A highly experienced artist, defined by irrepressible research and continuous experimentation that has distinguished different periods of her artistic career.
But it was at the end of the 1980s that “painting painting” gained the upper hand, and he himself says:
“I paint the concept of painting, I paint the act of painting, I have been painting the same painting for thirty years (and a little more), I paint as I write, I paint as Lester Young played the sax (less well), I paint to destroy the space of painting, I paint to create my own, I paint because I am happy, I paint because I am sad, I paint to not die (like everyone), I paint because I love life I don’t know what people will do with my painting, nor with that of everyone else.”
In those years Patelli frantically painted large works starting from the size 100 x 70: a mixed technique on paper where there is no shortage of collage or some slashes, all framed in a thin white or black frame with glass or Plexiglass.
From the multiplication of that measurement, works reaching up to 4 meters were initiated.
