This work is part of the project “Micaelica: On the way to San Michele Arcangelo and his sanctuaries” and represents the fourth stage of the Micaelica Line. It was included in my solo exhibition Micaelica in Turin, presented by the distinguished Don Marcello Stanzione.
The subject is the Sacra di San Michele, the symbolic monument of Piedmont, which dominates the Susa Valley from the summit of Mount Pirchiriano. Its legends tell of visions of the Archangel, and of a chapel consecrated by angels, seen at night enveloped in fire. Its aura also inspired Umberto Eco for The Name of the Rose.
As a pop artist, I brought this iconic sanctuary into a vivid, contemporary language. My originality lies in translating the sacred into pop codes: immediate colors, contrasts, and a visual energy that makes contemplation accessible and alive. This painting carries a riot of colors and a mantle of serenity—a paradoxical coexistence that evokes calm while remaining vibrant, in line with my pop reinterpretation of themes traditionally treated in other styles.
