The "Witnesses" invite you to a timeless travel, with a touch of plurality and tolerance.
Between imagination and reality, they offer a wisdom and peace message.
The totem look reflects the desire of elevation and spirituality of a collective identity seeking for right to difference.
Mixed cultures, races, eras give mixed materials : bronze or ceramic for tradition and resine for modernity. A witness of a peculiar perception of world
I was born a beautiful day of september 1958, from a Calabrese father and an Armenian mother.
Sun of Mediterranean sea and Oriental charm both bended on my cradle, filled my childhood with Italian songs and "One thousand and a night"tales.
I have always been proud of this plurality, rich of colours and feelings. Very young, I was told to be peculiar, non agreeable.Always seeking for myself, I spent everyday of these last fifteen years to the learning of this "job" in which love and work must be leaders. I made paintings, drawings, sculptures, mosaics, nude from life, stamps, poteries... I learned from each of these works, grew richer and adorned my emotions. Step by step, I unrolled the leading thread of what I wanted to say, the message I had to offer was clarified until this year of 1977 when the "Témoins" (Witnesses) sprang out of the chest in which everything was heaped and intermingled.
I, in fact, think we offer what we are.
I am mixed and it's that I want to speak about, about difference, tolerance, self and others agreement... Love.
A bit like in my grandfather's Oriental tales.
Thanks to my parents for these presents.
