3RD Thought :: Artist Info ::Claudio Parentela

�I like to draw and to paint the strong contrasts, the absolute contrasts, the muddled and conflicting contrasts, knotted in inextricable threads�I like to draw the absolute and indescribable emotions�to search to understand that I feel and that I�m not able to grasp�the brush, the pen, the black ink are the elective means�the white of the paper is the empty soul and mind�the black ink fills up them of meaning�it gives them shape and it distorts them�,and it transforms them�,and it consumes them and it consumes itself in them� �The white and the black are the absolute contrast�,the eternal war�that has never neither start nor end�the war between all and all, without survivors�with many victims and with any victim�in my soul there are been always so many contradictions�the time and with the time I�ve reduced them to few contradictions�in a unique contradiction and opposition, the defined and clear contradiction between the white against the black� I love to describe the thousand tones of the human soul, the thousand thoughts that mix themselves with the emotions, the colours, the noises�in the mind, in the eyes, in the black ink and of ink and of white paper�in the transfixed and eternally won heart�
