Artist Statement for Alberto Martorana
|
|
|
Each of my projects corresponds to a thread in my life. Each of them is related to how my sense of reality is impacted by what I’m living. There’s an intimate connection between the drama in my life and the drama in my work. The connection is not necessarily an obvious one, but a symbolic one.
The symbols are drawn from different traditions; their insertion into my projects has a lot to do on how they provide support and connection to the reality I live.
Conceptually, my art is an expression associated to my personal circumstances but not a representation of them. It is a quest for wholeness, especially at moments in which my emotions and reason antagonize. Art for me is neither a ritual nor an opportunity for psychoanalysis. A ritual implies a covenant; psychoanalysis implies a search for a remedy. Art for me, is neither a negotiation nor a solution, it’s a process of realization.
I think, I draw, I paint, I play…
It’s my way of finding sense to life. What is that fuels of my art? My mortality does. It’s possible to forget my inadequacies as long as I’m here and now fulfilling my dreams.
For me composing is a game of infinite possibilities, and it’s intuitive.
I think, I draw, I paint, I play…
There are no rules and I don’t take prisoners. The process is important; the results have to have a life of their own.
In projecting my work to the world, I hope the viewer will be touched by my work in unexpected ways, and keep coming back to it to discover things in it as a whole as in the details.
