle of the Western Mediterranean, part of Italy, but floating on the edge of both Italy and Europe.
Here in Sardinia much is lying just below the surface, unseen, hidden. It fosters my curiosity. My interest is in the expression of this hidden structure, these barely visible traces of the many thousands of years of interaction between humans, the land, and the sea here in Sardinia, that manifests itself in color and form on the surface of a canvas, photo, and in Internet/iPod videos.
