A NEW ARTISTIC LANGUAGE OF PRESENCE
Matericismo is an artistic-philosophical movement in which the wounded soul of the artist entrusts itself to matter and, in faith, finds healing. It reminds humanity that there will be peace in the world only when each person transforms their own suffering into light.
A journey born in the silence of a wound carved into the earth. Suffering was the point of departure, a passion asking for a gesture, a passage through which to become peace. In the solitude of a case, I discovered that when pain finds no words, it seeks matter. And matter, when you truly listen to it, it gives back light. This is how Matericismo was born: from the dialogue between my wound and matter, from silence becoming form, from faith transforming the weight into healing. Since then, I have lived between matter and silence, writing, praying, meditating, allowing every gesture to find its own truth. The works are born this way, not simply to be created, but to continue the transformation. And of this journey, I have written books, so that the voice born in silence cannot be misunderstood and may reach those who carry within themselves the same wound.

THE POWER OF MATTER, A BOOK OF ART THERAPY & INNER HEALING
This book was not born from a project, but from a necessity. Matter saved me in the days when words were no longer enough, and every page you read is a reflection of that journey. I did not write to explain, but to bear witness. This New Revised and Expanded Edition is enriched with new reflections and renewed form. It is not a simple reprint, but the continuation of a path that keeps growing and transforming. If these lines resonate with you, it will be because we share the same need: to give shape to pain and discover that, within matter, a new light can be born.
The Power of Matter is the first volume of a broader journey. It will be followed by many other books, each dedicated to the dimensions of Matericisim: the origin, the gesture, the wound, time, presence, the home, the light.
- Francesco Scarinci, hermit artist
