  • Imperfect Ruptures continues my series Equilibri Sbilanciati, where I work with tension, interruption, and repair. I build the surface as an unstable system—layering paint, scraped fields, and shifting blocks of colour—then I break it. Small cuts and pin-sized holes puncture the canvas in a quiet nod to Fontana, not as quotation, but as a way to let rupture become part of the work. Breaking the canvas is my way of refusing a “polished” surface. The cut becomes a direct language for pain—something real, physical, and present. I then patch the holes with wool thread. I don’t hide the damage; I reconstruct it visibly. The stitched area becomes a scar: a record of what happened, and of what it takes to continue. I’m interested in the friction between control and impulse, damage and care. The work holds an imperfect equilibrium: a surface that insists on its own vulnerability while remaining composed, resilient, and deliberately unfinished.
