Title: LA Pietà today… according to me
Description
Title: THE Pietà today...in my opinion. Technique: oil and acrylic on round canvas. Dimensions: diameter 30 cmThe Central Scene: Human Sacrifice
The work stands out against a pitch-black background, a cosmic void that erases time and space to focus attention on the human drama. At the center, the composition echoes the classic pyramidal structure: a Mother (the Madonna) holds the lifeless body of her Son.
However, the sacred gives way to the profane and denunciation. At the feet of the figures, almost as if breaking the illusion of the biblical scene, lies a bloody syringe. This detail transforms Christ into a universal symbol of contemporary sacrifice, representing—in the artist's vision—the victims of adverse reactions to vaccines. The Virgin's suffering thus becomes the pain of a humanity mourning its children lost in the name of a medical choice.
The Symbolic Contrast: Innocence vs. Power
On the right of the tondo, the narrative shifts to the future and childhood:
• The Puttini: Two little angels, symbols of purity and innocence, appear crouched and visibly terrified.
• The Green Dragon: A monstrous figure embodying danger, brute force, or a dark and threatening power.
• The Giant Syringe: Next to the dragon, a disproportionately large syringe looms, symbolizing the oppression of mandatory vaccinations for children, perceived as an overwhelming and monstrous threat.
