Light.
Light as a source.
A source from which everything is created and in which everything flows back and is transformed.
Twilight, darkness or the violent sunlight in the eyes,
And the perception of what surrounds us changes.
The designing of bodies which begin to live and meet, which blend and reject each other.
The heat that is released mingles with the music and becomes movement, dance.
The dance is created by the fusion of light and music, no longer simple accompanying elements, but protagonists. Movement, a vehicle for emotions, is at their service and exalts their continuous evolution.
But why white?
White, the non-color par excellence
White which terrorizes writers and reassures pious men.
Because it is simply the color of music. A totality of impalpable sounds,
crystalline like its construction, a perfect equilibrium of sensations which aspire to pureness.
The common desire to create something abstract, if this is possible.
To me the abstract is possible only at a conceptual level. Emotions are concrete, not tangible yet real.
Nonetheless, my desire not to give a time and a place has lead to the non-color white.
This is the reason for Luce Bianca, white light.
An invitation to be conducted by the hand in a journey of light and shadows, emotions to be looked at with the heart.
