Around Abruzzo, a series of paintings are waiting to be discovered and taken home free of charge by anyone who finds them.
This unique initiative was conceived and implemented by Samuelstage name of Gabriele Sichettia 32 year old from Pescara with a great passion for art.
Over the course of two weeks, Samuel disseminated 11 works in various places in the region, from Città Sant’Angelo to Giulianova, also passing through some mountain municipalities. The artist’s intent is clear: to give without receiving anything in return. With the “Let’s Seed Art” project, Samuel aims to leave a legacy tangible sign of his art in the most disparate places in Abruzzo.
The initiative makes all fans happy
Each work left by Samuel is not just a gift to the inhabitants or lucky visitors who find them; it’s also one reflection on the identity of the individual territories represented in the paintings. In fact, the artist wanted each piece to reflect the peculiarities and beauty of the different Abruzzo locations selected for his project. This connection between art and territory not only enhances local landscapes and cultures, but also stimulates greater awareness and appreciation of regional heritage.
The initiative has aroused great interest among the local population and tourists. Many enthusiastically followed the clues posted by the artist on social media to be the first to reach the place where the last painting had been hidden. The surprise of finding an original work of art ready to be taken away for free, it generated positive emotions and strengthened the bond between the community and its cultural and artistic heritage.
Samuel’s dream goes beyond the simple free distribution of his works: he aspires to significantly contribute to the growth of interest in art in his hometown, Pescara, hoping for a more prosperous future from this cultural aspect. The “Let’s Seed Art” project therefore aims to be the first step towards this ambitious but noble goal.
The second phase of the project involves the organization of a art exhibition in Pescara in collaboration with the association Family Life, where Samuel works as a volunteer. The intention is to use art not only as a means of expression but also as a social tool capable of supporting needy children and vulnerable people through fundraising resulting from the exhibition of the works donated by the artist himself.
This initiative demonstrates how powerful the combined effects of artistic altruism and community involvement can be in promoting culture and social empathy through simple but deeply meaningful gestures.
