The story of Pandora's Box is a myth from ancient Greek mythology found in the works of Hesiod and Homer. According to the myth, Pandora was created by the Olympian gods as a punishment for humanity. Prometheus, the Titan who had stolen fire from the gods to give to humans, had incurred the wrath of Zeus. As revenge, Zeus ordered Hephaestus, the god of craftsmanship, to create an irresistible and cunning woman, Pandora. Each god bestowed upon Pandora a gift, including beauty, persuasion, and cunning. Pandora was then sent to Earth, accompanied by a jar given to her by Zeus. Despite the warning not to open it, her curiosity got the better of her. Unable to resist temptation, Pandora opened the jar, releasing a host of evils and disasters that spilled into the world. Diseases, pain, hatred, envy, and all other miseries were set free, leaving only hope trapped inside the jar. In this painting, I aimed to revisit the myth with a touch of modernity. At the heart of the canvas, an abstract vessel takes center stage. From this vessel, the woes of humanity unfold if the container is opened, yet hope remains vividly alive, encapsulated within its confines. The abstract representation of the jar serves as a symbolic nexus, echoing the classical Pandora's Box yet infused with contemporary nuances. The vibrant strokes and dynamic forms surrounding the vessel convey the complexities of human experience, hinting at the diverse array of challenges and adversities that can be unleashed upon the world.

In the bustling heart of New York City, I find solace in the tactile world of abstraction, where emotion and space intertwine through a dance of texture, plaster, clay, and mixed media. My artistic journey is an exploration of the unspoken, a visual narrative that emerges from continuous experimentation and a deep connection to my Italian heritage. Rooted in the rich tradition of Italian pottery and maiolica from the 15th century, my work pays homage to the craftsmanship of yesteryears while pushing the boundaries of contemporary expression. I draw inspiration from the intricate details and vibrant colors of maiolica, infusing my creations with a sense of history that resonates in the present. Each piece is a symphony of textures, a testament to the physicality of my process. The interplay of plaster and clay, coupled with the dynamic energy of mixed media, creates a sensory experience that invites viewers to immerse themselves in the layers of my artistic journey. The canvas becomes a playground where emotions materialize in sculptural forms, leaving room for interpretation and personal connection. My artistic philosophy is one of constant exploration, a commitment to pushing the limits of traditional mediums. The city that never sleeps serves as both muse and backdrop, infusing my work with the rhythm and energy of urban life. New York City becomes a canvas, a dynamic space where emotions are amplified and reflected in the ever-evolving tapestry of textures and colors. Through my abstract expressions, I invite the audience to embark on a visual and emotional odyssey, transcending the confines of the canvas. In each stroke and sculpted form, I seek to capture the essence of human experience, transforming raw materials into a language that speaks directly to the soul.
