This Mediterranean vision was born from the deconstruction of previously drawn and painted images; many possible worlds arise from the disintegration of the existing one. The composition explodes, the canvas comes to life.
The process is well known in the History of Art: the author "recovers and concentrates his creative action on the experience of collage carried out by Pablo Picasso as part of the analytical research of the modern season" (Del Guercio, 2018). Thus Zarattini reconstructs the places of memory and, as in memories, moves through stratifications and superimpositions in time. Images, colours and scents are settled on the canvas with papers and painting.
"When you look at his works, you feel as if you are looking through the window of a train running on the tracks - a kaleidoscope of landscapes now closer and now further away, and never completely in focus. Or, when the image seems to be fixed in an exact point on the canvas, you discover that under the foreground view there is also another view, and after another and another. It is his way of representing the world, his artist's signature: for Zarattini every composition is a decomposition" (Ainis, 2019).
