Project Description

Pierluca Cetera

“Painting, for me, is the epiphany of what is hidden and invisible. For this reason, I am inclined to eviscerate and reproduce with brushstrokes, scratches, cuts and various abrasions, the inner travail of the characters depicted. Mine is a kind of complicated psychological ejaculation on canvas, on board or on any other surface that claims my pictorial intervention.”
