Metamorphosen Metamorphosen This canvas bears the name of the composition by Richard Strauss. Mantua again is on the background, a mourning cemeterial statue in close up. The texture under the paint layers is sandy, a mourning by facts. Times that won’t come back. Richard Strauss’ masterpiece is the Theme. Lou Reed III All of us have passed through those lonely, rainy nights, when midnight's over, friend and love long gone. Too much smoke, too much booze, maybe more stuff loading us. The City, our own loneliness and transgressions. And a poet, in music, in life. This is why we can't but fall in love with Lou Reed. Mermaid Mermaid In an underwater kingdom, a Princess is graciously seated. Her long, embroidered robe, sparkling with polychrome gems, merges with the surrounding sea. A giant scallop, purple red and gold, is her throne. A magic apparition, a long lasting dream. An enchanting presence. Out there Out there A meditation on the evoking expression, as in a story by Raymond Carver. The building on the left: apartments, people inside. Like accidentally peeking into other people’s lives, as if from a night train passing through. The building on the right: a shop closed down, empty business spaces with their lights off. At the center:... From the sea A night on the Baltic Sea, centuries ago – but tall buildings looming on it may indicate dystopia. In my heart, it is also a mysterical view of Mantua from the lakes that surround the town, in a foggy night. An ancient Capital. A dreamvision. A Myth. A hommage to Anselm Kiefer's works too.

I AM A HYPERBOREAN

ZALMOXIS

I come from long ago, from a time long passed. I come from a faraway land much beloved by Apollo, the great distant God of prophecy and archery, the God of diseases and of cures.

Truth is

who am I?

I WAS TOO MANY TO REMEMBERI DON’T WANT TO BE REMEMBEREDTHIS ONLY MATTERS: MY CHARMS, MY LASTING DAYSI WILL SURVIVEMY LONG GOING EXISTENCE IS NO JOKEI AM A MAGICIAN, A PRIEST FOR APOLLO, A HYPERBOREANI LUST FOR BLOOD, WHICH IS LIFE BY ITSELF

I think strange things which I dare not confess to my own soul

I AM ALL IN A SEA OF WONDERS I DOUBT I FEAR

No se puede propio saber lo que sabe el lobo. El lobo es incognoscible. Preguntar lo que sabe el lobo es como preguntar los arboles. Las piedras. El mundo.

Mit ungläublicher Ehrfurcht Lautschten wir den langsamen Takten des Walzwerks der Front, einer Melodie, die uns in langen jahren Gewohnheit werden sollte.

THE PREMISE IS

To approach Zalmoxis, we start from Apollo. God of Forecasting. God of Diseases, Supreme Healer. Magician Sire of the Underworld, God of the Far Traveling Arrow. He is not Greek, he came from the immense plains in the North-East, from lands where the Sun rises and lasts.
