« The art of Giacomo Failla aimed at understanding the full meaning of being in existence, which often offers us snapshots assuming the complexity of what we have experienced: a smell, a taste, a colour, a visual detail. Every picture presents a specific situation which has offered itself to him and to which he has reacted, a flash, which happens to us when dreaming or awake. In his work the artist reconstructs fact together with consciousness, in a dynamic, active representation where all the elements give off energy. But the representation-construction of these moments of existence also becomes a representation of a primal universe, in which the elements, apparently chaotic, find a dynamic order, a harmony as synthesis of the tension of colours and lines. » – Franco De Grazia
