Caminiti works with an abstract language, which owes much to the informal tradition, but his work is enriched by suggestions that come from street art, graffiti and the new European painting. Alex Caminiti's path has proceeded backwards, from a fundamentally classical pictorial research, made of attention to the Italian Renaissance and twentieth - century Italian figure and lesson, to a rediscovered expressive freedom, which finds its essential and dominant foc al point in the method of the autonomy of gesture and the absolute independence of colour.

Today, the predominant feature of Caminiti's poetics is the mad and chaotic regeneration of form, where it has been previously deconstructed, destroying the relation ship with the representation of reality.
His quick and joyous gesture is looking for the road of an autonomous, mature, original gesture that appears, on one side completely detached from the informal traditions that underlie it, and at the same time it is conscious that it can’t because It contains all of them inside, So It ends up to become, almost against the will of the artist himself, a very happy remix of suggestions, references and quotations.
