The intensity of the colour that vibrates and radiates disruptive flashes, brilliant hues or sombre tones,directs the gaze into the depths of the inner dimension, like a poetic song that drags the reader to where the soulful identity, the unexpressed dream, the shifting wave of the unconscious resides. Claudio Olivieri’s paintings reflect this intangible, ephemeral substance, made up of colour veils in constant mutation, inviting a journey into an unexplored world, opening up to vision, to the reading of
the enigma, to the definition of the shadow, to knowledge of the self. Olivieri’s fluid painting always refers to the desire to see as feeling, to the unravelling of mystery, to the crumbling of concrete reality, to the shattering of the ego as a renewed reconstruction and openness to the vital substance, which subtend the ability to implement another vision, crossing and subverting the limits of the already given.
L’incanto del colore, la danza della visione, la rima ignota
