Criticism


... his paintings are real "windows open to the soul" as they involve the author and the viewer in a game of discovery of emotions, dreams, desires, obsessions, which are the representation of life itself. Chiolo (Cultural Association of the Municipality of Verano B.za -MB) .... we note the will of continuous research, an intelligent painter and above all sensitive to the stroke; his palette is rich in harmonious tones that give life to his creations, ranging from a figuration first and then a succession of evolutions in an abstract-informal, material sense, where he currently continues.Lorenzo Piemonti (Artist) .... usually it is called "ut pictura poesis" but the age-old formula can be read reversed: painting read as an interpretation of poetry. the coagulation between the space-sensorial element and the psychic-cultural element is undoubtedly present in the temperature of the sculptural and pictorial works of the excellent Calogero Salemi.Renato Tomasina (Art critic) .... music and poetry come back to life in his works in a constant artistic crescendo, within a path that leads him to experiment ever new techniques with the use of tempera, to which he adds sand, plaster, glue and other materials used to reinforce the sense of mystery that pervades his works. Franco Rizzi (Journalist, art critic) ... an artist with a thousand resources, always in the breach and never satisfied with the appreciable results achieved so far, constantly dedicated to perfecting his expressive technique and to finding new and more stimulating points of poetic inspiration for his multifaceted activity in the artistic field, an activity that ranges indifferently from the various genres of painting to the most varied forms of sculpture.Silvano Valentini (Art critic) -
