Extracts from the life of an artist, an athlete, a philosopher; a man occupied with the determined and instinctive research of beauty, justice, and of the deepest truth. A search that crosses several fields: from the purely artistic one to the sacred one, from the most ancient and remote times to our modern and contemporary world. An observer that, thanks to painting, manages to escape from the day-to-day banality and human mediocrity. A fascinating text that proves the redeeming power of art.
