Why do we need art in our lives?
For many years, I grew up with the absurd idea that art was something secondary, just a decoration for the home.
Even while studying art and attending the Academy of Fine Arts, deep down I believed that idea too, shaped by a sterile society that treats aesthetics and art as something marginal.
If art is not important, then neither is the life that created it. And we know that this is deeply wrong.
Every great civilization in the past has produced art and aesthetics, whether consciously or not. The greatest minds on this planet have dedicated themselves to it.
Art is essential in our lives, because it is the closest thing to what it means to be human.
In the video, you can see the paintings I created for the collection Romeo and Juliet: The Metamorphosis.
