These works come from some thoughts about classical sculpture. We know that the sculptures were
originally colorful, and that the Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures, but also the pre-Columbian
cultures, favored, to decorate them, very bright colors. But the passage of time has given us these
sculptures predominantly white, so, from the Renaissance until today, the sculptural representation
of man is almost always monochrome. And it is interesting to think that if by some historical
accident, the same thing had happened with painting, today we would paint with one color, and we
would find it quite natural, just as the monochrome sculptures seem entirely correct. Obviously this
reasoning should be much more complex, but for me it was only the starting point for a reflection on
the way we perceive reality, and what is that influences it. Looking for an expedient that makes it
look colorful something that is not.
