Light and Colour
The energetic paintings of Aldo Rota are as wonderfully colorful as the man himself. He is art's best friend with an exceptional humanity and respect for the artist. I believe that as a child he was told the tale of the silver coloured moon in the dark sky that had captured two fundamental colours, ( black and white ), to divide the twenty-four hours of the day.

Energy, colour, matter
Energy and colour are both in a pure and primary state. The matter is: sand, marble powders pigments mixed to small crystals that when explored allow you to be drawn closer and also gives the surface of the painting rests and falls, urgencies and abyss, creating a skin with a geologic, mineral aspect.

Under the skin
On the subject of a recent exhibition in Milano of the works of Aldo Rota, Luciano Caprole elaborated on the characteristics of his painting such as the absolute freedom of expression that is not linked to models or movements, the use of clear, bright colours, the cultural nomadism insinuated by the chosen subjects.

Freedom and silence
All those who have written about Aldo Rota - from Ada Masoero to Osvaldo Patani, from Victor De Circasia to Marina Mojana - have emphasized that his paintings give energy and feed from colour. These words are recurrent from all those that have spoken about him.
