DE PROFUNDIS

About ten years ago, or better, I started to be interested in cosmic phenomena, and theoretical physics, regarding the Universe, its evolution, and history (at least from what information I could find on the internet). I was especially fascinated by the idea of a Black Hole – which starting from the theory of relativity – that is created by the explosion of a vast sun, a point with an infinite gravitational force, from which not even light can escape, everything around is absorbed, and because of the infinite gravity TIME CEASES TO EXIST! Which makes physics pass into the metaphysical area! I integrated all these theoretical elements into my art, combining them with elements related to religious, Byzantine art, or graphic symbols with a spiritual charge. The first work with this theme was created in 2013–2014 and is titled LE DEVOREUR. I also held a personal exhibition, which originated from the idea of cosmology, and it evolved to become an integral part of my vision. Finally, I created a theory, according to which the galaxy we are in now, the Milky Way, is a vortex with a huge black hole at its center that absorbs everything. We are falling right now towards this Black Hole! And because of this phenomenon of stopping time, I consider it a form of memory, like a huge recording mechanism – like a disk, or a magnetic tape, but on a cosmic level – that absorbs and retains everything inside, and then time stops. All phenomena, everything that happens in the Milky Way (including here on Earth), is recorded there and, theoretically, can be viewed again if we had a device or mechanism that could reverse this vortex. A very interesting physical phenomenon, which has a kind of metaphysical, or spiritual opening... I had several works influenced by this theory of the vortex, including this latest work, in which an eye that appears in the middle of the vortex as a presence that takes notice of everything!
