This mixedmedia expressive work represents my international backthrough in the art scene.

  
Is inspired by the ancient classical myth of Eracle (Hercules) and the 12 efforts that the hero had to overcome to redeem himself from madness.

  
* _Exhibited in the group show "A Visual Culture" curated by Van Der Plas Gallery in New York in 2021_

"13th Effort"

Work inspired by the Egyptian myth of Sokaris and its symbol, the onion.

The onion is the only vegetable capable of living underground, on the ground or in the open air, on a stem: all characteristics that evoked the potentialities of the god Sokar.

"Onion" 

* _This painting is inspired by the ancient Greek philosophical poem 'DeAnima' and specifically to the most symbolic sentence of this ancient Artistotelic assertion, that is related to his early and primordial rational studies on ' Human Soul': "Soul is a Natural Body having Life at Power"._

  

"DeAnima"

Bloom represents the entity that brings the spring season. This natural entity comes with a scepter, inspired by the concept of the Heqa scepter, a symbol of power that was attributed to the Egyptian paraohs, but re-imagined as a power of fertility instead of royalty. 

"Bloom" 

The only real fear that can be objectively recognized as true, is to be scared of being afraid of something.

* _Private collection in Honolulu (Hawaii)_

  

"Fear is Ego"

Sculpture inspired by the ancient Egyptian scribes. The third eye bears a question mark that identifies the abstractive power of these ancient egyptian scribes.

  
* _Hieroglyphic language can therefore be divided into signs to be pronounced and into visual signs which served as a guide while reading; written element are not dissociated from the spoken one._

"The Scribe"

Jinzo is a japanese term meaning 'made by humans'. This work has been created without any external references. Jinzo's headgear represents the protection of the intellect: elements that make up his body are ferrous and electronic scraps taken from my father's workshop who is a craftsman.

"Jinzo"

Nature offers us timeless and necessarily inaccessible sacred geometries.The behavior of water, the wind in the leaves and plants, the burning of fire... all these elements, I can compare them only with that profound impulse that makes me want to paint something new.

  

"Sacred Roots"

Subject represented is the pharaoh Akhenaton, one of the most intriguing figure of the ancient egyptian dinasties. 

The ‘Genius Loci’ identifies a spiritual entity that ancient men attributed to a certain place in order to live accordingly to its spatial and natural rules.
