Kiro has such a need of freedom that he desires constantly to get away from the painting magnetism and escape towards physically palpable regions, in order to touch them up with his camera and to dip his pictorial cosmic universe in the accessible lands of ethnos groups, and of the nature’s, which our planet abounds.
Kiro traveled all over the world with a canvas of 48 m2, Planetarium, and accomplished the painting inspired by various cultures encountered along his journey, from the most emblematic place to the most eccentric. The film Planetarium, a witness of the epic adventure, inspired the choreographer Debbie Wilson to create a performance.
His transcription from film to painting and painting to film is a transcendence of the visual movement connected to matter and color, to rewrite reality, to re-establish the reference symbols of our everyday life, to propose them lacking in taboo and sectarian references.
The work of Kiro reached a gasp between the breakout of the painting and the testimony of the camera, which tirelessly questions himself on his intrinsic version of the Creation. Life sits in his work lit up by emotions creating chaos, which facilitates him to fit into the resonance of higher spas.
