It is an artwork that embodies the intrinsic desire of man to distance himself from everyday reality and immerse in a mysterious journey in search of a utopian place, where everything transforms into a transgression from corporeality and illusion. The inherent metaphor within the artwork unfolds as a visual narration of this inner journey.
A naked man, wearing only red shoes, embarks on a cycling journey that elongates the bicycle due to the wind resistance, creating a scene where the physicality of the human body merges with abstract geometry. The palette of red tones enhances the intensity of the desire to escape, while the play of triangles and squares represents the complexity of the reality the man seeks to elude.
The part of the representation that appears to escape like the wind, converging against the bicycle, becomes a metaphor for the search for a utopian place where the conventions of reality are subverted. In his effort to escape, the man expresses the desire to surpass the limits of corporeality and immerse himself in an experience where illusion merges with transgression.
The abandoned white bag becomes the tangible symbol of anchoring to everyday reality, even as the man, with all his energy, strives to escape it. This duality between the desire to flee and the presence of the bag highlights the complexity of the relationships between the individual and their context.
In conclusion, "The Mystery of the Red Shoes" invites interpretation as a visual metaphor for the perennial human desire to explore unknown territories, to escape the limitations of reality, and to immerse oneself in a utopian place where transgression becomes the key to understanding the very essence of life.

I was born in Fano. Graduated Master at the International Art Institute "Fanum Fortunae" in Fano. In the 60s I moved to Milan, to continue my studies by attending the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, located in the heart of that vibrant, free and nonconformist Milan of those years, sharing art with many artists who frequented the favorite for many of them: a golden decade of art, music, fashion, design and a great will to live. In 1975 the first personal exhibition, "Tratti & Ritratti", Galleria Guelfa, Florence. In 1977 in Rome. I attended the Academy of Dramatic Art "P. Sharoff". The meeting with the famous F. Vigo gallery owner immediately established a good feeling and so he exhibited in his "Numero" gallery in Rome, a point of reference for relations between internationally renowned artists and intellectuals. In 1981 I returned definitively to Milan, from here I resumed my initial path. In 1991 I was fully accepted as an Academician at the Academy of Fine Arts in Fano. In the years to come, with multimedia events and installations, my painting maintained the figurative style between the visionary and the fantastic, continuing the transit towards the latitude of the dream leads me to express, through journeys of the psyche, the metaphors of the life of the my mental imagery.
