Rio De Janeiro, September 13, 2010 - “The basis of Lucio Salvatore's artistic thinking is the belief that the world today tends to compress more and more the spaces where individuals can act freely in order to developing their personality to fulfill their destiny.
He chose a fluid, OUR BLOOD to irrefutably testify about the necessity for every human being to return to his own being:
The blood has structural characteristics similar to all human beings, but at the same time provides for each of them a very accurate reading of our specific essence.
To Salvatore blood is the perfect language to create portraits of people that he chooses, that he creates by splashing their element on transparent Plexiglas.
Blood that people have donated previously, once used to create the artworks, combines the physicality with the essence of people.
Through the use of blood Salvatore celebrates the individuality of its subjects/models, “rebelling to the conforming forces of the system that tends to Vampirize people's freedom (Salvatore)”.
The choice of blood, therefore, arises from the urgency to witness a direct and unambiguous attitude of RETURN TO OUR BEING – to our own being and to both our own identity and that of others, perceived as essential in this time.
In these portraits, people that have been chosen are not unaware individuals, bitten and sucked by beings living a false-existence. They are individuals who are willing and proud to express themselves so fully by using their most valuable element and so essentially with their bloodstream, to want to share it in a total and immediate dialogue with the artist and us.
In conclusion, according to my reading of the artist portraying and the people/models portrayed, they collaborate in a dialogue from which emerges a new character never staged before Salvatore: the artist as the ANTI-VAMPIRE. "

ONE BLOOD - Introduction
THIS IS A PROJECT DEDICATED TO THE EXPLORATION OF HUMAN BEINGS’ ESSENCE
The heart of this body of work is a series of portraits that Salvatore creates with the subjects’ own blood.
This project started in Rio De Janeiro, a city of great contrasts, social disparity and racial issues that inspired the artist to work on the element common to all human beings: their own blood… RED
Symbol of the identity of human beings, Blood is the fundamental substance from which people differences are rooted.
The artworks will preserve forever the subjects’ blood and create a legacy for the generations to come: a new organic portrait of our time.
