Milaz... a Humanist Artisan

Being a "humanist craftsman"... means trying to create plausible bridges between humanistic and technical culture. This is why I feel like a craftsman. In this historical period in which everything seems to change, alter, and transform, the craftsman of today is projected into a future, where the "already and not yet" is already here, and by definition, he or she can only be a Humanist. Knowing how to do things becomes essential to understanding and combining the various techniques of fine art printmaking with modern communication technologies. And this is how I became passionate about the ancient art of engraving, where "THE GESTURE and THE SIGN" become the distinctive features of a work that surprisingly reveals itself with each print, different and unique, as it becomes a "new print."

Starting from the use of materials, used as supports, engraved for printing (zinc, aluminum, Forex, Tetra Pak) as matrices for a sign that transforms into a "drawing" where wax and color give life to the idea, to your project conceived but not yet realized. Always unpredictable in its evolution. THE GESTURE and THE SIGN GESTURE. Because "Art is in the gesture," says Roland Barthes, while THE SIGN..."that which, beyond offering itself to the senses, gives an indication of something else"... N. Tommaseo, B. Bellini - (Dictionary of the Italian Language) in its realization is fascinating because it is unpredictable and unpredictable.

Because "A brilliant idea is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration," asserts T.A. Edison. In fact, my "path" is made of mistakes and failures from which to learn... a challenge within a challenge.

Learn a technique to try to materialize a thought, an idea, an intuition that can be shared to share emotions.

Because it's the sharing of emotions, and it's emotion that distinguishes us from "Homo homini lupus."
