AMORE. SEMPRE.

SOLO SHOW
ARTIST STATEMENT
Amore. Sempre. Love, Always A quiet truth nestled in the arms of napoli, where time slows beneath a generous sun. In this body of work, i look towards the poetic simplicity of long lives, rich in fleeting moments. An image I always return to when i take the time to close my eyes, like a resonance of a silhouette against a summer sun - elders basking beneath golden rays, their skin woven with stories of salt, sea, and sunlight, their wrinkles a delicate map of belly laughs, loss and mundanity. Cigarette smoke curls into gentle elegies of the past, lingering gently, an amber lens through which the world filters. A thought I always return to.
THROUGH THESE WORKS, WE LOOK AT THE DELICATE BEAUTY OF TOGETHERNESS, AND THE UNSPOKEN RESILIENCE OF LIFE'S SIMPLEST JOYS: THE COMFORT OF FAMILIAR FACES, THE ENDURING BONDS OF FAMILY, THE TRANQUILITY OF FISHING LINES CAST INTO CALM WATERS, SMILING AT A PASSERBY. EACH WORK IS A MEDITATION ON LIFE'S LATER CHAPTERS, REVEALING HOW LOVE ENDURES IN THE SMALLEST GESTURES, IN SHARED SILENCE, AND IN HONEST AND UNWAVERING COMPANIONSHIP.
AMORE. SEMPRE. IS A NODE TO THE TIMELESS RHYTHMS OF NAPLES. A LOVE LETTER TO THOSE WHO DANCE IN LIFE'S GOLDEN HOUR, WHO TEACH US HOW TO SAVOUR DEEPLY, LOVE QUIETLY, AND FIND PROFOUND BEAUTY IN THE GRACE OF AGING.
AMORE. SEMPRE.
