About The Artwork
The Photo will arrive signed and numbered by the artist and accompanied by a certificate of Authenticity. It will arrive unframed. Explanation of the photograph: My intention with this action is to highlight the beauty of culture and how nevertheless the difficulties Armenian culture remained very strong, so what remains of a flag is simply the real essence of culture, the sweetness of it. Flag belongs to politics and the real importance belongs to traditions and culture what people share and not what people struggle or fight for. With this action I wanted to symbolically melt the borders away, leaving only the sweetness and the beauty of humanity, The first "Melting Borders happened in Armenia and by performing it I wanted to highlight the essence and beauty of its culture. The shirt is what remains of the action which I intend to repeat in other countries and it also represents, a new flag, which is "politics-free", the "Sweet Flag". This particular action by the artist was made on the border between North and South Korea, a Demilitarized area. The artist symbolically melts away the two flags with this action. There are only 30 original/signed and numbered photographs available.

He is best known for his multi-talented capacity in different art forms including performance, dance, painting and sculpture. He obtained a degree in Sculpture at the University of Fine Arts in Naples and an MA in Social Sculpture at Oxford Brookes University. Riccardo values the context he works in as the main inspiration for his work, finding a common ground with each culture he connects with. He creates cathartic actions and performances in the fore-front of current political, environmental and spiritual concerns by digging for the essence of humanity beyond race and custom. The artist often collects relics from his performances which later become objects of memory and contemplation.
