The proposal

By Giuliano Amedeo Tosi, Switzerland

The main content of my work deals with distorted, bent, merging, disappearing and unrealistic representations of bodies in unreal spaces or natural landscapes. Proportions and correctness play a subordinate role. The focus is on unrealistic and mystical creations. In my opinion, reality can be captured technologically better than ever before. Therefore, I do not see any motivation to produce photorealistic paintings. Rather, painting for me is a playground of unlimited imagination. The figure or figures in the center of the painting thus appear isolated and at the same time very present and shining. However, the backgrounds now develop more in the direction of nature images. The Nature effect brings a nice additional component: the mood. I combine intuitive with precise techniques and I use many different materials. Recently I also work directly with the color of the painting ground. The human anatomy and especially the musculoskeletal structure are a very important part of my work and fascinate me enormously. My inspirations I find therefore mostly in the human being itself. The human being is the center of my art. Women, men, young people and children are portrayed. Lately I also integrate animals. The figures mostly show themselves in their natural garb. The reason for the naked depictions is the expression of absolute honesty. The beauty of body aesthetics should not be removed by clothing. Often, I go one step further and show muscle fibers and bones next to ordinary bodies.

In most of my works, I try to represent with strong symbolism. The visual language is strong and exaggerated to convey a clear message.
