The Brush and the Thought: Andrea Benetti

Art, an organic barometer of the fundamental intuitions of being and an external sign of its destiny: a general definition that may seem infinitely flexible, yet in reality proves to be extremely demanding in existential practice and can truly be applied only to a very small number of “adventurers of the heart, mind, and palette.”
How do we recognize these creators of a rare kind? Through their missionary commitment within a cosmic vision of energy, whose operative goal is the identification of being and its placement in harmony with the surrounding nature and its own inner self.
Andrea Benetti is exploring this inner galaxy, looking at the world with the eyes of a curious child. His is the extraordinary story of an encounter among the many fates that life places before us and of a man who is the archetype of us all. In him, there is the faith in creation and the betrayal of the transience of time and of the daily things—useless, ephemeral, and vain.
Andrea Benetti positions himself there—he is present, he is a creator.
Andrea Benetti is, finally.
