"...archaism nourished by modernity and the Picassian schematisms that refer to a thought rather than a real vision. Different cultures and skillful techniques are concentrated in the work, which melt into a lightness that does not conform to the material, into an incorporeal levity of the love theme, into the desire to touch by caressing and to hold with the eyes the sensation of the soul."

"From the secret of the bottom, from the intimacy of darkness, springs the energy that will give flower and fruit, which will be a point of origin for another 'transformation.



The golden frame underscores and emphasizes the moment, the initiation, calls to the eyes the moment of blossoming, and that silver jewel is an 'anther, embroidered and discreet, offering fertile pollen."

"...he is reminiscent of the menhirs of Carnac, megalithic stones embedded in the ground to remind us perhaps of some valiant. He does not have the might, his stature is diminutive, but he comes with a body covered with silver wounds, rough and rugged to the touch as one who does not demand gentleness and we pay him respect.Only his cuts hurt us, a sign of struggles and hard fighting. We do not know his enemies, perhaps they are our own, we know nothing of him, for mute does his skin tell."

"... proudly displays her long hair, silky as horsehair, flowing like seaweed abandoned to the current. She expresses her sensuality modestly, cut out of the material, leaves the darkness behind and waits to take the first step. Little by little she reveals herself, the curtain that hides her opens, she emerges from the sea foam, ancient remnant, dripping and shining with water, and has her back to us.

She seems uninterested in who will see her, unconcerned with what lies behind her, disdainful or shy, we know she is beautiful from the line of her shoulders and hips, but she makes no gift of it, except with this fleeting image that shows no face."

"The 'artist is not a scientist, but he becomes one when he asks himself the same questions, uses his intuitive ability and sensitivity, tries to reveal hidden relationships, questions himself to find answers. We find, dissected, a mitochondrion, the energy source of the cell, the transformer, the engine. Opening it up is like trying to find out what makes it move, like a toy given to a curious child."

“I lean my heart on the stone to make it safe. It is a divided heart, between joys and sorrows, I don't know which part contains them. I haven't counted the times I've laughed and the times I've cried. It is a strong heart, I know, trained to battles, to efforts; it is a hard heart, of iron, to overcome the fear of night and darkness. It is a wounded heart, you see her brass scars, it is more precious for that. I lay it here so that you can look at it and discover the most secret part of me."

"The work conveys the drama of the individual, caught in the laces of conventions, imprisoned by the rules, academisms, and constraints from which our artist shuns, proposing to the attentive viewer a disenchanted investigation of the fears and struggles of breaking to be."

"Clear light, sunshine on the head, one lives immersed in this spiral of enthusiasm and joy, of fullness and openness. All this is in Manuela's work, a 'work as rich and full as a ripe fruit, a work of physical sensations translated with momentum into materials, of vibrant emotions that besiege the soul. It certainly recalls other summer landscapes, plundered is summer by art, but it rightly takes its own space, personal and private. Tall, strong, intense a clear symbol, the spiral that wraps and holds us, "red copper drum "1 in this moment of intoxication, while summer burns, ephemeral beauty, and time flows and leaves us."

"For a moment in front of this apparition we become children again, those who believe in the tooth mouse and the hag, we want to believe that she is there for us. She has read our minds and suddenly before she opens her mouth she immediately gives us a gift: a shining cascade coming out of her serene heart, an intertwining of rings and united silhouettes tinklingly falling one on top of the other and leaving them hanging, waiting for us to catch them to feel them real with our hands, because eyes sometimes deceive. Powerful and magical the dream came true, someone was the maker, someone suggests to us that dreaming can always, perhaps.."

"...Far more painful and bitter are the migrations of men, fleeing war and famine wanted by others, a river of frightened souls, abandoning their native land, tearing up roots and leaving already wounded, because one must leave, it is urgent to go, it is time to find other ways, other horizons, other tomorrows. Men and animals united by a single destiny, because they are made of the same substance."

"The 'footprint carved in plaster and marked by iron cuttings carries over them like a golden thread that embellishes them, a segmented Ariadne's thread full of singletons, present and shiny. This mysterious mark overlaps the footprint of the step and thus emphasizes their true value, compass and confirmation."

"In Archaica the tiara recalls a belt adorned with roses and dewdrops worn by a regal madonna. An indispensable accessory, handed down from mother to daughter, to the point of losing its origins, resting vertically, it waits to be worn, going to form, around the waist of the lady, a perfect closed circle, describing her chastity and taste for beauty."

"...The fear is that in the end a piece will be missing, that something will go wrong and the composition will not form, that a hole will be left in our story, a hole in our heart. Every day we add pieces to our puzzle, every hour the unexpected is lurking to keep us from continuing, every moment experience adds a piece to our baggage. It is not given to us to know, a priori as on the toy box, whether the end result of ours will be satisfactory or acceptable or still stumped and caked or so incomplete that it seems never begun. One has only to play, to the end, without being a child, to be a man."

"In this work, so unusual for a 'Lucanian artist, light is a need to fill the colored stucco with nuance, lunar and acerbic, gliding over bumps and streaks, shaping the molded and making it stand out, stopping movement and letting us see it. Clear, almost diaphanous colors to tell moon stories."

"How deep is the footprint of an angel? Reassuring is knowing that an angel is there. That mark has really left it for us. It doesn't matter where it is now. He passed by and left part of the wing trapped in matter." Wood, alabastrine plaster and acrylic color

"Stairs lead upward, one can go down, retracing the same steps is fatigue, anger, useless time, perhaps lost. If you look up it is easy to get discouraged, so much climbing to do, so many floors to overcome, gravity makes everything more difficult. But you trudge on, your legs getting more and more wooden, your breath short, your lungs aching. You climb, because that is where you want to get. In spite of everything. At any cost."

"...mastery in the use of techniques, inventive ability, it is the material itself that directs the birth of a piece, which will not only be a photographic representation of that moment of observation but a plunge into a whirlwind of emotions that will lead to the realization of a 'unique and extremely personal work."

"Close to each other, they scramble to get there, to be chosen to support the statue along the narrow streets of the village, uphill, on the stones of the alleys, between two wings of the crowd praying and supporting them, to be once protagonists of a mystery."

"The sinuous movement of the schematized bodies succeeds in conveying energy and vital momentum by giving the idea of chaotic currents of people, frenzied city dances at rush hour, where the value of singularity is lost to become a swarm, anonymous and colorless multitude. Figures meet, intertwine and unite as in everyday life, heedless in their going. And if this going is for humans as a continuous desire for knowledge in search of the very meaning of life, sometimes it turns into a futile race overwhelmed by the contingent and the afflictions of everyday life."

"A widely traveled theme, etched as early as on rocks in the Iron Age, the labyrinth comes to us through ancient myths and still shakes artists in the twentieth century, and even when it plays out in gardens with hedges and tall greenery it arouses disquiet. In this work the viewer is led to search with intense eyes for the traces of the path and is not freed from them unless he discovers the way out."
