“I was invited by the associazione DaSud to make an intervention in their headquarters and home of the project ‘AP-Popular
Academy of anti-mafia and rights’. The mural aspires to reflect the complexity and depth of the objectives of both the school and daSud, association known for its commitment to the socio-cultural contrast of mafias and the promotion of civil rights. I hope this painting will leave an impression that will inspire all the people who cross the threshold of the building: not only on the physical wall but also in the minds and hearts of all those who will be part of it.
SOPHIA: The Artwork
The work is a synergistic fusion of visual and textual elements. Sophia, depicted and represented as a goddess, appears veiled and with a book in her hand.
His face, austere but sweet, is turned towards the book as if immersed in a deep reflection or a dream. An orange spiral unfolds from the book and is in perfect harmony with the mission of the school and the association wants to symbolize development, dynamism, cyclical continuity, energy expansion, and the infinite movement of life.
The work is also a tribute to the city of Rome, a metropolis rich in symbolism and history, which like the spiral, is in continuous expansion and transformation.
Between the spiral and the book, a perfect sphere emerges as a catalyst element that unifies and enhances the various symbols and themes present in the work. This perfect geometric shape alludes to harmony and balance, acting as a bridge between the infinite wisdom of Sophia and the dynamic spiral of growth. In this way, the sphere not only justifies the formal and competitive weight but represents the Platonic ideal of perfection and universality, emphasizing the interconnectedness between knowledge, growth, and unity Ipncorporated in the work is the quote “Everyone grows only if dreamed” by Danilo Dolci, which serves as an additional defining parameter, emphasizing the essence and the activities of both the Association daSud and IIS Enzo Ferrari.
Tnx to everyone who made this fantastic experience possible!”
