IL BOSCO is a triptych work of art that shows the magic of the pronounced forest.
“We need to talk about ecosystems before it’s too late…” says Gonzalo.
This work symbolizes the balance, serenity and peace of a powerful forest, affirming that a better world is possible if we all act in harmony. The fresh color palette and the images of species typical of a natural habitat as Gonzalo has accustomed us to, lead us in search of the pure state of consciousness.
The characters observe us and encourage us to think: “Innocence is recovered from the reunion with our own inner being. That inner being is there waiting for us to rediscover it and we can start over…”
“The pure state is in us. The trees in a forest speak to each other constantly, communicating above and below ground using sounds, scents, signals and vibrations. Forests symbolize the cycle of life, they embrace and contain species that we must learn to love” the artist tells us.
It is up to us to continue it!
IL BOSCO – CENTER MODULE A
The artist’s goal with this triptych work is to capture the full attention of the viewer. To do this, he uses the resource of looks. If we look at the entire work, the Ocelot is the only animal that looks us straight in the eye, inviting us to interact.
In pictorial times such as the Baroque or the Renaissance, one of the artists’ customs was for them to take self-portraits within a large painting, to reaffirm their authorship or to make their intentions understood.
Gonzalo also plays with it, he has transformed into this beautiful animal. His environmental intentions to take care of the forest are very clear and mark an important challenge of conscience in society.
The ocelot here is accompanied by the burg, a territorial, calm and solitary tropical bird with extreme beauty. It is native to South America.
IL BOSCO – SIDE MODULE B
In this module there is a toucan and an opossum. The characters in the scene begin to dialogue with each other.
The artist plastically shows us that the variety of these tropical birds is very wide and beautiful since it houses six genera and some forty-two species of toucans…
“Commonly we are familiar with only one species, so I wanted to reflect it in the work”
IL BOSCO – SIDE MODULE C
ROME is called the fawn. In general, children participate a lot in the works and are able to nickname the characters. In this case, 5-year-old Felicitas, chatting with her mother, chose this beautiful name.
Deer symbolize grace or the power of gratitude, innocence, intuition, speed and sweetness. Catching a glimpse of one symbolizes speed, stamina, leadership, and regeneration, while fawns represent innocence and the purity of youth.
Sometimes as adults we lose touch with our inner child, and seeing a deer can help us reconnect with that part of ourselves. They remind us to be kind to ourselves and to others.
ROME is accompanied by a friendly Red-faced Calancate, which is a South American bird of the parrot family. It is native to the Yungas in Argentina, it feeds on seeds and fruits…
