Painting is, for Vittorio Mazzucconi, an "inner journey" that goes from eros to transcendence, with images that present themselves with astonishing truth. His path passes through the women he loved and who, in the exhibition, take the names of mythological figures, suggesting the deepest presence of the fundamental archetypes of life.

With eyes fixed on this "super-reality", the events of contemporary art appear only as the superficial, ideological and commercial inventions of the "external" path, so far from the internal one of true art.

Show 1980-86 The night of the soul

There followed a long period without love, that is, without the lively alternation of light and darkness. In a sunless sky appear figures that are not exactly mythological but evocative of mysterious truths, such as "The Fall", "Poseydon", "Incarnation", the latter relating to the sudden eruption of the son in the age of maturity. "The Argonaut" instead recounts the unfortunate search for the lost woman, but there are above all the paintings ("Figure", "The Submerged Self") which evoke the tiring emergence of the Self.
