EXHIBITION CATALOG

Early on, the artist was fascinated by natural motifs: cypress trees, individual plant parts or ocean waves. He reduces them to outlines that allow recognition without imposing a narrative on the viewer. The dominant color is black, the color of the graphic sign. However, Scaiola distinguishes himself from the information concentrate of the pictogram by the sensually perceptible, relief-like raised texture of the surfaces. He often mixes sand among the colors.
This approach becomes more dynamic in the following period. Painted with the fingers, swirling compositions emerge in now again luminous palette, in which the dense allover of the stroke creates the effect of immense spatiality.
