A digital soul, a tangible experience in the contemporary art paintings of Eugenio Tocchet

(Edited by Dr. Federico Caloi, art critic and curator, Milan) Eugenio Tocchet's work invites us on an introspective journey, where the digital merges with the tangible to create a profound visual and spiritual experience. The artist, with refined technical mastery, transforms digital images produced by him into physical works of art in exclusive unique copies or limited editions (modern or abstract paintings), inviting us to reflect on the relationship between man and technology, between the immaterial and the concrete.

His works, often defined as "apparent abstracts", conceal a complexity that goes beyond simple visual representation. They are like windows open onto a parallel universe, where the micro and the macro intertwine, giving life to compositions that vibrate with a subtle energy. The artist, with an attentive eye for detail, manages to capture the beauty hidden in the most common objects, elevating them to symbols of a deeper reality.

Eugenio Tocchet's work goes beyond simple visual representation, touching deep chords of the soul. His compositions evoke a sense of wonder and mystery, inviting the viewer to reflect on their own existence and their place in the world. His works are an invitation to look beyond the surface, to discover the beauty hidden in simple things. They are a reminder that reality is much more complex than it may appear at first glance and that art has the power to reveal hidden dimensions of our existence.

Eugenio Tocchet, through his artistic practice, creates a bridge between the digital and traditional worlds. The paintings created by the artist are an example of how technology can be used to create high-quality art, without sacrificing the human and artisanal aspect. The choice to print the works on canvas or fine art paper, with the addition of fine finishes, gives the works an aura of sacredness, underlining their unique artistic nature. The attention to detail, from the choice of colors to the composition, creates an intimate and engaging atmosphere, which invites the viewer to fully immerse themselves in the work. Eugenio Tocchet uses mixed digital techniques that combine the various disciplines with printing on canvas or fine art paper. This choice is not random, but is the result of a deep reflection on the nature of art and its ability to convey emotions. Printing on canvas, with its textures and shades, gives the works a materiality that makes them tangible and engaging. At the same time, the digital component allows the artist to experiment with shapes and colors, creating complex and evocative compositions.

The deep connection that Eugenio Tocchet's works create with the viewer represents a significant contribution to the panorama of contemporary art. His ability to combine digital aesthetics with artisanal mastery, combined with his profound reflection on the nature of reality, make his works unique and unforgettable. His works invite us on an introspective journey, an immersion into the depths of the soul and the universe. Through the lens of photography and digital illustration, the artist captures the beauty hidden in the simplest things, inviting us to reflect on the mystery of existence.

As the artist writes in his book "Mai per Caso": "Tomorrow can be a new day, in a new world, without fears about tomorrow to come, every day forever". This hope for a better future permeates his works, which reveal themselves as real "windows" open onto a possible world, where beauty and harmony reign supreme.

The artist's collections, such as "Human Essences", "Conceptual Horizons", "Ethereal Quadrants", "Mosaic Harmony", "Crystal Soul" and others (see www.eugeniotocchet.com) take us on a dreamlike journey, where forms dissolve and recompose, giving life to interior landscapes that resonate with our deepest emotions. The artist, like an alchemist, transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, revealing the beauty hidden in the apparent banality of reality.

Eugenio Tocchet invites us to ask ourselves fundamental questions: "Where does all this come from?", "What is the meaning of life?". These questions, which the artist explores in depth in his book, find an echo in his works, which become an invitation to reflection and meditation; it is the search for the most hidden meaning of being. The artist himself states: "Banality does not exist except in some thought and action of man. Everything is transcendental". This belief is manifested in his works, where even the most common objects, such as a plastic bottle or a leaf, become symbols of a deeper reality, full of hidden meanings. For this reason, going beyond his precious aesthetics, his art has a strong spiritual dimension. His works invite us to connect with something bigger than ourselves, to perceive the interconnection between all things. As Eugenio Tocchet writes: "There was no difference between the green meadow with daisies, dandelions alias and a boundless galaxy, dimensions aside".

Eugenio Tocchet invites us to look beyond appearances, to discover the hidden beauty in nature and the universe. His works are an invitation to rediscover our sense of wonder and to cultivate a deep respect for life in all its forms. Eugenio Tocchet's works are a precious legacy for future generations. They remind us of the importance of art as a tool for knowledge and transformation. Through his works, the artist invites us to build a better world, a world where beauty, creativity and spirituality guide our actions. Through the mastery of digital photography, digital illustration and the sensitivity of a poet, the artist leads us into a world of lights, shadows and suggestions, where beauty is hidden in apparent simplicity and infinity is revealed in the particular.

Each canvas is an open window to a parallel universe, where the laws of physics give way to the magic of imagination. The forms dissolve and recompose in a continuous flow, creating a sense of harmony and balance that resonates deeply with the soul of the viewer.

Eugenio Tocchet's art is intrinsically linked to his philosophical reflection. In his works, the artist explores universal themes such as existence, time, space and the nature of reality. Eugenio Tocchet's art is a spiritual experience that goes beyond simple visual contemplation. His works invite us to resonate with the vibrations of the universe, to connect with a source of energy greater than ourselves. As he himself writes: "Believing may not be just a question of faith; the latter would be strengthened if it also became a question of science or philosophy".

Eugenio Tocchet's art is an invitation to explore the mysteries of existence, to connect with our inner selves and to find beauty in the world around us. His works are a bridge between the visible and invisible worlds, an invitation to celebrate the wonder of life in all its forms.
