POWERFUL MOVEMENT MEETS THE CANVAS
THIS TYPE OF PAINTING IS DEEPLY ROOTED IN ROBERTO'S PASSION FOR THE MARTIAL ART OF TAEKWONDO. AS IN THE FIGHT, SO ON THE CANVAS: IT IS ABOUT THE CONNECTION OF BODY AND MIND, ABOUT THE EXPRESSION OF PURE ENERGY. PAINTING IS NOT A DELICATE OR DELIBERATE ACT, BUT AN EXPLOSION OF MOVEMENT AND FEELING.
"I THROW THE PAINT ONTO THE CANVAS WITH FULL FORCE - WHETHER FROM BOTTLES, BUCKETS OR WITH MY BARE HANDS. IT IS AN INTENSE, ALMOST RITUALISTIC PROCESS. EVERY TRACE OF COLOUR, EVERY SWEEP IS AN EXPRESSION OF VITALITY, A MOMENT OF IMMEDIATE CREATIVITY." ROBERTO LEONARDI
