Parsifal

Teatro della Vita, palcoscenico allestito:
sulle tavole che contano i giorni
si ripete una scena già vista.
Inquietante e ambigua,
ossessiva ed insinuante, seno nudo e
calze rosse,
lei stordisce la mente e soffoca il cuore.
Si dirà: "è una finzione!"
Ma è di scena proprio lei, la "Tentazione".
"Ma chi recita il Bene questa sera?"
Parsifal, il gatto del regista,
l'unica cosa vera.

Ginevra

Un biglietto d'invito, ma perché?
Per un ballo in maschera al Palazzo del Re.
E lei, novella Ginevra in abito d'oro
regina di cuori per contrasto d'amore,
fa il suo ingresso nel magico salone,
destando in ogni cuore fortissima emozione.
E i suoi Cavalieri?
Nell'atrio solenne già incrocian le spade,
è tutto un bagliore di lame affilate.
La musica tace, l'incantesimo è rotto:
duellan per lei Re Artù e Lancillotto!

Le cercle de la lune. That is, thinking to Matisse, 2005               below
oil and acrylic on canvas, cm 100x100

Work inspired by the structure, rhythm and tension of Matisse's "The dance", but marked by the opposite iconographic process, in which the female bodies, namely, arrive to one of the more topical form of popular artistic expression of present time: the strip cartoons.
Le cercle de la lune - 2005
Goldencloud - 2004 Goldencloud
2004
water-colour and gold, cm 30x20
Work jointly inspired by the Venice cloudy skyline, captured by a shot of the photographer Corrado Leoni, and the verses of the Venetian poet Diego Valeri.
The hill-woman - 2005 The hill woman. That is, Stella Asia's portrait
2005
water-colour, cm 30x20
An anthropomorphic landscape, or vice-versa? It comes after to the "island-woman", the "tree-woman", the "clepsydra-woman", in the attempt of grasping, or to assigning, to objects, places, events, a universal and romantic vision of the feminine.
A modern interpretation of female fascination, "Venus in mini-skirt" refers to the posture of some well known representations, from the Medici's Venus (first century B.C.), to Botticelli's one. Bixio's Venus rises from the cloth-waves of the "Barcaccia" fountain, in a recognizable roman landscape that surfaces from personal suggestions, as from fragments of life experience suggested by the model herself.
