About this artwork
The story of the Bombyx is the transformation of a tiny insect's existence, whose short life cycle is reverted to precise repetitive phases, into a thouusand-years-old work of art. Not only hasits cocoon transformed into a fine silk thread, but its very existence has generated a flow of events, contaminations, confrontations that traveled to distant lands. Its story evokes every artist's desire to transform his or her works into pure wonder, into…
a higher and more eternal essence.

« The act of creation is a kind of ritual. The origins of art and humanity lie hidden in this mysterious creation. Human creativity reconfirms and mystifies the power of life. -Keith Haring »
Elena Monzo is an Italian painter, draftsman, and printmaker who has exhibited her works nationally. She compares her artworks to an onion, as her compositions can be interpreted in many layers. Monzo's subjects are mostly women, and she enjoys portraying the female figure because it is complex and through it, we can deepen our understanding of various cultures, as well as our society. Her subjects are often depicted wearing masks, because "the mind lies while the heart is free".
