Artist's Comments

This is a painter I’ve ever called “The Italian Van Gogh”: Ligabue, the mad man, he used colours as a loud voice, to scream his fears and to tell us his visions. I loved it and I wanted to thank him.

Antonio Laccabue, alias Ligabue, uno dei più famosi esponenti italiani del genere naif.
Pazzo e geniale lui, selvaggia e sgargiante la sua visione della natura.
Ho pensato che gli dovevo un omaggio e così ho fatto.

Yeah, I got it!
Ligabue's biography almost moved me to tears: his father died as he was a child, his mother got him into a madhouse (just because he had a violent breakdown). Then the World war, the loneliness, the jail.
And on the other side, his paintings with a wild nature and the endless sadness in his eyes, on those self-portrait…
I couldn't paint nothing but hot colours 2 tribute him my admiration.
