The sensorial experiences of the body are the foundation of our relationship with the world: they allow us not only to perceive the matter with its quality and consistency in space, but also to relate it by activating the intelligence, emotions, feelings.
And the artist is the very one that combines these learning experiences with his tendency to sublimate the everyday life in a creative synthesis and poetic original, while maintaining awareness of the context in which they live.
The "tactile" certainly plays an important part in this aesthetic relationship between human reality and because of its nature as an "analytical sense," able to trace the shapes and therefore lead to an awareness of themselves, of their symbolic and conceptual, to the essence of the matter.
Already Bernard Berenson wrote. "..in art .. what matters is to stimulate the consciousness of tactile values, so that the work is worth at least the object represented in the ability to stimulate the tactile image .." and pointed out that the painter should be ".. able to stimulate the tactile feeling .. " to build the third dimension.
