Tommaso Buldini

Tommaso Buldini, Bologna, 5-8-1979.

He has started his career as graphic designer and character animator working for clients like Coop, Basf and Philips; in 2017 he has begun his artistic walk, smiling everyday. His,…mine walk has begun like an unspected flashbolt, now art is my job, working as a painter, animating my monsters for videoclips and for Nonna Sime, a French Teatrical company leaded by Silvia Malagugini, ex collegue of the Nobel Prize Dario Fo’.

Smiling everyday.

Abstract

I try to abandon rationality by venturing through the antipodes of my intellect. Every piece of my subconscious, superficial or deep, needs to express itself. Through this coeval representation of disconnected fragments I try to speak a dreamlike language drifting through the darkness of the night, where the unbelievable and the unacceptable become plausible.

Each character I represent becomes the gear of an irrational machine that works in a deep dimension and emerges to trace a path that leads to self-awareness. I speak of the traumatic consequences of the imperceptible, which grows inside and loses identity becoming an inextricable part of who we are. I use bright colors and elements of childhood such as toys, soldiers, knights, demons and monsters. These icons, as time goes by, become a contradictory state of mind.
