Passionate about art since he was a child, even though he has seriously begun his artistic activity in his mature age, Signore shows himself more and more as an "underdog" of this sector, a "late" artist as defined by the magazine "A Levante" and absolutely out of the usual channels of the art world, but able to demonstrate day after day that it is never too late to follow your dreams. Precisely because of these premises, in his pictorial research we can see how he goes against that tendency often frequent in contemporary art, aimed at proposing often incomprehensible works, going instead to recover that emotional role and that social function that art has always owned.
Light, vibrant color and chromatic contrasts make up the three key elements of this artist's pictorial painting of different souls, whose lively color, sometimes violent, turns towards two-color compositions played on black and white or on the contrast between strong colors, almost like a pictorial metaphor of life itself with its pleasant sides and the darkest ones. Perhaps precisely because of these peculiarities his works capture the observer, they attract him within the canvas, transporting him to another dimension, in a journey between the unconscious and reality where the latter is forced to free himself from all the chains that grips its existence, hovering in a courageous flight to life.
A striking example is given by one of the most esteemed critical and public works such as Bataclan, in which the artist presented what should be in his opinion the attitude of art towards the events that characterize the era today. In fact, for some time he has been a supporter of art as a tool for telling contemporaneity: describing the world, the emotions and the phenomena of existence, without necessarily giving value judgments.
Through painting he tries to evoke different sensations, investigating the depths of the human soul in order to trigger a dialogue between artist and observer that goes beyond individuality, becoming a message for humanity. This idea, which could easily turn into a new artistic movement (avant-garde contemporary), from a strictly technical point proposes a style that stresses color and shape contrasts, producing on the contrary a harmonious effect that stimulates emotions, talking to people and their cognitive world made of expectations, hopes and dreams, so troubled by the context of crisis in which we live.
