Achill – sculpture

Achill, by the artist Daniele Basso, is a bird of prey of the Celtic tradition. Noble and powerful, he slips lightly in the air. He owns the sky. He moves like a fast and limitless mirage. He flies high above the reality of the earth, of which he is the fastest animal ever, through the spiritual world and symbol of enlightenment, creativity, truth and experience. A guide to love for man and nature, values that today are all too often subordinate to particular interests. An image of the faculty of observing things from afar, from above, while remaining able to look at details in detail from close up, plunging precisely into matter when necessary.

Achill, a mirror steel work assembled and polished by hand, is the metaphor of our ability to evaluate free from conditioning. The courage to apply convictions and principles in practice, always doing what you think is right. Even on the most complicated occasions. It is the ability to solve problems with speed and precision. Without the doubts or uncertainties of a limited overview. It is the freedom to administer one’s own value and life freely and in harmony with the world.
