Caliendo Gianluca " Linfame21 " - Controluce

At the heart of an abstract artwork, 'Lust' manifests with a powerful visual force. The canvas is a chromatic battlefield where deep black and fiery red clash and blend skillfully, evoking intense passions and unspoken desires. The spatula technique gives the composition a three-dimensional, almost tactile texture, as if the material itself had been sculpted by the fury of emotion. Every brushstroke, or rather, every spatula stroke, leaves a dense, textured mark that adds depth and drama to the scene. Elements of this chromatic vortex emerge in the form of 'golden bubbles.' These luminous spheres are not mere decorations but appear as sparkling promises, fleeting refuges within the tumult, fleeting reflections of purity or ephemeral pleasure. The golden bubbles dance, suspended between abyssal black and volcanic red, drawing the eye and suggesting the intrinsic duality of lust: its exhilarating nature and its potentially destructive side. It is a bold exploration of the boundaries between sensual pleasure and unconfessed darkness, conveyed through a powerful visual language and a daring color palette that leaves no one indifferent.

In 2021, he was diagnosed with lymphoma (hence the pseudonym Linfame21, under which he signs his works). He turned to art as a tool to fight the disease.
