As you are involved in a number of commercial works while also focusing on your own creative works, there seems to be some kind of interaction between them. How exactly do you feel they influence each other?I am able to work freely on my own creative projects thanks to commercial projects; in reality, I don’t sell them since they make me so happy that I don’t care if they will be profitable.
In today’s chaotic and stagnant world, I sense a lot of positive power in your activities and creations: several migratory adventures, a lot of commercial work, and challenging creations in new media. What is it that drives you?
Deadlines.
Such as BL00M, a digital garden project that interacts with crypto market, Habemus, a public work with QR codes painted on ceramic tiles, and Mi manchi come il Wi-Fi, which is an altar-like three-dimensional crucifix made of hand-painted ceramic tiles with an internal Wi-Fi router, what is the reason or intention behind your focus on the fusion of the traditional and the contemporary?They’re particularly challenging projects, but that’s what I enjoy about making them. These are ideas that come to me at random, and since I am able to create them, why not? I’ve been able to make them happen by collaborating with close friends as well, which makes the overall experience quite fun.
