ROBERTO DEL FABBRO

When I paint I draw from the imaginary. I travel beyond logic and knowledge and create worlds that are beneath the oceans and above them, on solid ground and in the air, in the universe. Just like the leaves in the wind or in the air, in the water or above it. I see the world as a leaf. I become a leaf, a branch, a tree. I see the world as they see it, I see what they see in men and, especially, the men that love them. Over time I have developed a special bond with nature. I love her deeply and, in turn, she helps me paint, allows me to use her leaves, which become the instruments through which I create my paintings. It is as if nature painted and expressed herself through me and my art. Nature is part of me and of my paintings. When I finish a painting I think that it is a way of materializing the essence of the leaves and diffusing this essence to those who have never felt the wonderful sensations that nature can offer. I firmly believe that nature communicates with man through plants and I try to paint these messages, amplify them and disseminate them in the world.
