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 no. 4, 1987-89 Toward Awakening

After so many years of night without love, here are the first glimmers of an imminent awakening: a "Nativity" in which the child Jesus appears as a great king, "the sleeping soul" in which the Self re-emerges from oblivion, "The door ” of light of a near rebirth, and finally “The Angel and the Rock” in which a spiritual force tries to awaken a stone-like man.

It is another version of the "Spiritual Work" which, from the beginning, always expresses the relationship between spirit and matter.
