Mirko Baricchi is a painter who challenges painting in its executive possibilities. He works with rapid and persistent gestures and intervenes on the canvas in a continuous drafting and removal of color. It produces an informal image that acquires complete form in the artist's mind and becomes a landscape, a further world, in the observer's psyche.

The canvas lends itself to being a threshold towards mental spaces open to the path of the gaze, walks in indefinite valleys, where the pilgrim's compass is lost in continuous games on transparencies.
