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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The ornamental surface recalls ancient craftsmanship, where devotion and myth coexisted in every curve. Here, the moon is both symbol and witness: a mirror of the soul’s renewal, a silent guide through the hidden chambers of the night. The gold, soft yet eternal, speaks of transcendence, of finding strength not in perfection, but in the gentle acceptance of impermanence.
Moonrise is an ode to the divine within the human spirit, where even the gods must rediscover their light after losing themselves in shadow.

What If God Doesn’t Know is both question and confession — a meditation on divinity, doubt, and the fragile perfection of creation. Zeus stands at the threshold of awareness, surrounded by echoes of the frescoes from Palazzo Biscari in Catania. Charcoal, oil, clay, plaster, and gold unite to form a sacred architecture of introspection. The divine figure, no longer omniscient, is caught in a moment of uncertainty — as if realizing that even gods can lose themselves within their own creations.
The work trembles between faith and vulnerability, where gold no longer signifies power but understanding. The surface breathes like an ancient wall rediscovered, carrying the weight of centuries and questions that never fade. What If God Doesn’t Know does not seek answers; it invites silence — the kind that humbles, that reveals truth within unknowing. Here, the divine becomes human, and in that humility, finds grace.

The gold does not conceal the cracks; it glorifies them, revealing that life’s brokenness is integral to its wholeness.

The gold, fluid and luminous, traces the edge of a shoreline, shimmering like sunlight over calm waters. Through the transparency of resin, the sea becomes tangible, almost breathing within the artwork. It is the rhythm of the island itself — the meeting of strength and grace, of ancient tradition and eternal renewal. In this dialogue between blue and gold, the soul of Sicily emerges: proud, delicate, and endlessly alive. Every reflection seems to whisper of origins, of departures, of all that remains. It is a tribute to the island’s spirit — a place where contrasts do not collide but dance, where beauty is not shown, but revealed slowly, like the tide reclaiming the shore.

Vibrant and resolute, Piastrelle Rosse pulses with the fiery heart of Sicily. Reimagining traditional tile motifs, the artist infuses the pattern with emotional heat and chromatic intensity. The dominant reds recall volcanic earth, passion, and ritual — the essence of a land forever alive beneath its surface. Through precise geometry and layered texture, tradition becomes movement, history becomes heartbeat. The interplay between red and gold suggests both the sacred and the sensual: the warmth of the sun, the glow of devotion, the persistence of art through centuries. Beneath its ornamental beauty lies a meditation on identity — how culture burns brightly through repetition, inheritance, and renewal. Piastrelle Rosse is not a mere homage but a declaration: a celebration of Sicily’s spirit, both fragile and unyielding, forever gilded by its own flame.

Beneath the surface of darkness, a fracture glows — a wound gilded with remembrance. The Value of Memories speaks of what endures beneath the layers we build to conceal time’s quiet erosion. The black plaster, ornate and solemn, holds within it a hidden radiance, revealed only through the act of breaking. The golden core emerges like a forgotten truth rediscovered, shimmering with warmth and history, refusing to be silenced by the matte stillness surrounding it. Light seeps gently from the crevice, illuminating the tension between loss and preservation, decay and renewal. The dual levels — the dark exterior and the luminous heart — evoke the architecture of memory itself: the surface of what is known, and the deeper brilliance of what is felt. Through its delicate rupture, the piece becomes a metaphor for human resilience — how even in the fractures of our past, beauty finds a way to gleam, whispering that remembrance, though fragile, is the most precious form of gold.

Game Changer transforms a universal symbol of movement and competition into an object of stillness and reflection. What was once meant to bounce and clash now stands poised — delicate, ornamental, eternal. The basketball, adorned with intricate blue floral motifs reminiscent of fine porcelain, speaks of fragility and grace, merging the language of sport with that of art and heritage. The golden seams shimmer like veins of possibility, reimagining boundaries not as divisions but as threads of connection. It is both playful and profound — a paradox of strength and vulnerability, tradition and innovation. Through its transformation, the piece questions what defines value and beauty: is it in the game itself, or in the artistry of evolution? Game Changer becomes a quiet revolution — a reminder that progress often lies not in force or speed, but in the courage to redefine what something can be.
