Long Live Life! 08 - Stefano di Loreto

The artist composes a hymn to life. On the white canvas, a symbol of innocence, a black clock is dismantled into its gears. \n \nA few golden "lashes" strike and break the clock, a symbol of mechanical time and its frenzy, to reclaim a natural time, the rhythm of life. \n \nFrom the deconstructed gears, vibrant colors are released and intermingled: purple and yellow express the explosive energy, power, and allure of life. Even in the darkest times, in the time of Covid, wars, dictatorships, the most brutal acts of violence, the instinct for life screams from the heart, roars, protests; life rebels against death, it is the joy that sings where silence is imposed, it is the hope that does not die under the rubble of destruction; life dresses itself in joy and illuminates the darkest nights, brings carnival to the coldest winters, lights up the emptiest squares with dance. \n \nI celebrate life with a colorful hymn that joyfully shouts “ Viva la Vida! ”
