Artworks by Gio Schiano

As stated by the German poet F. Schiller: “Man is fully a human being only when he plays,” in fact we constantly recognize ourselves in objective figures, from which it can evidently transpire: pain, happiness, melancholy and rarely in some abstract shapes, playful.  Yes, because the abstract shape is uncertainty, fear, destabilizes, it distorts reality, provokes the unbearable imagination, “unbearable” because while it opens up new horizons, it pushes us beyond reality, it frees us but at the same time forces us to enter into it with all of ourselves.
