“I painted this mural last week in Montalbano Jonico, a beautiful old town in the Basilicata region of Italy overlooking the Ionian Sea and surrounded by this particular rock formations called ‘Calanchi’ which evoke suggestive lunar landscapes. I’m very happy with the outcome and the process of executing this wall!
This piece is an homage to the peasant culture of those areas and a celebration of a simple lifestyle which characterise all the small rural cities. Those splendid places inhabited without interruption for hundreds of years are now threatened with extinction, due to the massive emigration that took place in recent years and is currently underway.
Are we ready to start a turnaround and return to re-inhabit these magnificent towns?”
