"The Museum of the
Night", Abruzzo National Park, (15x3 m). This piece,
which combines painting and relief, is full of special
effects. It follows a beautiful and enchanted path
at night, where nocturnal animals that live in the
park are hiding in the dark, lit only by moonlight…
I particularly enjoyed creating this piece. The fluorescent
colours used are both delicate and electrifying. Rocks
carved in polystyrene have been added to the painted
surface, as well as trees with trunks and branches
made of resin and real leaves and lush bushes. The
short 15 metre walk through the wood is made in the
dark (apart from special wood lamps) and gradually,
as happens in real life, hidden in the bushes or in
the branches of the tress, one begins to notice each
and every nocturnal animal that lives in the park.
Two talented artists and friends of mine collaborated
on this piece: Leonardo Fabbri and Massimo Benucci,
as well as Deirdre Hyde who painted the animals in
the wood.
