Jean Cordova
Is a sculptor and painter. He has started to draw in young age, and his father and the intuitive experiencehas been his first masters. He has unclear memories of his beginnings, unless that I often observed his father shaping sand portraits on the foreshore. They lasted for a night time or survived until the crash of a wave, leaving inside hisself a significant and fundamental memory. In particular, the void around these sculptures was of crucial importance in his mind. After his studies at the arts high school in Tempio Pausania, from 1997 to 2002, he attended the sculpture courses at the Academy of Fine Arts of Carrara. Later, after he move from the town of Darmstadt (Germany) to Milan, he has attended the courses of Industrial Design at the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED – Milano) from 2004 to 2007. Since 2003, painting has become a part of his expression and work. In that same period of time, he improved his knowledge through the reading of poetical and philosophical books such as: Aesthetic Theory (Ästhetische Theorie) by Theodor Adorno, The Plasmic Image and The Sublime is Now by the painter Barnett Newman, A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful by Edmund Burke, and many others, in particular texts written by the Presocratics. After then, on May 2010 he met the Italian painter Claudio Olivieri who conditioned his way to observe the art and the surrounding world. Then, in the spring of 2016 I cofounded the Gruppo Culturale Zaum. Since February 2018 he has contributed to the online cultural-philosophical magazine Interesse Nazionale with the philosopher Diego Fusaro, its founder and director, publishing his pieces on the art and poetry column Nazionalpopolarte (Nationalpopulart). He started to exhibit my works in 1998. He lives and works between Sardinia and Milan.
