paintings
Sebastiano Migliarini was born in Milano, Italy in 1970. Graduated from Sculpture Department of the Carrara Fine Art Accademy (Italy) in 1994.Works as Theater/Television and Event Set Designer, Scultptor and Painter since 1994 all over Europe. His wide curiosity has inspired him to create various art projects , with the constant research for new shapes and a vast variety of materials.
His professional path leads him naturally through different medias such as painting, sculpture and design.
It is not what is on black and white that is important, one can read between the lines; it is not what you look at but what you see. An artist who is honest and astute knows very well that it is one thing to declare something, quite another to evoke it. To evoke means to beckon all the past spirits back from the reign of the super-cool. It means to play with the time that every mortal thing interrupts, and at least mix things around a little. The most moving stories play with time; they always have a before and an after, but it is not important to follow chronologically to understand what has happened at the beginning or at the end. If one announces everything it becomes bureaucratic; if one describes it, the description takes you nowhere, like a car which breaks down on the way to your party. Sebastiano's paintings are mellow and primitive like children's pictures. They are elegant and melancholic, describing very little but evoking much. Somebody has come in, got undressed, hung up their dress on a hook, run a hand over it to smooth out the creases and brush off the dust, and is now having a shower, eating, making love, praying or already sleeping, and all of this is hidden from us. Every artist has their distinctive symbols and Sebastiano makes a clothes hanger, a dress or carefully lined up shoes into perfect metonyms to tell us about his world. Hanging up a dress on a hook is like gazing at oneself in the mirror, and it is here that the real individual is revealed; generality becomes particular and the character becomes a person. He is no longer a metal worker but the workman who is doing a sit in on the roof of the factory to keep on fighting for his job; it is no longer the elegant lady all dressed up, but the beauty in the flowery dress who smiled maliciously at us.
Back in the 19th century the dandies were the first to show us how clothes can hold the soul of the wearer, demonstrate his philosophy of life. One can decide to ignore poets, one can misunderstand Sebastiano's language which transforms the objective into the subjective, but then one would have to admit to belonging to that rank of fools who still believe that appearance is immaterial and that there are rigid categories in life; an outside and an inside, a before and after, life and death.
