As specimen who subjected Earth to ourselves, we are getting closer to the point of no return. Are we becoming, in some perverse way, similar to God by sending down the plagues to ourselves? Information about the explosion of death brought by totalitarianism, human-induced cataclysms and epidemics are flooding us through mass media, causes contradistinction good from evil impossible to tell. Or maybe this impossibility is the result of lack of the question about the gist of evil? The vanitas motif in my artwork is to remind about inevitable evanescence and death. Nowadays perception of death became unduly simplified. The omnipresence of intrusive media chasing after bombshell leads us to insensitivity, we are becoming more and more resistant to the view of brutal crimes, bloody deaths and corpses. Simultaneously galloping digitalization, that marshals us using algorithms and blears the boundaries between real and virtual world, is dehumanizing our race. Imperfections following from the fragility of every human being combined with contemporary echoes of the biblical plagues, diseases and mortality will bring doom to humanity.

35 x 35 x 45 cm

i wanted to see a kafkian eternity still life in space how could "breathe" and as a result i absolutelly love my second iron welding sculpture eternity finished 28 December 2018 iron welding metal sculpture aprox 35 x 45 x 35 cm signed december 2018 sculpture is varnished to prezerve all the reflections and metal intervention in time one of the kind piece Kafkian eternity with flowers at 7 pm series : This series of artworks refers to the metaphysical approach to space populated by a pot with flowers, a near seen like a section of a personal temporal eternity, where the vegetative elements are transfigured into the metaphysical, transcendent .Thus, at the limit figuration, the immanents of the light becames oniric reflections and transparents, the flower shape became sphere, within which persist the traces of the pass, of the wear, the cyclicity. The series title, although apparently suggestive, is not refering to the absurdity and anguish prosaic present in Kafka's universe, but rather its starts from the idea of freezing of the personal physical time, by a simple meditative exercise of pure contemplation of the close realities transformed by the passing of time. For me, as an artist, the still life is a perfect excuse to create a vibrant game between the idea of the volatility and the perennial of the world that we perceive around us, and the essence of the human spirit: the conscience. My "flowers" are subtle expressions of a meta-reality, where the viewer is invited to meditation, to exercise his spirit, to discover that energy, that forsure we all have it inside us, that resonates with the silence of the begining of begining.
