It's a journey through appearances, where every flat color has been carefully considered, where every guideline (or lack of one) carries meaning, and where every visual allegory gives way to an enigma. The enigma of color as canvas. The enigma of the space to be painted. Riddle of the form that seems "simplified to the point of obviousness. The riddle of reality and its possibilities of being. The enigma of the omnipotence of color, of the primary horizontality of drawing that reveals itself on the easel, in an ultimate verticality. Valerio Adami. A philosopher's eye.
