  • The Butterfly Man

    On the beach, amid the sound of the sea and the lightness of summer, a man moves forward, almost disappearing behind an explosion of shapes and colours. He is a street vendor, yet he resembles a fantastic creature: a butterfly born from ingenuity and necessity.

    To earn a living, he turns his own body into a travelling display, reinventing his trade each day and carrying with him the small desires of holidaymakers. The inflatables become wings, and the weight of hard work is transformed into colour.

    “The Butterfly Man” thus tells the quiet poetry of someone who, faced with need, does not give up his dignity, but finds in creativity a new way to keep flying.

  • The beach bores me

    The beach bores me. When I’m there, I feel bored.

    If it weren’t for Enzo, who allowed me to set up my easel and paint, I would have no choice but to sleep on the deck chair. The Apuan Alps watch over me from above, while in front of me, the beach stretches out before a shimmering sea that fades into the horizon.

    My daughter-in-law posed as a model, and my son, as a photographer, captured this scene, which I then transferred onto the canvas.

  • Every woman is a gift to humanity

    The birth of a baby girl is a reward that the Good Lord gives to humanity. It is life that prescribes its future. In the past, newlyweds were told “Best wishes and male children”. Today, I cannot say whether this wish is still appropriate!

    Our generation has finally equalized the two sexes and, at least in the Western world, inclusiveness is at least a sought-after value.

    Often, women have extrasensory abilities and a determination that surpasses the faculties of men. However, they are more fragile beings, requiring attention and a lot of love.

    An advanced civilization respects these differences and does not pretend to homologate the two genders. Because men and women are similar but different. Pretending that they are “equal” is a forcing that in any case nature will recompose in its initial form over time, no matter how many pretexts are sought to make it appear different.

    I made this painting (the 15th) for a friend of mine, one of the most well-known and expert Senologists in Milan, Dr. Giuliano Lucani.
