This is a drawing project consisting of five video animations.
The initial idea of this work emerged in the streets of New York City. The first image that came to my mind was that of a body with five heads; four of them flourished from its four limbs like enormous vegetable shoots. This first vision made me develop a series of drawings devoted to an unusual cycle.
The images, in appearance independent, aroused from the fertile well of my imagination and became sequences by the use of an easy and artisanal animation. The simple force of the drawings and the minimal stories narrated were my principal tools during the process.
Gestation, fusion, decomposition, transition, mutation and specially expulsion were the concepts in which I was thinking to create these bizarre drawings. Four singular stories and one coral with a musical accompaniment are here combined by my interest in the human fluids. Arbitrary and impossible gestations are accompanied by corporal sounds such as breaths, voices or heartbeats.
I drew a being able to rise from its corporal fluids and breed other lives from the depths of its own body. I imagined a potentially independent shape but nevertheless unable to change its own regulated development. These figures of mechanized movements and deformed bodies were the result of my concern for the illogic needs that make up the fragile existence of modern humankind.

IFILOSOFI is a work consisting of 13 drawings and 6 videos that forms part of my series of drawings for animations that also includes the work INASCENTI.
Lonely characters framed by a neutral background, men trapped in their physical limitations or determined to do childish tasks are the protagonists of this universe inspired by contemporary thinkers. In the six animations that come out of the drawings, each character develops a simple action. Some disappear through clumsy movements, while other simply fall.
What I tried was to draw myths with no wings, thinkers with enormous movement difficulties, heroes exhausted after a long wait and captive of their endless vicissitudes.
