COLEOTTERI
Shining shells,
whispers of hidden worlds,
silent wings beating secrets,
life’s small infinite dance.

The beetle’s armor reflects resilience, a shield forged by time and trial. Beneath the hard shell lies vulnerability, reminding us that protection often conceals fragility. It embodies the paradox of strength and softness, inviting reflection on how we guard our inner selves. In its silent march, the beetle teaches patience and perseverance. Life’s battles are won not by force alone, but by enduring with quiet resolve.

A flash of iridescence flickers in the beetle’s wings—ephemeral beauty born from complexity. It is a metaphor for transformation, revealing how even the smallest creature carries the mystery of change within. The light shifting across its form speaks to the fluid nature of identity and perception. The beetle reminds us that reality is never fixed, but a dance of shifting angles and truths. To see fully, one must embrace the fleeting and the mutable.

This beetle moves through shadows and soil, a silent witness to life’s hidden cycles. Its presence beneath the surface points to the unseen foundations of existence, where growth and decay intertwine. It invites us to consider the depths beneath appearances, where meaning quietly unfolds. The beetle’s path is a meditation on humility and the wisdom of the unnoticed. True knowledge often lies in what we overlook.

Clad in dark hues, the beetle carries the weight of night and mystery. It is a symbol of the unconscious, harboring secrets that resist daylight scrutiny. Its journey is inward as much as outward, a passage through inner landscapes unknown. The beetle’s quiet persistence reveals the power of exploring the depths within. Darkness is not absence, but a realm rich with unseen potential.

The beetle’s steady crawl reminds us of time’s relentless flow, measured not in leaps but in deliberate steps. It teaches the value of presence, of being grounded amid chaos and change. Each move is purposeful, a small act of existence asserting itself against entropy. In its rhythm, we find a metaphor for life’s gradual unfolding and the strength found in persistence. The beetle’s journey is a quiet ode to endurance and hope.

"Oppressione" visually captures the invisible weight that sometimes presses upon the soul.
The compressed forms, dark tones, and tense lines evoke a sense of constraint, as if every element in the painting is being crushed by an unseen force.
The body, if present, appears bent, motionless, or trapped—a symbol of an inner state struggling to breathe.
The scene does not scream but whispers a steady tension, made of heavy thoughts, suffocating silences, and moments when life feels too dense to pass through.
It is an image that does not offer answers, but instead acknowledges the right to feel overwhelmed—while quietly awaiting a break, a space of light
