Spazio Luce 1974

Antonio Calderara created "Spazio Luce" as part of his exploration of light and color, a path he forged amidst the tumultuous backdrop of post-war Europe. Calderara turned away from the chaos of the world, to find solace in the subtle interplay of light and color, producing quiet, meditative works like this one. His aesthetic reflected a desire for peace at a time when the world was still reeling from conflict. You can see the effect of the social and political changes of his time pushing him to create a new aesthetic vision, one that departed from traditional representations. Although his works are simple, they invite reflection, offering an alternative vision of harmony. His work encourages us to contemplate not only what we see but how we feel in response to it.
