immense wings of Lucifer. In Dante's description, Cocito is portrayed as a terrifying place: the gloomy atmosphere resounds with the lamentations of the damned souls, whose eyes are encrusted with crystallized tears.

Giampiero Abate, advertising illustrator turned hyper-realist painter, explores the world through the airbrush without conventional artistic training. He uses a method that blends digital sketching and airbrushing, enhancing human perspectives in the Anthropocene with a touch of the absurd. His works inspire reflections on the need for a paradigm shift, guiding the observer towards cosmic awareness.
