NEVRO.

text by Linda Morando di Custoza,

NEVRO is a Professor of Neurosurgery (PhD) with a strong passion for Art that has always been for him the definite removal of boundaries in Neurosurgery. In fact, in NEVRO’s work, the world of surgery, the human psyche and science come together to create spaces of inner dialogue, making art an extension of neurosurgical practice and exposing his understanding of the brain while displaying recurrent feelings that arise in the clinical practice. His artwork is presented as abstract and experimental, offering elements necessary to understand his vision of reality, directly inspired by the world of neurosurgery, a complex and mysterious world that creates a strong connection with mind and emotions. His work, therefore, has an encouraging message but disturbing thoughts may be mixed in some pieces. Battlefield, weapons, game, probabilities and self-control are recurrent themes in his paintings, which are obvious insights of Neurosurgery. Another important element in his work is the ready-made, used with the desire to seek something that goes beyond the traditional painting technique, in favour of a new and more conceptual procedure: he manages to combine his own carving and painting technique, using same tools present in the neurosurgical theatre (such as scalpel blades, rongeurs and drills), characterised by an evident symbolic realism. Paraphrasing Hippocrates: ‘Life is short, Art is long’.
