In the shadow of Troy’s towering walls, the priest Laocoön, devoted to Apollo, dared to lift his voice against the cunning of the Greeks. He warned his people with words that would echo through the ages: “Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.” Athena, fierce patroness of the Greeks, summoned from the depths two monstrous sea serpents, their coils glistening like darkened bronze beneath the sun. They surged upon the shore, wrapping Laocoön and his two sons in an inescapable embrace, their cries swallowed by the roar of the sea. Thus, the truth was silenced, and Troy’s fate sealed.
The artwork’s Turkish tiles evoke the ancient city’s enduring ties, for Troy’s soil has long been touched by the East. Behind them, the maiolica’s intricate patterns whisper of Mediterranean waters—where cultures met, traded, and clashed in a dance as old as the tides. Together, these elements weave a visual elegy: a reminder of the peril in ignoring truth, and the beauty that still blooms from the ruins of history.

Atlas, once a titan of strength, now crumbles into stillness. Turned to stone by the gaze of Medusa, his face bears dual truths: on the left, fury—frozen mid-roar, defiant to fate; on the right, quiet disbelief, surrendering to his final metamorphosis into mountain. He bears the celestial sphere, etched with the zodiac—his eternal burden—now inert. Behind him, a baroque tapestry of Sicilian-inspired tiles blooms in plaster and gold leaf, a relic of earth’s ornate memory. Blue floods the background, uniting sea and sky—the realms he once bridged. A vertical line of LED light slices the divine from the earthly, past from present, breath from stone.

A vertical pink neon slices the composition, a radiant boundary between destroyer and destroyed, between myth and memory. This luminous divide hums with tension, casting the scene in sacred contrast. Beauty, terror, and glory collapse into silence—an eternal, petrified breath.

Baroque floral motifs and gold latticework echo Sicilian ceramic traditions, while the gilded void behind them fractures time: spring and winter, earth and underworld.

Sorgente” — the source — evokes the origin of creation, where form and memory flow together like light emerging from shadow.

The Divine Resonance captures the divine fracture—the moment when truth pierces eternity. Within this quartet, Hephaestus, Zeus, Hades, and Persephone are bound not by worship, but by betrayal. Their sculptural forms, rendered in tones of marble and ash, rise against embossed backgrounds of celestial ornament, where gold halos no longer signify sanctity but exposure. Light turns merciless, unveiling what was hidden: the forbidden union of Zeus and Persephone, the silent witness of gods. The cool geometry of the relief contrasts with the storm of emotion within their gazes—wrath, sorrow, disbelief, and quiet defiance. Gold leaf glows like divine fire, both illuminating and condemning. In The Divine Resonance, myth becomes mirror; the eternal gods are rendered fragile, their grandeur tempered by the ache of truth. This series contemplates not divinity’s perfection, but its flaw, the beautiful, tragic pulse of betrayal among the immortal.

Two reflections of the same soul — one illuminated, one in shadow. Luna Piena and Luna Vacanti embody the eternal rhythm of presence and absence, light and silence. The plaster tiles reinterpret Sicilian tradition, half bathed in moonlight white, half in radiant gold or deep black. Real butterflies drift across their surface like fleeting thoughts suspended between night and dawn. In the gold, the warmth of the Sicilian coast; in the black, the mystery of a sky without reflection. Together they speak of cycles and contrasts — fullness and emptiness, abundance and loss — where beauty endures in both illumination and obscurity. These twin works are an ode to transformation, a delicate reminder that even in darkness, the moon still exists, only hidden from view.

Conquer the Fear

Charcoal, oil paint, polymer clay and gold on wooden canvas
Conquer the Fear portrays Zeus not as a distant god but as the reflection of human courage — the divine spirit awakening within vulnerability. Charcoal, oil, and gold intertwine with clay ornaments and traces of ancient frescoes, creating a dialogue between power and fragility. The textures rise and fall like a breath, echoing the moment when strength is no longer about force, but about awareness.
The composition captures that sacred instant before transcendence — when fear, instead of paralysing, transforms into motion. Gold becomes the light of revelation, while the dark tones recall the weight of doubt and the intimacy of silence. Every detail speaks of the battle within, where gods and humans share the same tremor.
Conquer the Fear stands as a modern myth — a meditation on resilience, inner strength, and the quiet, luminous victory that begins the moment one dares to face themselves.
Perfect Injustice

Charcoal, oil paint, spray paint, polymer clay and gold leaf on canvas
Perfect Injustice reimagines the myth of Perseus and Medusa beyond the triumph carved in marble. It captures the moment after the victory — when silence replaces glory, and the hero confronts the weight of his act. Perseus stands exalted, yet the true power lies in the fallen figure of Medusa, cursed for her beauty and condemned for what was never her fault. Charcoal, oil, clay, gold leaf, and fresco merge into a single breath of matter and emotion, where ornament softens brutality and beauty redeems tragedy.
Each stroke becomes a reflection on morality, on the fragile border between justice and cruelty. Gold, once a symbol of power, here becomes a veil of compassion — the light that restores dignity to what the world condemned. In Perfect Injustice, the myth dissolves into a mirror: it is not the monster who terrifies us, but the indifference of those who judge without understanding.

No Victory Without Confidence portrays Giulio Cesare not merely as a conqueror, but as a man guided by inner certainty — the quiet power that precedes every triumph. Emerging from a dark, ornate background reminiscent of Sicilian ceramic motifs, his figure embodies discipline and destiny. The gold fracture that cuts through the surface glows with the light of history, inscribed with Egyptian hieroglyphs that allude to Cleopatra and the delicate balance between reason and desire.
Charcoal, oil, and gold leaf intertwine to narrate not the glory of conquest, but the strength of conviction. It is a meditation on the invisible armor of self-belief, the luminous crack through which greatness breathes. The darkness around him is not absence, but preparation — the moment before the dawn of action. No Victory Without Confidence reminds us that courage begins in the mind, and victory is first conquered within.
