mixed technique (digital print on goldleafcovered board), 50 x 50 cm, signed on the back : Marco Veronese

Marco Veronese, a contemporary digital artist of Italian descent, experiments and creates in many fields: photography, painting, sculpture and writing, and even writing poems. One of the defining memories of his childhood was the book From Renaissance to Mannerism. He discovered the beauty and depth of art through his favorite reading. Veronese sees the need for a new Renaissance era, the coming of a more spiritual being, for the man of today. “Researching a new, deep spirituality is the foundation for the change that man needs today. It is not just a new, artistic renaissance, but at the same time economic, social, and individual. The symbols symbolize this message, "he admits.

Marco Veronese's unique work on a blackboard coated with special techniques also hides a deeper spiritual content. At the heart of the composition is the planet Earth, strangled by a golden chain. We need more and more personal awareness to reverse this tide, and then the flutter of a butterfly's wing — as we see it in front of a blood-red, throbbing heart — can break these chains, which are made of gold but are still chains.
According to Marco Veronese's reading, "The stregth of awareness," is thus a symbolic work with a special meaning that can best be interpreted as described above.
