BRUNO DI MAIO

Collaboration Marius Markowski/Paloma de la Torre

LA VOZ
...Entonces me encolericé y maldije, con la maldición de un interior que se rompe por dentro, de la tormenta, de los rayos que se encienden intermitentemente coléricos… y quedaron mis ojos derramados en lágrimas. Y en el cielo se dejaron de encender las estrellas, y el trueno murió, y las bombillas que me alumbraran no tuvieron luz, y el cauce del mar permaneció inamovible. 

Miré la limpieza del espejo, que había cambiado; y los cristales me miraban empañados; y en el espejo se leía: INGENUA
Y mis ojos cayeron sobre aquella esquina de una pared blanca, miré mi reflejo y mi rostro estaba pálido, mientras me iba deslizando hacia el suelo. Y alcé bruscamente la cabeza que apoyaba mi mano, y sosteniéndome sobre la pared, escuché. Pero no se oía ninguna voz en toda la vasta soledad que me embargaba, y la gran dama que me miraba desde el espejo decía: INGENUA. Y la gran dama se reflejó ausente, desapareció tras el vaho, tan solemne era mi carrera tras ella, al punto que dejé de verla…

BRUNO DI MAIO

Bruno Di Maio was born in 1944 by Italian parents in Tripoli, Libya. He lives and works in Tuscany: Italy. Bruno has worked many years in the fine art restoration field, acquiring a prodigious technical ability. His work reflects his great love for renaissance painting, yet at the same time a strong desire for expressive autonomy. Di Maio tries successfully, in his allegorical and surrealistic interpretation of the present to give life to the recollective quality of the past. The originality of his vision is seen in the sumptuous subject matter, the quality of his chiaroscuro and the dramatic light effects on the figures and objects in his paintings. His work is happy, carnal, rich in color and vibrant with light. In addition to painting, his artistic training extends to sculpture, engraving, excellent watercolors as astounding Trompe L'oeil mural painting.
