Luca Fortin

Fluctuating between art and architecture, Luca is interested in the continuity of materials and the poetry of their aging over time. His pictorial investigations question the dualities between matter and its alterability. Repeated and superimposed movements allow him to compose abstract works with ethereal, vaporous and open-ended surfaces. Leaving considerable room for the unknown and the unexpected, the artist seeks to emphasize the brittleness, fragility and malleability of the matter he shapes.
