[...] Using the instruments of painting with absolute freedom, Balsamo produces
a catalogue of data with a precise function, that is to establish a contact - more private than aesthetic - made dynamic by the quickness of optical-perspective movements, looking for a dialectic relationship where the significant element, that is man, may be present even if physically absent. He obtains that through an accretive process of form, inside which, as in the flux of breading, the shifty image creates singular suspensions where his itinerary gets to maturity. [...]
