About this artwork

The figure of Nelson Mandela is fundamental to the story of all of us, a source of inexhaustible inspiration. We owe him the abolition of apartheid in South Africa, because it was Madiba who fought against racism, inequality and poverty. For this he spent 27 long years in prison, for his resistance to the South African segregationist regime. He was released in 1990 and became President of South Africa in 1994 in the first universal suffrage elections.…
In prison, it was a harsh prison of total isolation, Madiba never lost hope and declared himself willing to die for what he believed in, which is a just and equitable society. And he said, in fact, at the trial, with a passionate four-hour speech: I have nurtured the ideal of a free and democratic society, in which all people live together in harmony ... This is an ideal for which I live and which I hope to to achieve.

« Beauty hides not only in strengths but also in flaws and weaknesses, making us imperfectly perfect people. »

Enrica Toffoli gives shape to the invisible. In her paintings, faces tell silent stories. Each portrait is a journey into intimacy, a dialogue between the artist and the soul that emerges from the canvas. Vivid acrylic colors, breathing inks, pencil strokes that search for the truth hidden in the folds of a gaze. Specializing in commissioned portraits, she captures not only the features, but the very essence of those who entrust themselves to her. In clay, on the other hand, creatures from another world are born: timeless angels, sculpted with hands that know the language of the earth. Hybrid figures, suspended between the human and the divine, which she then covers in color: gold, red, cobalt blue, as if the sky itself had painted them. Her works, exhibited between Italy, Europe and America, are bridges thrown between two kingdoms: that of the flesh and that of the spirit. Because for her, art is always a double revelation: showing what we are, and hinting at what we could be.
