Artist Spotlight - Federico Cittaro
Biography
Life is a long road made by many stops and starts. The first start was on the 12th of November 1969, so my journey began in the lost and funny landscape we call world.
He likes travelling, this has always been my passion, diving into other worlds, smelling scents, colours of lights in the different moments of the day, this is something really special.

An important stop was when he enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, in 1992.
For the first time, he stopped. It happened because of boredom, by chance or for pleasure; he does not know the reason.

In the long time of six years, he grew up to achieve a personal style, which is the independence of thought, it is the man, projected in the world, who has made him inert, unable to dream, where the objects are in the foreground, and he is at their disposal.

As Nietzsche writes - I dream knowing I am dreaming, in which the intensification of the information about reality, about its aspects, makes less and less conceivable the same one, a world that in the end becomes fabulous.

He discussed my thesis, titled: “CLIPBOARD OF A PICTORIAL RESEARCH IN BECOMING", in 1999.

Having experienced life and art in Dublin and then in Hungary, he carries on my research about the quantum painting, with even more combinations through the analysis of different forms, such as the cultural ones.

Artist Statement
Passing by both Impressionism and Informalism, he drew on a new concept.
Thus, by relating the two schools of thought, he developed the colour space-time and the “shape-soul” by reaching out to that emotional quantum alongside my life-experience: all that is the quantum painting.

Starting off this concept, he launched into a new view of painting using only five acrylic colours on rough canvas: ultramarine blue, vermilion red, lemon yellow, up to white and black.

Straight on the canvas, he synthesizes colours of feelings by shutting them on a rhythm, the formatedness of subjectivity and objectivity, the sea of feelings and the sea of the world, as a unique space-time, enclosed as well as trapped within a quantum that has been taken away from the world, and has been left to go towards a new universe: the artwork.

The five colours become the synthesizing feelings called the quantum painting, with the painting and shutting in there of the energy, the only space given becomes rhythmed movement through a unique probability of space.

And setting off energy, the space-time code of reality is named a stratum of dimension, such as the painting, and cutting again through colours of nature there is the formattedness, that is the name he has chosen, through the feelings;

thus, as a unique mood of feeling, the painting is formatted with new codes, spaced fragments giving shape to nuances, which he names nuanced strokes, whose unique matrix faded away was born from the five colours.

The quantum painting is a new dimension as the formattedness reality that you may re-code in the feeling of your life-experience.
An infinite nuanced range of quantum in a unique fragment enclosed into a universe ranging over others.
