    Description

    Approaching the Iliad from a fresh angle involves exploring the emotions and internal struggles experienced by Menelaus and Helen. This deepens the storyline, shedding light on the intricate human aspects of their romantic narrative.

    Menelaus, the ruler of Sparta, grapples with conflicting emotions as he endeavors to balance his affection for Helen with his duty to lead the Greek forces against Troy. On one side, he harbors a deep love for Helen and yearns to bring her back, seeking to regain her affection and trust. On the other side, he carries the weight of seeking retribution for the wounded honor and respect of both himself and his brother Agamemnon—a critical obligation in the ancient Greek societal context that cannot be disregarded.

    The intensity of these emotions torment him, prompting profound reflection on the essence of love, self-sacrifice, and retribution. He frequently finds himself in moments of solitude, contemplating the implications of war and how he might rekindle his love without forfeiting his humanity.

    Concept

    I never attended art school, my life has always been marked by the dualism between artistic
    creativity and entrepreneurial skills. I consider myself a self-taught, and as such I have always
    sought autonomy in my way.
    I am a realist artist and as such I paint scenes of everyday life, scenes from my time. In any way, I
    leave a testimony of my passage. The idea is to capture the vital breath of the city through the flow
    of people's life on the streets. So to speak, our paths have crossed and mutually changed their
    course. With my paintings, I tell the beginning of a story, leaving as always to the viewer, the
    freedom to imagine the continuation according to his own experience.
    By doing this I always try to balance the two forces that lead me to paint: the first one marked
    realism the other to a more conceptual simplification of traits.
    My whole paintings completely reflect the dualism between this two forces. The color shades in
    steps as level curves of a map has a precise meaning. Here comes what I call "sampled realism".
    At first view, when you look at my paintings, you can have an almost realistic impact, but at more
    attentively watch you can appreciate all the losses defined by the different colors between the
    curves. It is a bit of a metaphor for the modern digital life. Day by day we lose some pieces that we
    feel worthless, anyway absently we can't perceive this loss. These gaps represent not just the
    shortcomings of our lives, but at the same time give us the opportunity to build a new reality
    reformulated on our knowledge and experience.
