About this artwork
Moby Dick is one of the most profound books ever written. It is not just an adventure novel, it takes you and leads you into the meanders of the sick brain of man in the perennial hunt for the biblical "Leviathan", the White Whale who lives in the dark recesses of the oceans: in reality the monster cohabits in the mind of the man, truly responsible for all environmental disasters. The work is an open book fixed on plywood with sheets treated with…
acrylic resin and aluminum sheets.

Antonio Presti is an experienced painter and sculptor based in Italy whose works have been exhibited nationally and in the United States. After completing his artistic studies in 1975, he came into contact with the grandeur of nature in the mountains of Turin, which inspired him to create landscapes with a "revisited naturalism". Presti's "fairy tale and allegorical microcosms" are most often conveyed through the symbolic imagery of trees and fish.
