Mario Raciti

I fiori del profondo (The Flowers of the Deep)

Short Review

All the works by Mario Raciti that have the title "The Flowers of the Deep" are inspired by the Greek myth that deals with the myth of Demeter and his daughter Persephone. In Raciti's biography there is the paragraph that tells this myth. In our case, on a dirty white background, Hades is a black spot in the bottom right and always from below depart the stems that carry on top the flowers, which are blue and brown. An ascending ochre yellow stain could mean a ripening wheat field.
