‘Posters are not only important to me as such, but also because of their topicality. Their colours, that is, acquire new meaning (and today it is ‘images’ that have taken on new meaning for me) since they manage to introduce a true novelty in my everyday relationship with the street. And it is the creative stimulus of colour that spurs my desire to lacerate and the entire amalgam of events that is finally contained in my painting. Because the laceration I perform in the street, when the post appears to me a crucial moment in nature, is totally different from the laceration that in my studio respects not only a natural order but corresponds to my needs regarding vision and the creation of something that is a metaphor of the world, even from the point of view of a ready-made’
