"Inspired by the master painter Giorgio de Chirico, I embarked on a personal journey that pays homage to his captivating artistry. De Chirico's evocative pieces have long held me in fascination, conjuring a potent nostalgia that tugs at the soul. His mastery lies in orchestrating empty arcades, towering structures, and enigmatic mannequins into surreal landscapes that evoke a sense of both 'power and freedom.'
My project, a labour of personal devotion like my previous works, stands as a testament to De Chirico's legacy. Just as he meticulously crafted his visions, I designed and constructed the entire set myself—a process marked by thoughtful planning and meticulous execution.
The gradual pace of my process parallels the deliberate strokes of a painter's brush. Each element is placed with purpose, weaving a narrative that captures the essence of De Chirico's ethereal allure. The result is a visual symphony that echoes his profound influences.
In my interpretation, I've sought to capture the very spirit that courses through De Chirico's masterpieces. An atmosphere of enigmatic nostalgia takes shape, where towering structures stand as sentinels of both power and freedom, and empty spaces pulse with untold stories.
This project, a personal homage, aims to keep alive the essence of De Chirico's artistry. It is a tribute to the creative process, the enduring allure of his works, and the timeless interplay between power, freedom, and the enigmatic depths of the human experience."
