Art Criticism

The paintings are made in mixed media, using both acrylic and oil color.
The artist produces works with a profound and poetic characterization, marked by a personal imprint, in which color creates a strong impact.
In fact, the colors are always bright and brilliant, even of different shades, and range from blue to green or yellow, almost Fauves, often enhanced by internal contrasts to the background, always exploiting all the possibilities of mixed media.
Lando almost seems to challenge nature, with artifice and intelligence trying to fix the visual effects suggested by the motions of the waves, in Visions he indulges in an even colder or "mineral," and in others, he does not exclude from his investigation the most precise lines and drawing, as in Forever and Ever or Bosqueio.
Most of the paintings are on rectangular canvas devoid of frames and borders to become a space where the eye can imagine a new depiction of the object itself. Birch’s trees become moving bodies that can be modulated to create unpredictable and surprising effects, while landscapes, stripped of the superfluous, are depicted with minimal imagery.
The paintings with subject matter naturalistic, reinterpreted through an abstract vision, create a new image from the departure subject and provoke, in the one who observes, an engaging visual impact emotionally and sensorial.
The artist is exuberant, capable of impressing on the viewer a series of new interpretations. From the works, precisely the temperament of a man who is free and willing to broaden horizons and to make us change the gaze perspective (F.F)
