Servae. Icone Liquide

The genesis of this work has been quite uncommon, a true mystical experience. a sort of “channelling”, I would describe it. At the Castle of Santa Severa, overlooking the Tyrrhenian sea, my works have appeared (in the true meaning of the word) in one single day, emerging on long stele of rice paper – a fragile, yet robust foundation. As if they where araising from the soil, awakening from those dungeons, waiting to be seen. A pantheon of female divinities – a sisterhood, quoting Maria Zambrano – came to light.
