PEACE, NOT ONLY FOR DOVES!

Painting for Martine is less a way of recording things than of expressing her philosophy of life. Whether a Moon is portrayed in the background, or rather a Sun, is inconsequential: the divine radiance of the Cosmos dominates this rendering of a graceful seagull rejoicing in its freedom, expressed by means of its flight into the clear blue sky.

L’UOMO.

Questa centralità è data dall’essere custode-depositario di una parte infinitesimale della “Scintilla Divina”.
Orlando Serpietri.
