“Ricordo”

”So usually the symbolic layers overlapping the portraits account for the mixture of languages, culture ​​and identities that exist in our societies. Stars for me are also somehow speaking about dreams, sometimes future projections or the past. 

It does not have one meaning but I use them to have another layer with symbolic meanings that each can add to the artwork, I like to think that they are like a layer of thoughts, or language, and also sometimes just a decorative element.” – Guido Palmadessa
