PRESS RELEASE
“The poetry of the fishes evolution painted by HITNES in Ostia – Rome (Italy)
This mural changed the daily panorama for hundreds students on the Roman coast
In recent days Hitnes, an internationally renowned Roman artist, has completed the most huge and complex urban artwork ever painted in Ostia, the sea-neighborhood of Rome, Italian Capital city.
The mural at the ITC “Paolo Toscanelli” and high school in via Capo Sperone is curated by Mirko Pierri of the a.DNA project association. It’s the first wall painted by Hitnes in the Ostiense area. The artist has literally transformed the panorama that thousand students see every day from the windows of their classrooms.
Hitnes’ mural tells us a single story that develops on the two walls painted.
The story of evolution told by Hitnes with this peculiarity of the evolutionary game highlights our possibilities of adaptation to the environment in which we live. The narrative of the two walls thus ends in the same sea where it all began.
a.DNA started in 2014 to care and organize around 20 walls signed by foreign and international artists in Ostia Rome’s Municipality, from west to east.”
