VOLTA - "Clouds Came Down to Earth"

The sky dominates the scene with an intense blue, as large pale clouds slowly advance toward the horizon. One of them seems to have detached from above to settle on the grass, erasing the boundary between sky and earth. Two storks traverse this impossible landscape as if it belonged to normal life. The brushstroke alternates between deep swathes and quick touches of green, pink, blue, and yellow, making the ground vibrate. The echo of the Romantic landscape survives in the vastness of the sky and in the smallness of the living beings. Nature becomes a vision in which what should float can suddenly stop beside us.

The search of Volta moves along the path of a return — not nostalgic, but active. The great tradition of European painting is the starting point: the period each work evokes, from time to time. But the gesture with which this heritage is traversed is unequivocally contemporary. Color does not illustrate; it breathes. The brushstroke does not describe; it vibrates. What remains of the past is the deep structure — a certain idea of the body, of space, of light — while the surface is fully present, fully alive. Volta does not quote; it returns: its compositions seem to emerge from a shared cultural memory, brought to light with different eyes.
