On Wednesday 15 May at 6.00 pm – at the Palazzo dei Mercedari in Modica (Via Mercè, 6) – the inauguration of the painting exhibition by the master Salvatore Fratantonio entitled “Self-portrait, the sense and the essence” will be held.
The artistic evening includes greetings from Maria Monisteri (mayor of the city of Modica) and Giorgio Chessari (president of the Rossitto Study Center). Following the interventions of Mariacristina Tomaselli (psychologist psychotherapist) and Elisabetta Rizza (curator of the exhibition). The author, Salvatore Fratantonio, will be present.
The artistic exhibition (which will be open from 15 May to 14 July next, every day from 9.00 to 13.00 and from 15.00 to 19.00, except Sunday afternoons and holidays) is made possible thanks to the collaboration of the Rossitto Study Center with the Municipality of Modica.
“Fratantonio’s works – writes Mariacristina Tomaselli – seem to ask us about the key questions of life, they are questions to the core of existence”. For Elisabetta Rizza “the artist, to respond to the need for a narrative even more in line with his existential condition, has definitively transformed the tree which has now taken on increasingly abstract and less recognizable forms, also returning to the theme of light and darkness ”.
