About the art
Artist statement
Simply put, gravity is the quantity responsible for defining the weight of a body and is what keeps us together with the planet. But there is a force that balances everything and that does not depend on physical laws. Love is the law of balance that internally guides the evolution of the universe. There is no life without love. At some point we are all touched. It is impossible for a human being to be born and spend a lifetime without feeling this force.
Love arises spontaneously in the soul of whoever perceives something that is good, beautiful or true. Since the beginning of time, the immense power of love – the essence of life force – has been a difficult riddle to decipher. It is not easy to properly use this limitless energy. Humanity has been trying to understand the challenge of love for thousands of years, and it has been an absolutely central theme in major religions and philosophies.
There are countless ways to express affection. We love the people closest to us and humanity as a whole. We love the land, trees and animals. We admire the wind and the sunset. Love can also take the form of a violent romantic infatuation with a person whose beauty seems limitless to us. It can be channeled into dedication to a noble cause, such as a social ideal, and it can show itself through devotion to a noble cause, such as the good of humanity.
It doesn't matter the form, but the energy and how much it moves us.
