KNOWLEDGE
The team and I working on the project realization
JUNE 2022
An Apollo (Del Belvedere), Greek god of knowledge, stands at the center of a composition articulated as an dawn on a world made of rationality (brain) and
love (heart), crowned by laurel, plant sacred to the god and notoriously index of wisdom. On the right we find mythological references to the eagle of Jupiter, bearer of victory and prosperity, and Prometheus, with the flame of knowledge stolen from the gods for men; finally the books, classic reference to study, stacked as a solid pillar on which the school is founded. The historic villa peeks out to the left, linked to a fragment of a Greek temple, creating an even more evident parallelism between the current and the ancient culture of our origins. This reference is reiterated and expanded globally by the collage that tops the entire mural, where we find famous temples, from every corner of the world, united in a single colorful soul. Other symbologies above refer to important areas and purposes of our times,
such as DNA, in the upper right, reference to human nature and scientific progress, with geometric shapes reminiscent of chemical molecules; in the upper left the well-known symbol of recycling, an important prerogative for a sustainable future for our planet, on a dreamlike sidereal background, to indicate its important universal value. Intine, to tie together all these elements, the word "knowledge", written in several languages, on the rays, "torn" from the grey wall of inertia and ignorance, of this rising sun that will illuminate from now on the present, hoping for a great future, to all the students of Greppi. A true hymn to rebirth!
