The research of Serena Gamba revolves around the meaning of Painting and its declinations in relation to the other visual and applied arts.
The images of the History of Art, emptied of their original meaning, are reworked to bring out their essential nature, far from flawed and preconceived forms.
The genres and materials of painting, the bases of spoken and written language, the constituent elements of drawing and geometry are condensed into new structures and primary signs, activating at the same time a process of negation and reconstruction of a new image. These structural elements, whether sculptural or pictorial, define an architecture, a visual alphabet, directing and leaving full freedom of interpretation and reworking. Therefore, drawing from the things of the world, whether they are Classical works or primordial forms, to redefine a personal imagination and generate an aesthetic and formal sensitivity towards the inexplicable mystery of Painting.
