Title: Mariposa AngelSalta
Artist: Daniele Basso
Year: 2013
Technique: Mirror stainless steel and Acrylic on Wood (25x25 cm).
"The stylized angel who "jumps" is the Archangel Gabriel, in the decisive moment of the choice, before the fall into hell. All of us daily choose between good and evil. Doubled, as in the mirror, the opposites complete us ... The balance is restored, and from the angel's failed fall blocked by his own reflected image, the natural outline of a butterfly is born, a symbol of metamorphosis, which celebrates the life, the colors, the smile and the enthusiasm of art, of faith and of man".
(Daniele Basso - Biella, May 2013)
