statement
Through painting, which expands and intersects with different media, Martinucci's practice is based on archival approach. Among the themes that he investigates are the narrative of the Self and the complex relationship between altered memories (real or digital), imagination and fiction. His artistic process is characterized by a visually overflowing experience that thrives on assemblages and free associations, capable of generating non-linear narratives with humorous, absurd, and poetic tones.
The intention to depict this fragmented imaginary usually translates into a reconsideration everyday elements emptied of their purposes, becoming access keys to trascendental dimensions composed of a multitude of resulting symbols.
