About this artwork
Painted in acrylic and thick polyurethane varnish, it is inspired by the myth of Ogun, the African god, an invincible warrior who opens new paths for humanity. Like Ogun, a parent becomes unstoppable when it comes to protecting their child, and opens whatever path is necessary for their child's well-being. This painting honors the figure of the Father.
"Listen to the beat that fills your veins… and sing."

In the words of the experts, I would say:
Marco Marroccu champions a visceral aesthetic, where the canvas becomes the existential battlefield for the eternal conflict between the shadows of reality and the catharsis of rebirth, elevating pain to a prelude to a luminous spiritual palingenesis.
...and I could do that too, if you want.
But I paint monsters and I don't want to soften them: I just want them to stay there, nice and still on the canvas, so that the rebirth can take place.
I tell the story of bruised women who choose freedom; I tell the story of tenacious recovery after illness, after loss; of the child who faces bullies, depression, hunger, fathers deprived of their children: I tell the story of life's monsters, and of rebirth.
If you've ever fought a monster, if you've ever sought a Rebirth, then you know: my works tell of you.
