The "Witnesses" invite you to a timeless travel, with a touch of plurality andtolerance. Between imagination and reality, they offer a wisdom and peacemessage. The totem look reflects the desire of elevation and spirituality of acollective identity seeking for right to difference. Mixed cultures, races, erasgive mixed materials: bronze or ceramic for tradition and resine for modernity.

A witness of a peculiar perception of world I was born a beautiful day ofseptember 1958, from a Calabrese father and an Armenian mother. Sun ofMediterranean sea and Oriental charm both bended on my cradle, filled mychildhood with Italian songs and "One thousand and a night"tales. I have alwaysbeen proud of this plurality, rich of colours and feelings. Very young, I wastold to be peculiar, non agreeable. Always seeking for myself, I spent everydayof these last fifteen years to the learning of this "job" in which love and workmust be leaders. I made paintings, drawings, sculptures, mosaics, nude fromlife, stamps, poteries... I learned from each of these works, grew richer andadorned my emotions.

Step by step, I unrolled the leading thread of what I wanted to say, themessage I had to offer was clarified until this year of 1977 when the "Tmoins"(Witnesses) sprang out of the chest in which everything was heaped andintermingled. I, in fact, think we offer what we are. I am mixed and it's that Iwant to speak about, about difference, tolerance, self and others agreement...Love. A bit like in my grandfather's Oriental tales. Thanks to my parents forthese presents.
