#SOLSTIZIOINVERNO 2020 (#WINTERSOLSTICE)
#SOLSTIZIOINVERNO 2020 is a symbol of justice, of a harvest nourished with integrity, hospitality and respect. Seemingly static, emerging beyond time to regenerate in eternity and become spark again. Any superfluous belief vanishes into the night, now illuminated by the luminous swarm of new consciousness and knowledge: fields full of incipient dawns.
#SOLSTIZIOINVERNO 2020 project: on 21st December 2020, the winter solstice coincided with the great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. This event had not taken place for over 800 years. To mark the occasion, I launched an appeal welcoming anyone who wished to send a voice message telling me about their day. I received 45 testimonials. I listened to the voices to create the #SOLSTIZIOINVERNO 2020 artwork. Acrylic on canvas, measuring 230xh cm.150.
The painting belongs to the series dedicated to #quotidianità (everyday life), and is the first to focus on the #rivoluzioneterrestre (terrestrialrevolution). During 2021, there will be further call-outs to also coincide with the two equinoxes and summer solstice.
#quotidianità everyday life concept: Everyday life concept: everyday life, the daily lived is the place where one resides, where the uniqueness of each individual can be made manifest and built across encounters and relationships. Both with oneself, with others and the world, all immersed in the density of time seemingly immobile in its continuous changing. By asking people to tell me about their day, I try to imprint this common ritual on canvas: a collective everyday life in which it is possible to glimpse the face of humanity's biography.
#rivoluzioneterrestre (terrestrialrevolution) concept: the earth´s revolution represents our planet’s motion around the sun. Yet, a revolution is also a radical movement potentially able to lead the development of events towards a better future. In a society steeped in performances and displays that seek constant attention, I believe a return to authentic biographical stories can represent a new #rivoluzioneterrestre. Being present in yourself enables being present in any relationship, including the one with your own conscience; the inner sun around which we gravitate every day, in order to make responsible, thoughtful and willing choices. In practice, we are the #rivoluzioneterrestre across time, and our shared and intertwined biographical accounts a powerful reflection of such.
