"Creation from Chaos" is a work that grabs attention for its bold exploration of the duality between fragility and creative strength, but also for its innovative choice of materials. The use of gold-gilded chicken eggs as containers of color represents a genuine innovation in the contemporary artistic landscape. These shells, a symbol of life and original delicacy, are transformed into vehicles of energy and creativity, revealing a potential for metamorphosis that emerges from their very destruction. Instead of being mere supports, the eggs become leading actors in a process of creation, underscoring how even the most fragile objects can be transformed into powerful tools of artistic expression.

The shattered shells, laid out on the canvas, suggest a creative explosion, a birth from chaos that seems to break the traditional boundaries of painting. The explosion of color, liberated from the breaking of the shells, symbolises an uncontrollable energy that spreads across the surface, making tangible the tension between order and disorder. The meeting of the golden gleam of gold and the raw matter of the destroyed shells creates a visual tension that challenges perception and invites the viewer to reflect on the creative act, on its origin, and on the inevitable transformation that leads to the renewal of forms. In this way, the artist not only explores a deep concept of life and chaos, but also proposes a new modality of using eggs as a medium of artistic expression, challenging traditional conventions and bringing fresh innovation to the art world.

"It's never easy to classify one's art. I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of seeing what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that fits well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
