(from 1990 to 2011)

Sign, light and colour are the elements that Vincenzo Balsamo uses to play expressive game.
It is an operation the artist performs under the sign of grace and lightness, letting the images
come out as if a dream, 'the place where the lines of geometry and imagination live togeter'.
The sign outlines the forms, the colour connotes the emotional field, while the light
dematerializes the vision which only apparently appears unobjective. ...
Enzo De Martino
(by: E. Crispolti, Vincenzo Balsamo, monography, 1992, p. 58, ed G. Corbelli)
