Des couleurs et des formes qui s’effeuillent, un livre de vie. Des émanations spontanées semblables à ce souffle de vie de nos paysages corses. Souvent de la joie à cœur ouvert où les rouges et orangers nous transportent ; mais avec le bonheur, aussi des moments d’abandons cachés par les noirs et gris. Et puis ce bleu ; ah ! magnifique, magique il nous attire par son soyeux et nous retient par sa force.

1. =0D==0D1) Hello Pierre =and welcome to LandEscape. To start this
interview I would =pose you my usual ice breaker question: what in
your opinion defines a =work of Art? Moreover, what could be the
features that mark the =contemporariness of an artwork? As an
abstract painter, I was =wondering if in your opinion there's still an
inner dichotomy =between Tradition and Contemporary...
=0D
=0D2) Would you like to tell us something about your background?
Are there =particuIar experiences that has deeply impacted on your
evolution as an =artist? Moreover, how have your studies in
Philosophy impacted on your =art practice?
=0D
=0D3) Before starting to elaborate about your production, would you
like to =tell to our readers something about your process and set up
for making =your artworks? In particular, what technical aspects do
you mainly focus =on your work? And how much preparation and time
do you put in before and =during the process of creating a piece?
=0D
=0D4) Now let's focus on theworks that our readers have started to
admire =in these pages: I would like to start with Canale and
=Anima: would you lead us through the development of these pieces?
=And what was your initial inspiration?
=0D
=0D5) Another pieces of yours on which I would like to spend some
words are =Infranisatu, Rossu and especially La =Porte, a piece
that has absolutely struck on me. As our readers =can recognize,a
recirrent visual of these interesting paintings is the =intense red,
which plays a role that I would dare to define "=rythmic": especially in
La Porte, it plays as an impredictable, =human element that breaks
the geometry of the background...
=0D=
=0D6) As I can read in your artist's statement, =paintings are the
projection of our own =imagination. Each table is a meeting with our
dreams... =this makes me think about the role that our perception
plays in =the creative process: not only as concerning the creation of
an artwork, =but also and especially about the elaboration of an
aesthetics that lead =us to the enjoyment of it... So I would like to ask
you if in =your opinion personal experience is an absolutely
indespensable =part of a creative process... Do you think that a
creative process could =be disconnected from direct experience?
=0D
=0D7) A feature of your paintings that has particularly impressed me
is the =energy that springs from the colors that you mix with
=skilfullness on your canvas: this is particularly evident in

2. =Staghjone and it establishes a symbiosis, such a dialog between
=the abstract shapes, instead of the sense of contrast that we are
used =to see in abstract art... by the way, any comment about the
evolution of =your palette in the years?
=0D
=0D8) It might seem obvious that -rather than what sometimes
happens in =figurative arts, where the background often plays a
passive role, in =order to support the "subject" of the painting- in
abstract arts=, the distinction between "main subject" vs
"background=" is not so relevant... and since our magazine is entiled
"=LandEscape" I couldn't do without asking you: what is the
=significance of the landscape and -in a wider meaning, of the
=background- in your Art practice?
=0D
=0D9) So far your artworks have been exhibited in several =occasion,
and you're going to have an exhibition at Art =Takes, in Miami:
moreover, I =think that it's important to mention that you received
the Medal Gild =from the Board of Directors of the European Institute
of =Contemporary Arts... I sometimes ask to myself - and to =the
artists that I happen to interview, indeed - how much important =is
the role of a positive feedback... besides providing of a =psicological -
and often a material- support, do you think that it =could influence an
artist's process? Have you ever happened to think to =whom will enjoy
your Art when you conceive your pieces?
=0D=
=0D10) Thank you for sharing with us your thoughts, Pierre. My last
=question deals with your future plans: what's next for you?
=Anything coming up for you that you would like readers to be aware
=of?
=0D
