'First and Last' by Simone Piccioni

"The initial mark may be imperfect, possibly made with a pencil, but it's crucial as it sparks the idea. The final mark stands alone, yet it feels perfect because it's the most beautiful.

In between, the mark transforms into a thought, defying conventions, embracing mistakes and poetry. It pursues truth, self-awareness, pushes boundaries, messes up the canvas, wears out brushes, and stains clothing.

The first mark is already a distant memory, the last dream holds the deepest affection."

Simone is an exceptionally talented Italian artist with a diverse career that includes fine art, acting, theatre, photography, and filmmaking. Inspired by the likes of Joan Mirò and Van Gogh, his journey is nothing short of remarkable.

He's earned recognition from some impressive figures, including the Prince of Qatar, the President of Italy, and Bulgari. Simone is highly sought-after, frequently commissioned by European government officials and prestigious palaces. This exhibition is a must-see.
