Abele is an Italian sculptor and painter. Winner of an Academic Chair, he devoted himself from an early age to marble art. He attained from the ancient Masters, the classical abilities and techniques of the Old Continent. He works for a national and an international public. He exploits with great virtuosity the characteristics of the materials and uses science to build machines and technologies that help him to foster his creativity and bring with manual ability the subject matter to an extreme lightness and transparency. He carefully studies the shape of things. Behind his philosophy lay hidden metaphysical, oneiric themes and different symbology. He believes in the “Job” of the artist. Even if his art is contemporary, he implements Renaissance methods, and he is obsessed by transfiguration from the real. In the painting series of reflections “Reflex”, born from alchemical studies and from scientific research (painted on velvet silk with the dust of gold, silver, and precious metals that he preserves when he works on his jewels models) he experiments with a new technique like a new expression of art. In his artworks, the observer is individually invited to explore the painting, which changes with the light in a multiplicity of facets. The photography and the videos never give the real idea of this unique collection that can be seen only from the human eyes. Dreamlike and metaphysical, visible and invisible, matter and antimatter are some themes. One of the recurring themes is the feather: symbol of our time, tacit and silent announces the fragility of our state, is a mirror of an evolved and fragile human personality. Symbol of the ‘Carpe Diem’, that sums up the importance of the concept of the flow of the ‘time’ that changes our fate. The research on shape, space and time, is very important for the artist and brings him close to the most recent scientific history from the theory of relativity to the discoveries in astrophysics.
