Descrizione Opera / Biografia


Impressed by everything I experience, places, objects, people, stories.
Born in 1996, graduated at the Mendrisio Academy of Architecture in 2021 with Professor Bijoy Jain of Studio Mumbai.
During his university studies he cultivated his passion for art and painting, intensifying his artistic production after graduation.
In his works he conveys everything that strikes him, places, objects, people and stories. In recent years he has traveled a lot, in a way he had never experienced before, meeting people and cultures completely different from his own.
It is in these pilgrimages that a new conception of beauty arose in him, made up of simplicity and a deeper understanding of visual and spiritual language.
The stones he finds during his travels become mediums capable of expressing a beauty characterized by a return to practice, to know the earth as a raw material. Smashing and layering stones on a canvas Pol create a unique colour and an old materic texture capable of animating and making a work eternal.
The selected artwork is the expression of my experience during a pilgrimage to Jordan. It was made with stones collected personally along this journey. The colours which emerge in this work are all natural and unique, as unique as every single stone used to create it.
A clear way
crossed by water,
which flows and traces unexpected paths.
Unexpected,
as the experiences we live.
They invest you
and dazzle you
in their primitive beauty,
a beauty made of simplicity,
of purity.
And now
we are fresh,
pure,
free.
