De Scisciolo explores tradition and conventions, overcoming them through a personal and original approach. His research investigates the assonances between linguistic observation and form, as conventional symbols, translating them into a new sense and meaning in a conceptual balance that travels between the poetic and the ironic, between the provocative and the reassuring, with a hyperreal rendering that does not forget the taste for form and representation. His sensitive ability to interact with the environment in various contexts, from natural to historical and social, allows his installations to become a pretext for reflections, reasoning and rediscoveries.
