Steps Paola Nicotra

My works are composed of several materials, such as clay, putty, sand and anything that can create thickness. I want thickness because I think the unconscious must express itself at a level higher and thicker than the simple two-dimensional canvas. I like to explore the possibilities offered by different materials such as clay, raw jute, used without primer, or wood waste and anti-rust paint. I want my paintings to be touched, explored and known not only with the eyes, but also with the touch, so that one can come into contact with the interior elements that are there. The painting becomes a kind of point of encounter between exterior and interior dimensions, the greater the urgency of the expression, the greater the thickness.
