The word of… Francesco RomoliThe word of… Francesco Romoli

Experience.

“In my artistic work this word is crucial. My style is a mix of photography and digital graphics and in every job I always try to learn something, experimenting with new techniques or tools. In some works I use the camera, in Humana for example, but in others I’ve never used it. For the project I’m working on right now I’m using a scanner. I digitized old photos of my family. Old photos, before the war. The end result is often unpredictable and this aspect I really like.

Change tool and technique is very important for me, it makes me see things from a different view.”

Francesco Romoli is a creative of generation Z, where digital media and postproduction have a key-role in his creations. Despite the power of new technology, the process of creation is always the same… a common process that all artists have to face.  Being in front of a white thick canvas or a 1,310,720 pixels thinner screen doesn’t make any difference.  The unpredictability of the result is the same; it’s a work in progress… and the first input always starts when the bulb that is in our head turns on and… Eureka!

When I encountered these intriguing photos the first things that popped up into my mind was René Magritte’s Perspective II: Manet’s Balcony, 1950, that the surrealist painter realized in his ‘mature period’. Probably because of the surreal atmospheres and mystery aura by which Francesco surrounded his subjects. Or maybe because I am under the sun.

“I like to imagine things that do not exist” Franscesco said. “I’m a big fan of science fiction and fantasy. The many books and magazines I have read certainly have influence on my style. I am passionate about contemporary art. I love artists like Sharrie Lavine http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherrie_Levine , Barbara Kruger http://www.barbarakruger.com/art.shtml  and Richard Princehttp://www.richardprince.com/ . In particular an artist that I really like is Maggie Taylor. http://maggietaylor.com Their way of working and that of other artists definitely has influenced my work.”

Francesco Romoli is a 36 years old artist living in a cute small town Pontedera in Toscany, in the middle Italy.  After having graduated in computer science and mathematics at the University of Pisa, he realized that having a ‘nerd’ future was not his cup of tea. Thus, he dove himself in photography, and enhanced his visual skills at the centre of contemporary photography Fondazione Studio Marangoni in Florence.

His artworks can be seen and felt in a very various ways in connection to your momentary mood. It’s always different, that’s what I enjoyed most.  Feel free to share with us your opinion and perception of Francesco’s art.
