ABOUT

'Since I began my artistic research I have always wanted to use as subject Silvio Berlusconi, the three times Prime Minister of my country, Italy, but in a new form than those who had preceded me in portraying him. In my way of seeing those who had mocked and criticized him over the years just inadvertently confirmed his success, fueling the media coverage of his character. My intention was rather to do a “forensic analysis”, breaking down the different aspects of the media personality and reassemble them according to my artistic sense.

Since 2009 I portrait him more than 15 times in many different materials, marble, fiberglass, plaster, etc ... In 2012 I started to develop my skills of digital artist, from that moment I started to work on the project by the computer, that left me a unimaginable creative freedom compared to the traditional sculpture's method.

TUMOR VIDEO, the work I 3D Printed thanks to 3D Hubs and ProRa, represent the dualism between the POP Berlusconi (the reference to Mikey Mouse is pretty obvious) and the economic and media power at his disposal, in other words expresses the dangers hidden behind his proverbial plastic smile.
