‘The fly of Icaro’ is a glossy plaster statue that captures the essence of the Greek myth through a dynamic and poetic representation. The glossy surface, with its golden and blue shades, simulates the reflection of the sunlight and the blue of the sky, evoking the dream of flying. The figure, with extensive wings and the body inclined upwards, transmits a sense of freedom and ambition, but also of fragility. The intense expression of Icaro’s face suggests both the euphoria of flight and awareness of risk, a reference to the archetype of the search for knowledge and its dangers. ‘The flight of Icaro’ invites the observer to reflect on human limits and on the aspiration to overcome his fragility.
