This pictorial cycle explores the complex relationships between online communication and interaction; it offers a perspective on our 'connection' with digital technology and invites the audience to reflect on the meaning and influence of Internet research in contemporary society.
The 'search bar', a small but powerful window into which we type questions and curiosities, has become the access point to the vastness of the digital world. It represents a portal of knowledge that reflects the dynamics of our increasingly digital society, fostering the connection between people and the free exchange of knowledge and ideas. The artworks presented here highlight both the benefits and opportunities offered by online research, such as access to knowledge and the democratisation of content, and the negative aspects, such as the violation of privacy, manipulation of information and social isolation. The aim is to stimulate the audience to reflect on how these two aspects can coexist in a balanced way in our society.
In the paintings on display, there is the seed of a new creative front based on the anxieties, aberrations and loneliness of the present time. In the season of great communication, the weeds of indifference have unfortunately arisen. In order to eradicate it, we need the involvement of being, a renewed sense of civil responsibility and an artistic message that urges the new humanity to respect values.
Painting again, with conviction, with passion... in the time of Google.
