Oil on canvas - Title: "Dimensions: 70 X 50 cm, dated 1993" Author: Franco Balleri (1940) Franco Balleri, painter and sculptor, rare works - Here are some reviews: Franco Balleri, brilliant painter, but above all a builder of wooden machines. The latter are divided between static installations, where the figures in his paintings seem to take on a three-dimensional form, and dynamic installations which, thanks to complex mechanisms, give life to original "fuel-free engines." Balleri's idea is to design engines driven by minimal forces, then multiplied by the action of pistons and pulleys. "I am not an engineer, " says Balleri, "but I would like a mechanical technician in the future to be inspired by my machines to create real engines, using suitable materials and taking into account the laws of physics.".
