The sculpture entitled “The boxers” is the artist’s expression of man’s eternal conflict. The boxers are captured, however, in a moment of mutual assistance with each helping to support the other. This pose expresses the true depth of man’s humanity, a humanity which emerges during even the most difficult and violent moments. The powerful statement offered by this sculpture is enhanced by an elegant figurative style.

La vela

This work is again an abstract detail from another sculpture. This sculpture from which this detail whas derived has as theme a black slave slave that sinks along with his small boat during an attempt to escape to freedom. This escape to freedom, but also towards death, is characterised by the flowing lines which bend upwards the heavens. Man and sail merge into a single expression, a single message.

Gli amanti

This sculpture entitled “The lovers” is one of a series of works dedicated to the nature of man. It expresses a message of optimism since the capacity to love is the best thing about man. The continuous oval form allude to the concept of the egg, egg as a defence from that which comes from outside, but also from that which is within man himself.

L'involuzione

With this sculpture entitled “The involution” the artist addresses one of the most painful and emotional situations that can be faced in life, a separation. While the two figures leave each other like the splitting halves of a great tree, their hands reach backwards towards each other through their memories, and their faces transmit the desire to reunite. Through this work the artist demonstrates how thought creates form.
