With the exhibition Oltremare, the artist Emanuele Dottori explores the underwater depths in painting, and from this sounding emerge the forms of life that populate the abyss: algae, corals, jellyfish, schools of fish and bioluminescent creatures, but also the inaccessible seabeds, which Dottori reaches with imagination and with his painting, giving us back the atmosphere of a place that represents the very limit of the knowable and the observable.
His inquiry, however, is also introspective: Oltremare is in fact an invitation to venture into those depths that are within us, to go beyond the surface and descend into the depths of what we do not know about our own self, to cross the sea of what we are in order to overcome boundaries known to us and begin an essential adventure of knowledge, the true essence of our existential journey.
