SINE CULTURA NULLA EST LIBERTAS, 2024

The artwork comes to life as a tribute to the essence of culture as a path to freedom. A fundamental truth emerges: knowledge is the key that opens the doors of opportunity and drives us toward evolution. 

The title of the piece, “Sine cultura nulla est libertas” – “Without culture, there is no freedom” – is a quote that transcends the centuries, reminding us that culture is the bulwark that ensures and nurtures freedom in society.

At the center of the piece, Canova’s Three Graces emerge, embodiments of art as a manifestation of culture and beauty. Each of them carries a unique meaning: splendor, joy, and prosperity. A tribute to women, they reveal the deep connection between femininity and the concept of grace. They represent the intrinsic beauty and harmony that permeate the order of the universe.

Thus, the artwork becomes a hymn to life and a celebration of the gratitude for experiencing it. In a constantly changing world, it calls us to reflect on the inseparable bond between culture and freedom. Like the pillars upon which a conscious civilization stands, culture and knowledge guide us toward true freedom, allowing us to grow and thrive. This piece reminds us that nourishing the mind and soul with culture is the key to fully embracing freedom and humanity itself.
