Winners or losers?
Who do we want to be?
This work was created in honor of Nuto Revelli and his work that deals with this very subject.
I decided to represent the reality of us human beings. Unfortunately, we all struggle against our dark side, against our temptations, our vices.
We struggle every day, but we will never be able to fight and eliminate this dark and unknown part of us by ourselves.
I represented on a Forex panel 70x100 two entities part of the same being.
I decided to use the spatolato oil technique to give movement and dynamism, to make more of the force exerted by the dark and bluish figure representation of our unconscious and the resistance exerted by the pinker and more colorful figure that represents our visible image to the world.
A continuous struggle that will never end.
But the resistance we must continually have and exercise will allow us not to be completely enveloped by our nemesis.
We must exercise “heroic titanism,” one of the main qualities that Leopardi attributed to the Broom; the courage to fight despite everything, despite the awareness of imminent defeat. Only in this way can we be worthy of being called “humans”
