"Guardando Attraverso". A new money painting.

Here is a photo of my new painting. I worked to get this for my new collection of money paintings. What do you think?


At this moment I am creating -together with my brother- a set of 15 paintings with subject the money which my vision is to show in an exposition organized totally by me. The expo title will be "Your Life" but it’s a word still to consider. If you have some ideas about that, let me know!

In these paintings my inspiration comes from the life I live and the world I live in. My vision of the
world and society. As these paintings are an expression of how the world is through the eyes of
an artist like me and Daniele. We both agree vastly on the subject fortunately. That's the advantage of being brothers who have passed almost their entire life together and experienced the same situations. In the money paintings I am also trying to trigger a reaction (positive or negative) from every person who looks at it. Their meaning may be more important then mine.

Being a vastly debatable subject I know there is a lot to say on this. What money means for every single person, but also how does it affect the people in general. It's interesting to see how a simple piece of paper bill can attract the reaction of many. I am just so curios to know what people think about this. what is their idea about it...

I've been lately analyzing and studying the words of an Italian philosopher and independent film maker Silvano Agosti. He was the direct inspiration in starting this, I may also say. Even though the philosopher doesn't mention money at all in his books or films, he did trigger the brain storming in me for this idea. I am not going to go in details over this man. But he is mainly a person who discusses the "sense of life", "humanity", and the "search of happiness".

Few may agree on his ideas but i personally got lots of positive inspiration from him. What
may connect us with this mans thoughts may be our continuous travels, our continuous searching, discovering, and looking for those answers to life.


Here is a link to another money painting recently completed together with my brother: http://calsolaroart.blogspot.com/2011/07/stato-di-vita.html Basically the upper part was painted by me and the lower by Daniele.
