The Self that emerges (The Dawn) 1982 140 x 90, oil on canvas |
While part of ourselves shipwrecks in life's scum, another part tries to emerge and is about cut water's surface, like the sun at twilight time, in the spirit's sky. |
 |
The Soul and the Ego 1982 140 x 90, oil on canvas |
In life's obscure navigation, with a body made of fragile wood, the soul is similar to a female while the masculine principle is to be found at prow: it is the ego, or perhaps a superior force, also, capable of guiding him through. It would appear that it be only one figure whose bosom has two breasts: one loving and sweet, the other closed and cold like a sphere of steel. |

Quadratus 1982 100 x 60, oil on canvas |
"Quadratus" is, according to Jung, one of Mercury's names; the one to indicate his characteristic multiplicity, which leads him to overlap the wholeness, of which the number four is a symbol. Mercury, with his winged helmet, is a silhouette that constantly appears in many of Mazzucconi's works, like the signature or sign of the presence of the inner genius or, if you prefer, the "Self". |
