Mario Borgna - Untitled

In the history of art, a clear distinction can often be made between figurative and abstract stylistic movements. However, when an artist's goal is to represent an object that resonates with phenomenal reality but is also charged with hidden and symbolic meaning, this boundary can become blurred. Symbolism and Expressionism are emblematic stylistic movements in their conceptual interpretation of reality, with an iconic rendering of images and a symbolic interpretation in the use of color.

The sculpture presents a formal synthesis in which the artist, while maintaining a figurative appearance, has eliminated any possible particular or physiognomic reference. What remains is a completely depersonalized iconic image whose beauty lies precisely in the objective aesthetic value of its purity of form. In this regard, by seeking rigorous formal beauty, Borgna also aesthetically pursues a purity of line in the composition. This also takes on a certain symbolic value, highlighting the presence of internal pathways and ramifications within the individual's ego.
