“E Vulcano Natus”

"The artwork is a tribute to the ancestral memory of the life that arises from the depths of the Earth following the paths of magma. An extreme nature that takes the forms of the marvelous: a real giant that assumes the traits of myth when expressed through the semantics of fire and underground power, to become a poetic metaphor when it invades the anthropological question of the anthropization of surface lands. The children of the volcano, the inhabitants of the present and the past, from the dawn of time witnesses of its generating and destructive force, have learned to love the philosophical and existential baseload, which involves living in contact with Vesuvius. The impermanence of things is the leitmotif of this ancient tale that is handed down in narratives, anecdotes, and fairy tales. Never as here, existence overflows the essence. Everything is transitory, everything changes, nothing is eternal but the acceptance of this truth, or rather, its concrete and constant perception, allows those who live in the womb of Vesuvius to be part of a dangerous gaze to be in the full sense of life.
