(paintings from paradise)
2011-2012, Rome
On November 2011 I've asked Cristina Kristal Rizzo to make for me/with me a series of paintings.
The process was supposed to consist in communicating her my own alphabet of signs and gestures.
She would translate it with brushes and paints on canvas.
Because of the impossibility of translating a painting verbally, Cristina was asked to proceed in the way she preferred.
While Cristina was painting I was watching her.
After each session of work I made a series of paintings of the same dimension of those painted by her, using both the colors she left and the techniques she found as well as the energies I absorbed from her during the time spent together.
Cristina had never painted before.
