An iconic work is struck by an egg, but it's not an act of blind destruction. The color that explodes on the canvas isn't chosen at random: it's the same color as the inside of the egg, as if the essence of the gesture were transformed into paint.
In Desecrated, the artist carries out a visceral yet lucid intervention, where apparent vandalism becomes a new language. It is a challenge to passive respect for the "untouchable" image, but also a generative gesture: from the blow a new equilibrium is born, a new tension between past and present.
It is a desecration, yes, but sacred in its own way — because it transforms a primitive gesture into an aesthetic statement.

"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."
