interview
alfredo genovese artist
by Sara Spinetto
What is “fileteado porteño” and how did your relationship with filete start? Fileteado is a popular decorative art form originating from the horse cart factories of Buenos Aires in the early 20th Century. I became interested in Fileteado when I was an art student at the school of Bellas Artes but I began to study the basics and learned to appreciate this artform thanks to two great master Fileteado painters outside of the school. Is all about the pleasure of painting, the joining of colors and shapes together or does your artwork carry any particular message? TIt’s actually both things. My artwork does carry a message, which can be inferred through the figures themselves or can be directly expressed through a particular copy part. The colorful compositions of the fileteado are an iconographic way of expressing ideas and concepts.
Why many international brands are taking it up as a style? How would you describe your relationship with the market and the brands? Fileteado today is widely appreciated and generally recognized as art as it conveys a sense of tradition, handcraft and undoubtedly reflects the Argentinian society and spirit. It is perhaps for these reasons that many companies choose to take it up and get their brands represented through Fileteado. For me, it is a great challenge and satisfaction to create images that get usually reproduced all around the world! What’s the most exciting part of your job? The most exciting part of my job is the exact moment when I finally get the idea right and I know exactly what I am going to create. I do also love working on my own, not for commission. Besides your work, what are your passions? Besides my work, my other great passion is travelling and I often get the chance to combine both which is great! What fascinates you? For me, it’s cities. There are things that bond us no matter our different beliefs, backgrounds, color of skins, place of birth ... big cities are magnificent mosaic of lives, the connective tissue bridging the multicultural, dense and disparate humanity trying to remain true to itself and build connections. How do you feel about big cities? Do they fascinate you? What’s your relationship with your hometown?
Cities are a vital phenomenon, where the experiences of different people and different cultures come together. I love getting lost in a city and wandering around, getting surprised by what I accidentally see or find. Nevertheless, in the few past years, Buenos Aires, the city where I was born and where I live, has become a very chaotic and difficult place to live in and I get quite frustrated by this. Work, any work, is subject to change, is a learning process. How travelling, visiting and living in different places, exposed to different cultures, has influenced you and your work? Certainly. While travelling, I had the opportunity to see different artwork forms that have widely stimulated my creativity. Sometimes I also spotted interesting similarities between these art forms and the Fileteado itself, e.g with the beautiful European Neoclassical Trompe l’oeil or the exquisite Tibetan Thangka Paintings!
More in detail, people affect us more than things and quite often in deeply emotional ways. We need art sometimes to make sense of that and give it a bit of distance. Does it sound true to you in your personal experience? How much family, friends and common people you meet/have met have influenced you and your work? If I have to mention people that influenced my artistic life, I can surely start with my great-grandfather, who was Italian and used to work as a decorative painter of public buildings. But also my mother’s drawings in my school notebooks and some brilliant friends that constantly guided me in my work. But definitely, were my students who taught me more about fileteado, throughout all the years that I was teaching. “Fileteado porteño” needs to be carried on through practice and sharing. What do you like the most about passing on this artform to other people? What kind of advice have for beginners? Practice and observation are very important to learn fileteado. Above all, you have to be patient and always try to invent something new, to create your own style, different from others artist.
What’s the weirdest place you have ever left your mark on? A few years ago, I had to paint a live bull of more than 1000 kg! It was a challenge! What do you hope to accomplish with your work? Getting to be recognized as a classic, always trying to do something new. What sort of future projects to you have in mind? My next project is to develop Fileteado tutorials in order to be able to teach this art form through the Net. I am also thinking about an exhibit displaying my most bizarre work, painted over the last ten years. Let’s see.
