Alessandro Saturno's artistic research explores the mystery of matter and spirit, using painting as a vehicle for a higher organic genesis. His pictorial space becomes a suspended limbo, in which the figure happens, takes shape or dissolves, is observed and traversed.
The chosen palette – in shades of blue, green, purple, pink and orange – gives life to a tonal painting made of light and refined contrasts.
In the Distant Body series, the artist explores possible and impossible forms of the body, investigating its density beyond the visible and the carnal. The figures thus transform into fragments of memory and reminiscence, suspended in a poetic journey that transcends matter.
