BIFIDO
is an Italian artist who uses art to create a strong impact on social issues such as war, violence, capitalism, religion and childhood. His work seems animated by a game instinct. That he exists is the world like a builder of sand castles by the sea: he creates, the sea destroys, he again creates. Compound images involve things that happen in the world or socially significant attitudes. He usually portrays children. This choice is not accidental: the child, like the animal, represents the other, something that can never be totally absorbed because it escapes the codifications. A child, however obedient, retains something elusive not yet decided, which lingers on the threshold of the possible. The humanity of his works is sad and problematic but preserves the possibility that things are different. After all, the message is simple, everyone has the creative power of a child playing.
Paste Up Technique
After Bifido finalizes the concept of the overall idea and the draft (written, drawn or digitally realized), he shoots the photos in the studio. Usually, they are just single subjects that he digitally edits later on and prints on paper. Another important stage in his process comes right between shooting photos and attaching them to the walls - it’s when he rearranges the initial draft using the photos to better define distances, volumes, and measures. Laid-back and never in a hurry, Bifido lets everything to leave a mark on him. For the artist, many different things are a source of inspiration, from literature and photography to everyday situations. Not the things themselves, but the kind of relationship Bifido establishes with them determinates his later artistic flow and artworks that he creates.
