Pizzi Cannella works with cryptic signs, symbols and spaces of memory. His paintings tend to be borne of a calm, almost meditative visual language, in which everyday motifs, fragments of the body and cultural symbols converge into compositions that are legible and enigmatic in equal measure.

His series Salon de Musique features large-format black paintings with grand chandeliers that charge the space they inhabit with an intense atmosphere oscillating between elegance, absence and memory. Cannella is deeply interested in colour, surface and the poetic potential of the image. His works seem like fragments of stories that are not fully told but continue to live on in the space between the visible and the remembered.
