His whirlwinds of boats on the canvases reproduce imaginary journeys with impossible routes, the result of associations, sensations and connections that derive from the same materials. A calculated musicality, told by the waves of paper folded in the form of objects linked to the theme of travel, unfolds on the works of Gusmaroli, where the research ranges from the concept of lightness to the relationships of light and shadow, full and empty, action and non-action .
