GIUSEPPE MULAS

ARTIST STATEMENT

​

Mulas' work has autobiographical traits and is inspired by everyday life. In particular from his recent experience earlier this year when he travelled for four months to the Amazon regions and shared his habits and experiences with members of an indigenous rainforest community for a month. Impressed by the indigenous people's use of discarded and recycled tyres to create everyday objects, upon his return to Italy, Mulas created The Vital Connection of a Creeper, a large sculpture made of recycled tyre rubber.

​

A contemporary version of the snake enveloping Laocoon, the sculpture is composed of scale-like rubber cuttings. Installed in Syracuse at the Antico Mercato di Ortigia, curated by Demetrio Paparoni, The Vital Connection of a Creeper also gave a twist to the artist's pictorial production, which in several cases replaced the canvas used as a support for his paintings with a weave made from recycled tyre scales.

In his paintings, Mulas delves into the realms of autobiography and surrealism, exploring the

intricate interplay between light and darkness. His paintings serve as a canvas for introspection,

contemplating an infinite expanse of fantasies with personal nuances.

Enriched by autobiographical elements taken from daily encounters and experiences, Mulas'

recent immersion in the Amazonian regions constituted a crucial moment in the evolution of his

artistic path. Spending four transformative months among the indigenous rainforest community

profoundly influenced his creative vision, suggesting a compelling juxtaposition between the

Amazonian Odyssey and the rustic landscapes linked to the artist's Sardinian origins.
