A dive into the “Feelings and Emotions” Collection!

The collection represents all the feelings and emotions that accompany the artist in the creative process and is made up of the following unique pieces.

.

Work Number 73 – Black – Incognito

.

.

The first real feeling that distinguishes the production of a work of art for Cesare Catania is the absence of any specific thought referring to it. The unknown (in absolute black) represents the uncertainty about what to express and from an emotional point of view it is identified with the restlessness of those who question themselves absently in front of a blank canvas or in front of a shapeless block of clay.

Work Number 74 – Yellow – Happiness

.

.

As soon as a first inspiration comes to the artist’s mind, he immediately feels a sense of happiness, something that fills his heart and head. In this phase the inspiration is absolutely immature but it is already starting to attract the artist’s mind.

Work Number 75 – White – Purity

.

At this moment the artist tries to clean up his point of view and make it as multi-perspective as possible. Looking at the inspiration from multiple angles, in fact, the author manages to understand what is actually the predominant aesthetic and sentimental meaning of his inspiration. In this phase the artist must necessarily be free from prejudices.

Work Number 76 – Green – Relaxation

.

.

Almost as if you were at the beginning of a meditative process, Relaxation plays a fundamental component in the creation of a work of art. Once a first unripe inspiration has touched the artist’s heart and after the mind has freed itself from filters and prejudices, now it’s up to the body to find its balance.

Work Number 77 – Rose – Shyness

.

.

The moment he approaches to execute his own work of art, despite his artistic background and despite the fact that the ideas are now clear on what to represent, the artist experiences a feeling of absolute smallness and shyness in front of the work not yet created. In this, shyness enhances the executive spontaneity and the artistic authenticity of the creative process.

Work Number 78 – Blue – Positive Vibrations

.

.

Whether the work in question is inspired by emotions of happiness or not, in any case the artist must perceive that he is in harmony with the work he is performing, he must feel the same vibrations of the work that is being born. Only in this way can he become one with the new creation.

Work Number 79 – Red – The Passion

.

.

During the pure creative process, the predominant feeling must be passion, understood as passion for what is being done. This sensation for the artist alternates with the critical sense, the latter always understood in a constructive sense. From this emotion forward, in which heart and head are synchronized in unison, all the previous emotions are embraced by the artist who goes from single “musician” of his work to “composer and conductor”.

Work Number 80 – The Presence

.

.

The first sculpture of the diptych in question represents presence. Physically and strictly speaking, the two rusty steel planes of the cube balanced on one of its corners seem to contain a shapeless mass of silicone and black and white acrylic, almost as if to confine the presence of the work to the place where is located and in its geographical and temporal uniqueness. In a broad sense, the meaning of this phase is very clear: the artist perceives his presence in that place exactly in front of the work he is creating and savors all its distinctive features. In practice, the artist tries to savor his presence in the place and time in which he finds himself in front of his almost complete work of art. This state of mind is fundamental for what will come immediately after: Absence.

Work number 81 – The Absence

.

.

Contrary to the previous sentiment, in this case the artist instead has to make an effort to absent himself from the situation in which he finds himself. This is to try to give a new perspective and a new point of view to a work of art that is now almost finished. The absence with respect to one’s creation is necessary because, after having always spent some time in front of the same evolving work, the artist no longer has a clear mind to be able to judge. The difficulty of placing oneself “distant and absent” from something that is pervading the heart and mind at that moment, makes this process extremely complex.

Work number 82 – Love

.

.

At the end of the creative process, when the work is completed and when inspiration has found complete fulfillment in the artistic expression produced, the artist is completely in love with what he has created. This feeling is the evolution of all the previous ones and completely resets its value once it occurs.
