About the art
Artist statement
ETIAM MINIMUM INFINITE MAXIMUM
("Even the smallest thing is infinitely big")
Why is my subject a beetle? Several insect species are endangered on Earth. Insects are more vulnerable than other living beings and their lives are highly dependent on specific climatic conditions and habitats.
This is one of my new artworks as part of the Void 2099 project, which is dedicated to archiving the insect species. This painting was presented in 2024 at the exhibition ‘Memories of the Future’ in the centre of Rome and at the exhibition ‘Unpredictable’ by Paratissima Art Gallary in Turin.
This painting is done in mixed media, the main object of the painting is a beetle, painted in oil, the background has a relief structure, made of ecological materials and covered in black pigment, and depicted embedded in 'now-cooled lava rocks'. The phrase is written in Latin, inspired by the history of the Roman Empire. The painting was made and is located in Rome.
