<< Human beings are losing what's most precious about them — the very thing that sets us apart as the only species capable of stepping outside the food chain. We're losing our humanity, our very selves. It's as if we're being emptied of what shapes and forms us as living beings. Without it, we would be nothing. >>
We're turning into shadows at the mercy of the winds of violence. We see our fellow humans as enemies, as nobodies to be avoided. We bring terror, death, war, violence, pain, and suffering into the world — all while surrounded by the beauty of our own home. It's as if we move through life believing ourselves invisible to reality, acting only to satisfy a personal appetite for excess and power that, if such a thing existed, we'd never have deserved more than we do now.
We think we're gods, creating slaves — yet we are nothing. Nothing eternal, nothing immortal. We're part of the universe, like grains of sand in a desert. We believe ourselves mountains, but we're only stones.
By accepting our role and our scale with humility, our vision would sharpen and grow wiser. Our soul would fill with awareness. Parabellum prepares us for war — the war fought inside our own homes. The same war our brothers and sisters fight with bombs. The same war we wage, armed with ignorance, envy, and greed.
Our enemy is ourselves. Our ego is the hand ready to launch the missile. Our soul is the light that lights up the darkness. All we need is to be ready to look inside ourselves and ask what we truly want.
Parabellum: ready for war with ourselves, to save others. To save us all.
ARTISTIC EXPERIENCES
SOLO EXPERIENCES March 2023 "I held my first solo exhibition at the Centro Carrobiolo in Monza. The show got great feedback on my work, and several pieces even sold. The exhibition was structured to show my journey and the evolution of my painting style."
GROUP EXPERIENCES December 2023 "I passed the selection process to take part in a group exhibition curated by Chiara Croci at Medinartgallery in Roma. The exhibition included commentary and critique from Benito Corradini of the Accademia Romana La Sponda. At this show, I successfully sold every piece I exhibited." February 2024 "I was selected to exhibit in a group show organized by GM Mostre in Napoli, at Spazio57. There, my piece 'Uomo Moderno' placed third out of 30 works on display, recognized as the best painting for technique, meaning, and visual impact." February 2025 "I took part in the national modern and contemporary art fair in Genova, organized by NordEst Fair (NEF), as an independent artist. It gave me the chance to connect with industry experts and pick up insights and advice that have sharpened my vision and approach to making art."
