AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
"Fides" in Latin means faith, but also trust. In oneself, in the ability to rewrite one's destiny and influence that of others. The gesture of the hummingbird is frozen halfway between performing a miraculous act or an epic defeat. We will never know how it will end; what matters is trying.
Palermo, my city, is full of contrasts; grace and wonder coexist with ugliness and decay. This causes me to have a love-hate relationship with this city, but it also nourishes and stimulates my work, which is based precisely on contrasts. The work 'Fides' that I painted for Cartoline da Ballarò is an example. But what this painting conveys is a universal message in which everyone can see themselves.
The artwork is a diptych, with each panel measuring 42x32.5 cm including the frame. The panels can be spaced a few centimeters apart at will.
Andrea Buglisi (Palermo, 1974) is a visual artist and has been a teacher of Painting Disciplines at the Palermo Art High School since 2005.
Graduated in Decoration from the Academy of Fine Arts with a thesis on Graffitism, he has been active since 1996 with works of painting and hybridization between media. His creations have been exhibited in prestigious national and international venues, including the Mart in Trento and Rovereto, Riso in Palermo, Stadtgalerie in Kiel, Museum Kunstpalast in Düsseldorf, and the Venice Biennale.
Since 2018, he has focused on urban regeneration through public art and street art, conveying social messages in at-risk neighborhoods. Among his most notable interventions:
The 'Fides' mural in Palermo appears in a Netflix documentary.
The Gate of the Giants (portraits of Falcone and Borsellino) at the Ucciardone bunker hall, winner of the international award 'Best of May 2021' by Street Art Cities.
The urban diptych 'Controcorrente' in Cefalù was included among the 100 most beautiful murals in the world in 2022.
He participated in international festivals in Belgium and Germany, and since 2023, he has been the artistic director of Bashke Urban Art in Piana degli Albanesi. His work has been reviewed by outlets such as the New York Times, Variety, Corriere della Sera, and published in various art volumes.
