Lot Essay
Painting is, in fact, simply a medium used by Filippo to explore his complex ideas about problem of image identification and creation, in an era flooded with images and pictures - visual products and visual culture - especially those related to image production and perception using camera technology
in his various artworks that arise with diverse image-games, one can find an element continually present secretly , as it is never seen as real. The element is light. At the moment, Filippo already realized the existence of the element, since without light all those image-games that he presented through various media will appear as nothing. It is light that has made all those forms and images present, perceivable, and therefore "exist".
