His vision of the world is filtered through a profound process of interiorization: the artist embraces the complexity of existence and pours it onto the canvas. Hence the profoundly gestural approach that underpins Marco Cioffi's work. The artist's emotions and spirituality are transformed into a pictorial gesture that gives rise to complex compositions, just as the human self and its relationship with the world are complex. Formally, this translates into an extraordinary variety of interventions on the pictorial support, in a continuous overlapping of energetic brushstrokes, material concentrations, more calligraphic interventions, and emotional drippings. The result is managed by Cioffi in a complex compositional balance that places color at the forefront. Cioffi's works are a continuous interplay of harmonies and dissonances that constantly stimulate the viewer's psyche. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eEvery year, over 8 million tons of plastic end up in the oceans. Today, we produce 20 times more plastic than in the 1960s (a third of which is for packaging), and if we don't stop the situation, by 2050 the mass of plastic in the oceans will outweigh all the fish in the sea, while 99% of seabirds will have ingested varying amounts of plastic.\n Plastic waste floating in the oceans is one of the tragedies of our modern era. Scientists have counted as many as five concentrations of plastic waste, the size of islands, scattered throughout the oceans.\r \nThe most famous and also the first to be discovered is the Pacific Trash Vortex, which is thought to extend far beyond 700,000 km2 (three times the size of France) and contain over 3 million tons of plastic. The island is thought to have formed starting in the 1980s due to the action of the ocean current known as the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, whose spiraling motion caused waste to accumulate until it formed a huge, compact mass. Another plastic island is also located in the Pacific, but south of Chile. The Atlantic Ocean also has two enormous concentrations of waste, one near the Caribbean Sea and another between Argentina and South Africa. The last known concentration is found between Australia and South Africa in the Indian Ocean.\n Currently, in Europe only 30% of plastic waste is recycled.\n We need to stop buying disposable plastic, now.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cioffi Marco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56212970602882,"sku":"MCIO001","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/Un-oceano-di-plastica.jpg?v=1768407965"},{"product_id":"marco-cioffi-il-lato-oscuro-del-cioccolato","title":"Marco Cioffi - The Dark Side of Chocolate","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eMarco Cioffi's artistic practice draws on the school of Pollock and American Abstract Expressionism.

In fact, cocoa is one of the crops at risk of extinction, potentially disappearing by 2050. Côte d'Ivoire, for example, lost 328,000 hectares of forest in 2014, the equivalent of nearly 47 football fields.\n Reports revealed a corrupt system: corrupt park rangers accepted bribes to have smallholders cut down trees. The cocoa was then purchased by intermediaries and sold to international distributors like Barry Callebaut and Cargill, who supply it to Mars, Cadbury, and Nestlé. In recent years, however, there has been a drastic drop in prices and a resulting economic crisis in exporting countries.\r \nSmall cocoa farmers are the last link in the production chain. The harvest of cocoa beans, called pods, is carried out by underpaid workers exposed to pesticides, insect bites, snakebites, and machete wounds. They don't know chocolate because it's too expensive and destined for foreign countries, especially Western countries.\n The harvest is often carried out by children. Over a million children work on cocoa plantations, according to UNICEF research. The \"slave-free\" protocol was approved in 2001, but in 2010, child laborers were still employed on the plantations. This is also evidenced by the documentary \"The Dark Side of Chocolate,\" which focuses on child labor on cocoa plantations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cioffi Marco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56212970635650,"sku":"MCIO003","price":1320.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/Il-lato-oscuro-del-cioccolato.jpg?v=1768407965"},{"product_id":"marco-cioffi-i-paradisi-artificiali","title":"Marco Cioffi - Artificial Paradises","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eMarco Cioffi's artistic practice draws on the school of Pollock and American Abstract Expressionism.
