I saw the feast of Rificolona. I saw bowls of fire cover the Duomo. I saw flaming torches and candlelit lanterns carried in the streets. I saw a benchmark of human cultural achievement. It made the fire within me burn ever more intensely.

...'Firenze'...

One of the first of the new collection of paintings to use a third iteration of the neon skull motif, this time with flaming eyes.

A universal motif, the skull is seen in art across all human cultures throughout history, and as such acknowledges our shared experience and commonality. To reflect this historical context, the 'Star Eyed Skull' motif, or the ‘Flame Eyed Skull’ motif in this case, has a tribal feel - and is reduced down to its most simplistic representation.

At the same time, in order to assert that these artworks are created in the present, the skull is rendered as neon. This not only makes the tribal motif contemporary, but also the fact that neon gives off light; symbolises how science, knowledge and art illuminate our lives.
