Name:               Enrosadira – 50° Anniversary Dolomiti Superski

Message:

“Under the same sunset sky, all the peoples of the Dolomites experience the iconic monumental mountain profiles as a common horizon toward which they continue to build a future together. Enrosadira, between legend and reality, becomes a symbol in art of experiences, messages, emotions and visions, which testify to the dialogue and become common projects and programs of Dolomiti Superski.”

Dolomiti Superski, 50 years after its birth, is still a model of cooperation projected into the future, a true ambassador of the Dolomite People and Lands in the world.

Name:               Re Leone

Message:

Re Leone is a wish of courage and pride that are intertwined with the force expressed by the animal in nature. Today when foxiness seems to replace the values of coherence and dignity on several levels, it is a reflection on the power of those who he believes in his dreams and has the courage to pursue them.

Name:               Caryatis

Message:

The old myths find new energy!

The course and appeal of history materializes. Destruction & reconstruction produce similar but not equal results. Small differences are where we stay. To be protagonists of our time.

The Karyatis sculptures represent lightness as a sign of strength. The girls of Karya dance imperturbably under the weight of the world. Because learning to exist in every moment with lightness is a great achievement. The centrality of women and their role in the family and in society are themes that run through history in an unstable way, constantly seeking balance and determination. Women carry extraordinary weights with inexhaustible elegance and strength of spirit, restoring lightness and beauty

Tempus Angulare
Tempus Angulare

This work represents an occasion to ponder upon and investigate transcendency through the language of Art, Design and new metalwork techniques. It is a thought of change and revolution. The idea and symbol of Christ as a milestone overlaps the concept and metaphor of Time. In a moment of crisis, when we are thrown into the fray and deprived of benchmark figures, we can start by signs and symbols to rebuild a new tomorrow. It represents a starting point for an outward journey to reach a new frontier land through the values of the respect for life, brotherhood and equality. It is a message of hope, an invitation to faith in a larger sense, not necessarily to believe in the establishment, but certainly in mankind and life.
