Maria Longo (Doctor and Dancer)

Giuseppe Siniscalchi and Mario Tantin


Tantin’s word represents a man with his head down on his joined hands, laying on a cane on an undefinite background of warm, earthy colors. It could be the sunset hour. The man is tired as the posture tells us, he is tired to face every day what life puts before him. You can imagine his wrinks and concentration.
In Siniscalchi’s work, the main figure keeps his gaze towards the future, he is fierce and strong, ready for anything that might happen. This is what the man in the painting cannot imagine. He cannot acknowledge that it is his own strength that permits him to go through life every day. His soul is pure and gritty as the one of a children. The painting represents each one of us, when we are tired and stressed, forced to denegate our emotional self, neglecting our worth and our inner force that guides us every day and forsters our dreams and battles.
