Artwork title : Hatert Housing

The balcony is an architectural element but it represented, in the period of isolation we experienced, a view of the world. The need to maintain a relationship with the outside world has made the balcony the protagonist of human relationships at a distance, thus also assuming a participatory function. The work "Hatert Housing", which is part of the "Balconies" series, is a tribute to the project by architects 24H > architecture in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. Buildings have always accompanied humanity and trying to investigate their expressive language becomes the aim of my research. It is a kind of journey to be shared with others through a variety of stories where the building, or parts of it, are the protagonist. I try to interpret architecture by leaving room to the imagination. My work could be photographic but I think painting offers something more as a means of expression thanks to color and personal interpretation.
