About The Artwork

"Nusu ingine" in Kiswahili means "The other half," which is why I chose to portrait only half of a lion's snout. We always see half of what there is to see. When in the savannah you find yourself in front of a real lion, and you can look into his eyes, you realize that you never see half of its life of difficulty and survival. Our superficiality makes us notice only its fascinating majesty and strength, but there are wounds, parasites, and many imperfections too. All of this suffering can ugly it and make it suffer. Too often the world is made up of superficial appearances, and we are not interested in seeing beyond them. I designed this realistic portrait with an acrylic on canvas technique. Each hair wants to show strength and majesty, but pain, suffering, and difficulties too.

The passion for drawing, painting, and to a small extent sculpture, have always been in me. Pencil and colors have always been my favorite games. Fate did not lead me to develop the possibilities that my natural gifts offered me. However, they have remained in me and I believe that I cannot express myself better than with a brush in my hand. I believe that it is not only studies and courses that make an artist, but his intense passion and commitment to create something that comes from within and is realized on a canvas. In the early part of my life, I made paintings in various techniques, mostly pencils, charcoals, and watercolors. The processing of clay and various decorative techniques in the years '90/2000 has given me much satisfaction. Someone says that there is no house in my city that does not have a small work of mine. In the '10s, however, I abandoned my artistic passion for a job that I adore and that fills my life and has become my second great passion, Africa. In fact, at the age of fifty, I moved from Italy to Kenya. The realization of a Lodge took me full of feelings, passion, and time. Now, the sad event of a worldwide pandemic has given me many worries but also a lot of free time. While waiting for the return to a normal and full working life, I rediscovered my first old passion, painting. In contact with amazing nature, with a fascinating and evocative culture, I try to convey Africa that I love the most. I have the presumption of wanting to excite those who look at one of my paintings and I hope to be able to convey something that goes beyond the moment of a glance but transmits a touch in the soul of those who appreciates my work.
