You get talent when you discover the ground of your pain.
Citazione

There is hope and a kind of beauty in there somewhere, if you look for it.

Citazione

Some people would say my paintings show a future world and maybe they do, but I paint from reality. I put several things and ideas together, and perhaps, when I have finished, it could show the future.

Citazione
The beautiful is something that stands out against everything else.

Art evokes the mystery without which the world would not exist.

In a world where everything is sensationalized, the true artist is the one who can capture the essence of the mundane and make it extraordinary.

To confront the darkness is to embrace the light within ourselves.

The human body is a vessel for both beauty and horror, reflecting the duality of our own nature.

I find inspiration in the macabre and the grotesque, as they reveal the hidden aspects of our psyche.

Hello world!

There is beauty in darkness and ugliness in perfection.

The world of dreams and nightmares is where true creativity resides.

Ten years after his death, the exhibition ‘H.R. Giger: Beyond Alien’ is a major tribute to one of the most fascinating and controversial artists of the second half of the 20th century. Over seventy original works, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, design objects and videos from the Giger Museum, represent the richest collection of the master’s works ever exhibited in Italy after his death.

The centrepiece of the exhibition is, of course, the Xenomorph, Giger’s most famous and perhaps most unwieldy creation, the alien monster created for director Ridley Scott and the centrepiece of the entire Alien universe. An exhibition for Giger fans, but not only, an immersive exhibition to admire live some of the most iconic pieces, but also to discover lesser known aspects of the Swiss artist.
