“A 5-meter, handmade piece.
There’s a good interview with BR1 on ekosystem, which explains why an Italian artist is so fascinated by Muslim women.
As a lot of artists, I started my career interpreting typical subject of our world: USA power, corporation as mcDonalds, the clash with eastern world, pollution. I was looking for images on magazines to take inspiration or making some collages, and my attention fell always on images with a woman wearing the veil. For me it is charm. A woman wearing it has another allure or behaviour. And you know, for many people the veil is a sort of taboo or a cryptic theme, but it captured my attention, because I am a curious person.”
