A conversation about science, anthropology, and culture through Sciascia&#8217;s artistic creations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Filippo Sciascia, born in Sicily in Palma di Montichiaro, moved to the United States at a noticeably young age, before returning to Italy, to Florence, to continue his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts, where he graduated. He currently lives and works in Bali, Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>In 2011 he exhibited at the Italian Pavilion in the <i>Artisti Italiani nel Mondo<\/i> (Italian Artists in the World) section of the 54th Biennale of Venice. In 2018 he participated in the group exhibition Il <i>Grande Arcipelago<\/i>, organised by the Pistoletto Foundation in Bali. Finally, in 2019 he represented Italian contemporary art during the Giornata del Contemporaneo (The Contemporary Day) with the exhibition <i>Primitive mornings<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Sciascia&#8217;s works explore the relationship between art and science and the mysteries of the universe through painting techniques and the original use of materials, from metal to natural pigments.<\/p>\n<p>From <i>Lux Lumina<\/i> to <i>Primitive mornings<\/i> the predominant element is always light. &#8220;Light the base of everything, the light that illuminates represents the desire for balance in the world, it is the symbol of a discovery.
