"Soldier with Gas Mask 2" is a rendering created in Blender, part of the series exploring the fusion between reality and imagination. This piece is a variation of the previous "Soldier with Gas Mask 1," but offers a new perspective through a different angle. Using materials that simulate clay, this creation presents itself as a faux artifact combining the digital world with the tactile and primitive sensation of clay.

The choice of CGI as an expressive medium has allowed for a visual effect that explores the tension between the tangible and the intangible, between perceived reality and the imaginary. The gas mask, once again a central element, becomes a symbol of protection and isolation, but is now seen through a different lens, expanding the reflection on these themes. The clay texture adds an authentic and palpable appearance, while the Blender design allows for the exploration of details and forms with precision and creativity.

Since I was a child, I have had a passion for art that goes beyond mere appreciation; it has become a continuous search for meaning and Archè.

I have explored much of the art world, but in recent years I have mainly focused on Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI), the medium I predominantly use today.

I am fascinated by the fact that images generated with CGI, while being visible, remain in the realm of nonexistence.

This duality of existence and intangibility intrigues me deeply: an image that persists in a form of permanence, while remaining ethereal and intangible.

Each of my CGI creations represents a journey through the boundary between the visible and the invisible, an exploration of the imaginary realm that challenges the conventions of reality.

My works are not simple representations, but rather windows into worlds that exist only at the intersection of perception and illusion.

With each rendering, I strive to capture and convey this tension between presence and absence, between matter and imagination.

In this space of duality, art becomes a reflection on the nature of perception and reality itself.

My work invites the viewer to immerse themselves in a visual experience that is as concrete as it is elusive, stimulating a meditation on what is truly real and what remains eternally elusive.

Through CGI, each image transforms into a kind of paradox, where imagination manifests in forms that, though perfectly visible, always remain on the boundary of nonexistence.
