In Revelation from Chaos, Santicri advances the generative tension that animated Creation from Chaos, but pushes it beyond gesture and matter, toward the revelation of the image.

The initial action—the golden eggs thrown onto the canvas—remains the founding symbol: an impulsive, unpredictable, vital act. But here, from the explosion of chaos, not only the abstract form of color arises; the memory of art itself emerges. From the fragments, between the cracks of paint and gold flakes, the face of an icon of art history appears—as if the past were invoked by its collision with the present.

The work thus becomes a metaphor for contemporary creation: painting not as construction, but as unveiling. From disorder emerges what already existed in potential—the archetypal image, the cultural reference, the collective unconscious of beauty.

The gold fragments acquire a dual value: residue of the original matter (the shell), but also a symbol of the sacred, the light that passes through the disaster of form. It is as if Santicri is saying that art today can only be born by breaking itself, revealing itself through fracture.

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