Riddles of Blue A solo exhibit by Fernando Rossia The first thing that comes to mind when I think about these objects of pleasure is blues and kisses, infinite universes, quests and disillusions; there is nothing I can do about it, this is invariably what occurs for me. Later after longer contemplation, other layers appear from these fantastic works. These paintings are populated by characters bearing stories of other worlds, searching for their destiny under one common moon, so tenuous that it barely lights the way, creating an atmosphere magnificent and beautiful like a forest adrift. Impossible to steer in such oneiric waters, one can only let oneself be carried by the air burdened with intentions, abandoning oneself to spells, surrendering completely to these gentle tides. Stars crash to smithereens of light against a background of fantastic reality and scatter themselves into brilliant pieces that attach to clothing and skin, like a kaleidoscope of magical crystals, offering us a distinct emotion with each turn; hiding cold luminous landscapes submerged under water. Then returns the incredible certitude that the depths of these waters are tinted blue with sadness and mystery. The darkness and the labyrinths become more real and bring forth the hermetic symbology of signs and voices. There are forceful intentions, like in dreams when the need to scream out for help, barely comes out as a whisper that nobody hears. These characters seem removed from our physical existence, as if they were looking at us from behind a veil that separates two different realities. I can't help but wonder what could happen if one could truly inhabit this blue, complex world. The work of Fernando Rossia takes us to a remote place, where the artist has set up the scene, a melancholic atmosphere where his characters reveal their secrets, their riddles of blue.
