Malmediterraneo -
From the volcanic island of Pantelleria, a project that links art, nature and life through ecology.
The boats of migrants who break on the rocks, waste, plastic.
That "Mar" that turns into "Mal" like a disease, a melancholy.
A sea that with its waves carries desires and dreams that are destroyed on the rocks.
The volcanic island of Pantelleria gives birth to a new life.
The works, made with wood collected from migrants' boats, return to populate an imaginary sea, giving breath to a fantastic world in an explosion of colors.
20% of the proceeds are always donated to charity.
Art is interpreted in its deepest sense, a project that is intertwined with life by uniting nature with man again for a perfect circle.
