I like the idea of having an impact on people and society, but without having an impact on nature. This is why I invented a biodegradable process for painting on grass, a technique that allows me to paint enormous, environmentally sustainable frescoes directly on the ground. I am deeply convinced that art can be put at the service of the world and society.
In 2019, I launched Beyond Walls, a project depicting interlocked hands joined in a common effort to reach beyond the walls that separate human beings, enclosing them within mental or geographical compartments.
In this work, the symbolic crossing of walls does not erase the individual nature of each of these hands: they all bear the subtle signs of belonging to multiple social, geographical or ethnic groups.
Today, the universality that is unleashed from ‘Beyond the Walls’ is that of a humanity in pursuit of plurality: this project will cross borders to breathe life into a lateral universality that will flow from city to city through this massive human chain, because “it is only together that humankind will be able to meet the different challenges that it will have to face.”
