The Artist writes: "Interludes is a series project that takes shape from light. It is a new project for an artist who has worked so much on darkness and black. In this series instead, color is used: the blue is very strong and blends with a light that generates and is generated by the corporeality of blue. The material is more delicate, harmonious. This is the first work in which the darkness is not black, but is formed by the mixing of burnt earth and ultramarine blue. A darkness that lives from its relationship with the blue and its vitality: a darkness that is therefore not empty. It is a series that wants to give back body to a body that is not there, but that he and we can experience as if by reflection, following the traces of a luminosity that moves up to the mystery of the sky."

Francesco Mina, class of 1997.
Francesco Mina was born in Turin in 1997. He currently lives and works in Milan.
Self-directed, he approached art in high school, after being fascinated by meeting different artists. These encounters soon pushed him to start his own path. After a few years of experimentation, his first series on paper was born in 2016, in which the theme of identity emerges, a search for one's own face through the transfiguration or disintegration of the face of others. The intense impact that this first project has, however, leads him to a period of hiatus, of distance from art.
But art keeps coming back, like an unquenchable need, and the artist decides to accept and embrace it by taking a studio in Milan, where he can devote himself only to it.
Subsequent works are marked by a strong material connotation: rags, ashes, wood - materials charged with life, which from that moment become part of the artist's poetics.
Currently, in addition to working in his own studio, the artist is a member of the cultural association Pandemia for which he actively collaborates as an organizer of artistic events.
