YOUNG RECEP Painting

One of the most famous phrases of Le Petit Prince "All the big ones were children once. But few of them remember it ": really! But what were the "greats" of today when experience, events, culture and life in general had not yet formed them? They played like the others? They were thinking of things other than their friends? What expectations did they have? Did he like to go to school? Or did they prefer to spend their time on the street? And, above all, was there something that could presage what they have become? One thing is certain and that each of us, each of them "is born innocent. Whether it was DNA, destiny, fortune, or predestination to transform what they were in what they are (or they were) we did not know. This is the starting point of my research (or perhaps it would be better to talk about "investigation") of the childhood innocence of some of the characters who have become famous. I randomly chose the subjects represented without any logical relationship between them unless they are related to my "past" or "our" present. Perhaps the selection was dictated only by my curiosity towards certain personalities. To find out if, when they were not yet what they became, they already had some element that could predict what they reserved for the future. A common element ... something (no matter what) they believed, motivated them, the "space" that was activated in their minds to make room for tenacity. One last help to finish this series of works came to me, that's right, from the sky: I needed a few sentences to reinforce the "why" of each portrait (one of my trademarks in the paintings) and I Remembered the answer that a Blessed Juana teenager gave to a person who asked her who was God: "A line that opens," said the future saint. So I used the questions she had been asked by the children when she was on the deathbed. Seventeen questions with only one sentence: "It does not matter ... God smiles!" (...from “The Young Pope” series) Because in the end is this that really unites the childhood of everyone: the smile of innocence. The expression of hope in the future in any language of the world. I want to conclude with a very personal observation: although the young portraits have for me sometimes a positive perception (and those I painted with a mostly smiling expression), sometimes negative (maybe tied to what they then have represented by adults), each of them infused passion into one's life by believing in something and facing a "tomorrow" (rosy or otherwise is just a point of view).
