Sonny Insinna - Bolle di sapone #2#

This series of works stems from a reflection on the fragility of existence, inspired by the thoughts of Arthur Schopenhauer: 'Life is like a soap bubble, which we blow and try to maintain for as long as possible, but with the firm certainty that it will burst.'

Partial figures, suspended in space, converse with evanescent soap bubbles, symbols of a fragile balance between desire, waiting, and dissolution. The hands, silent protagonists of the composition, perform delicate and measured gestures, as if trying to hold back the moment before loss.

The technique, based on light glazes, transparencies, and drips, amplifies the sensation of impermanence: the color not only constructs the form but becomes atmosphere, flowing time, a memory that surfaces and dissolves. Bubbles reflect light and color, embodying the illusion of duration and the beauty of the moment.

The series invites the viewer to an intimate and meditative contemplation, where awareness of the end does not negate life but enhances its preciousness, transforming fragility into visual poetry.
