(Maxo Ruggiero)

Maxo Ruggiero, also known as Qvanto, is a visual artist born and residing in Rome.

He began his artistic studies up to the first year of the painting academy. Despite his high level of professionalism in the advertising sector, he describes himself as self-taught. He collaborates as a freelance visualizer for leading advertising and editorial agencies, providing consultancy to creative and account project departments.

In 2015, he started creating the first acrylic paintings of the Qvanto project, which he later evolved by integrating digitally printed elements on canvas. His artistic research aims to highlight the affinities between natural and digital elements, exploring the artistic definition of a quantum field and the concept of symmetry as an objective creative act. His main goal is to find the "grace" that a painting can bring to an environment and the eternity of a portrait.

This is Qvanto.

Vernissage
Tuesday 28 May 18:30-21:30

The exhibited works are part of a project started in 2015.
The project is called “Qvanto.”

The basic concept metaphorically borrows from the pillar on which quantum physics is founded.

“The observer arbitrarily creates reality and in that moment causes the collapse of matter, whose previous state is in flux.”

Here arises the theoretical possibility of the hologram, as well as the possibility of explaining a concept that is “simple, yet ambiguous” (cited from Elio e le Storie Tese).

Starting from the phenomenology of matter, I found myself in a quantum field,
for the straight path was lost…
My research can be summarized through these fundamental paths:
The seemingly chaotic space, which invites me to let myself flow among visual paradoxes.
The idea that this new dimension, at the border with ours, is defined through a multiversal sheet on which I decided to work, with the patience of a player aiming to complete a level of a video game without real instructions.
Highlighting the concept of “Symmetry” as a creative act of Euclidean geometry that artificially perfects the act of creating biological life.
But above all:
The pursuit of “Grace” that a painting can bring to an interior.
The intention to create portraits that can be loved and thus preserved for the future.
This is Qvanto.
