COMPLETE COLLECTION
SERIES
ABSTRACT
The ABSTRACTS series represents Giglia's collection with the greatest strength of synthesis. In it, the two influences that have most marked her since the beginning of her career are clearly discovered: Primitive Art and Cubist Art. Today, they are highly sought-after works to complete minimalist environments.
Animals and Deities
The animal world is observed by Giglia from its natural beauty and from a cultural perspective. The one in which animals represent a sublimated world.
Particularly inspiring are the Greek and Etruscan mythological figures.
Trees and plants
Trees protect us, plants feed us, and the infinite harmony they have created amazes us. Born from this state of contemplation are these multiple versions of Trees of Life: a human symbol of fertility and good fortune.
And, taken together, forests, reed beds and mere branches.
Human figures
In this series, the strong influences of great 20th-century artists are showcased: Gauguin, Modigliani, Klimt, Lautrec, Picasso. This work takes not only admiration for their styles from these artists but also their passion for discovering the language that inhabits us.
Seascapes
The Giglia-proposed technique of Relief Acrylic is explained particularly in this series through three variations:
. Acrylic with sand: strokes of white acrylic with which the raised drawing is created, to which sand is added to make it stand out even more.
. Acrylic without sand, always with drawn lines.
. Acrylic with a palette knife, to create less defined and more expressive textures.
The Mediterranean Sea in all its vastness has always been your greatest source of inspiration.
Atlases
Also, a map suggests very different perspectives.
Each gaze obeys its era, its cultural parameters.
Giglia addresses two very contrasting viewpoints:
World maps with a Renaissance feel and World maps with a modern minimalist style.
Each in different versions.
Sun Moon
Representing the Sun and the Moon has been the task of all humanity. Observing them as celestial bodies, as gods, as symbols. Giglia proposes a certain humanisation, gestures that invite calm and a sense of belonging to the Universe.
The sun and the moon appear to touch each other lovingly. The concentric and spiralling shapes represent the pattern with which the galaxies are organised in the sky, that is to say: Light.
Reasons of the Earth
The Mediterranean villages are closely linked to Giglia’s genetic heritage, as both his mother’s and father’s families come from there.
The hills, the cultivated fields, the scattered architecture, the integration between landscape and civilisation. All elements that combine in semi-Cubist compositions of an evocative character.
URBANOS
Each city is a drawing. Each one was built around a source of life.
Each one explains itself without words through its monuments, its architecture.
This series brings together examples where Giglia has allowed himself to be influenced by different urban wonders, returning a version translated into his style to our eyes.
Wine and Music
Coincidentally or not, music and wine have grown hand in hand since ancient cultures.
This is why this series brings together both themes.
Both have in common sinuous lines combined with straight lines, a characteristic compositional pattern.
