The gaze of Claudio Malacarne, born in Mantua in 1956 and an artist of growing renown since the 1990s, focuses on the element from which everything originates: water. His is a continuous search for hidden anomalies, for a shadow, for a new reason capable of illuminating the purity and clarity of a private emotion.

These immense panels open onto an original space, a primordial place where everything takes shape, in the tension toward a suspension of chaos and the construction of a new harmony—one capable of bringing together the branches of life—family, animals, nature—into a single, deep visual breath.

The form of water leads us beneath the surface of the liquid, discovering a pictorial dimension that strongly reaffirms the value and power of figurative imagery, restoring its expressive intensity and its ability to become an inner experience.
