Taking one’s time to observe and empathise with the gestural flows and the perceptive stimulations induced by the artworks is an essential exercise to fully enjoy the beauty of Art, and in the meantime to gift us with deserved emotions.Regardless of the technique, the work of Art is pure matter of the subconscious and/or of the thought, and the stimulating versatility in which it shows itself in “Evocativo”, offers a tangible occasion to the public to confront with a universe of puzzling, “restored” evocations.Artworks that can touch lightly or dwell in our interior spaces.“Art does not reproduce the visible, rather it makes visible the invisible that settles in the Being”. The words of Paul Klee vibrate in the pulsating heart of “Evocativo”, they question us on the value of our identity and the relationships that the identity has with the subconscious’ invisibility, whose secrets and fleeting aspects sometimes only Art is capable of unveiling…
