Artworks

Artistic Journey

These artworks represent the visual crystallization of several years of the artistic journey of the artist Enrico Ibrahim Deiana; this is an existential research concerning the figurative arts, which esperimentation did not dwell at all on academic technique, quite ignored in the creation of these works during this period, but solely on the content-based message, at the expense of aesthetics.
Having already mastered figurative techniques in academic exercises and in private practice, and during teaching to his students, the artist deemed it necessary to focus on paths still unknown to him, namely understanding the ultimate purpose of his art and gaining an overall comprehension of figurative art, in order to create a bridge between tradition and modernity.
The works are a testimony to a thematic and philosophical research that has touched on fields such as the damages of contemporary society, modern alienation, pollution seen in more pantheistic terms, war, the concept of visual poetry and spirituality, attempting to convey these themes even simply through the representation of a face.
It is an artistic period, now concluded, that will lead to his next artistic evolution: an academic technique that carries a profound message.

Drawings and Ideas

Some of the artist’s drawings, which he primarily creates to draw inspiration for his future painting projects; they are usually enriched with written notes in order to extract from his unconscious the idea he feels compelled to express; the works typically originate from scenes that project themselves into his mind and of which he must understand the intrinsic meaning (this is connected to the concept of the collective unconscious).
He does not proceed with the continuation of the artwork until he perceives genuineness, essentiality and profound meaning; these feelings can only be sensed by the observer by surrendering themselves to the artwork.

Adolescence Artworks

For reasons of a historiographical nature it has been decided to present some youthful works, created during the artist’s self-taught period (between the ages of 14 and 17).
Some paintings are already early attempts to convey meanings that were significant to the artist at the time, while other artworks are simple technical exercises and copies; although they do not hold significant importance from an artistic standpoint, they gain value as a historical testimony to the author’s evolutionary journey.
