A conversation between Davide Puma and Dr. Sara Taglialagamba\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Davide Puma’s artistic journey, it is customary for science and poetry to merge into a single overall vision, creating a powerful and entirely personal language. Their divine resonance transforms visions into images, creating a cosmogony of energy, elements, matter, and atoms that, colliding with each other, catapult the viewer into an ideal world entirely dominated by nature populated by metamorphic animals under the protection of primal goddesses.<\/p>\n

This is the theme of the exhibition: in line with a philosophical thought rooted in antiquity, Puma proposes the idea of a universe understood as a living organism in continuous becoming and the result of mechanical<\/em> iteration between elementary particles. It is precisely through reflection on the theme of movement, change, and the incessant transformation of nature that the artist succeeds in shaping his personal intuition of the world and contributing to the unceasing learning of that \u201cmechanics <\/em>\u00a0of the universe,\u201d which is the basis of all his paintings. This divine eurythmy manages to materialize in his gardens, which become ideal and idealized places of creation, stripping themselves of their figurative meaning but dressing themselves in the role of archetype. In Puma’s mind, his gardens are the place where the matrix symbols of the universe are manifested: they are the places inhabited by his creatures that take on continuous metamorphoses, charging themselves with hidden meanings and allegories; they are the places of revelation of his thought under the unchallenged dominion of Queen Mothers of nature and all the elements.<\/td>\n
