The nature or condition of that which is composed of two elements or principles is called duality!

This mind-body dualism can be conceived as a perfect machine, an exceptional and exemplary apparatus that moves like an instrument that is self-sufficient in all its parts, a mechanism that on the one hand works philosophically, and on the other uses physics as dominant and essential energy!

In the conception of this concept that has always intrigued human beings, one finds, in fact, the presence of two fundamental principles conspiring towards a goal or contrasting with each other!

In the conception of this concept that has always intrigued human beings, one finds, in fact, the presence of two fundamental principles conspiring towards a goal or contrasting with each other!

Plato, Kant, and Descartes, especially the latter are the ones who introduced dualism into modern philosophy, and other philosophers have tried, each in their own way, to define this principle, and all, without distinction, have supported it with intelligence and culture, this indispensable concept!

I would like to address this topic not with order, but with a mental disorder that however gives meaning to this journey, even metaphorical, to the metaphysical

world, that world which on the one hand is immaterial, supernatural, transcendental, and on the other is sensitive, empirical, material and immanent!

I am a painter, and as such, dualism in the world of colors would be almost impossible instead, even in this colorful universe, metaphysics seen as an absolute value through an image is very important!

Black and white are the absolute masters of color in general! Both defend and fight the worlds they interpret and represent! They are two material entities with a very authoritative presence and their incisiveness and their essential and indisputable necessity mean that both become inevitable and mandatory for the creation of a work! Black and white in their very ancient duality, probably already existing at the dawn of life, of any type of life, even that which would seem to have no life, determine everything that then becomes for us humans and not only through visual effect or induction everything that can be considered color: the color of the known and unknown universe!
