The most significant and, equally, difficult thing in life is the establishment of the relationship between two people of any kind.
This kind of spiritual connection can be called "silence," because silence is communication without words.
In the paintings instead of words, hands are used, which, gesturing, communicate and create an intimate contact with faces.
This releases a deep, inner energy that unleashes a silent communication capable of surpassing all forms of spoken words.
The mixture of gestures and faces is accentuated by the intensity and strength of the colors that produce in unison a spiritual communication.
The faces in dialogue and the speaking mouths describe the dynamism of communication while not using words.
The juxtaposition between the movement of faces and hands restores an experience of dialogue that stops in time and endures throughout life.
Here and now, but also tomorrow and forever, the faces and the silence of their words will remain in eternal dialogue between the figures in the paintings.

Human passions universally affect the individual at every phase of one’s life, but they are only understandable when experienced.
Passions cannot be explained, they cannot be resolved, but we can only move on by going through them, as an introspective path or wandering in the world.
Passion can become a lifetime goal or the obsession of an instant, and so, each of us pursues individual chimeras within ourselves.
Impossible loves, unscalable heights, illusive happiness, dominating powers and irrepressible instincts, whether they are realizable or unrealizable passions, represent the great mystery of humanity.
The Siren and its song is a metaphor for desire, anthropomorphic creatures that speak to each human being in a different way, discovering the strongest and innermost passions in order to transform into them.
It is not in temptation but in the metamorphosis of passion that motivates the human to investigate himself, generating doubts about his own nature. The passion makes him face a choice: resisting it or giving into it and allowing oneself to be dominated by it.
