It is a difficult question. No money - no freedom. A lot of money - and you become a slave. I guess some freedom lies somewhere in between :-). Great metalic composition!

Brilliant point.. but not always, some people have only money, nothing else. And such people are very poor..

Great! Unusual. We need new ways is 3D art. It must be more than just a pose and perfect skin-lighting. Much more.

Giuliano: Ti prego di perdonarmi, ma vorrei scrivere i miei commenti in inglese, stasera. Voglio rispondere a tutta la tua arte, dal 22 aprile. Se traduco i miei commenti nella tua bella lingua, esso richiederà due volte tanto tempo. E non sarò in grado di finire. (Traduco ogni commento più volte, quindi sarà 'clear'.) Se vuoi farmi tradurre queste risposte, più tardi, sarò felice di farlo per voi! Tua arte merita un commento profondo e completo... Cercherò di usare le mie parole migliori, la mia migliore dizione, stile, ecc. (Se non scrivo commenti lunghi per voi, potuto tradurre molto, molto più facile!)
Inoltre: Grazie per i vostri commenti nella mia galleria. Sono sempre molto premurosi (meditato, intelligente, perspicace). Il tuo commento sulla mia storia di 'guerra' era del tutto corretta. Capito completamente, e vi ringrazio.
(I hope my English will translate into Italiano with clarity! The 2 paragraphs above took me 20 minutes...I WISH I were faster in your beautiful language!)
Re your art:
No one uploads art like yours. This is another of your unique images. I love the stone "money signs": You created a "Pound" sign (British Sterling). You created the Euro sign. And you created the Dollar sign. And these signs are all growing out of the ground, like big, ugly, marble trees. Or maybe they're made of metal. And the rest of the landscape? Barren. The ground is barren. The ground is lifeless. And we see some 'money trees' in the background too...
The man holds the money-signs: Maybe he's holding them 'back'---ie, he's keeping them 'away' from him---ie, as if they're about to fall on him. Or maybe he's deeply attached to them---ie, he can't let go. He's trapped and imprisoned by the money. The man is made of dark, rusted metal: To me, he tells us that money is a prison, and it turns us to decayed creatures.
The woman is chained to the money-tree. She's made of metal too. You have (brilliantly) rusted her skin. She seems to be covered in the soot and grime and dirt of money. And she is staring at her hand: Is she asking herself, "What happened to me???" She seems shocked. I love her hair too: You made her hair from metal scraps. And her chain is attached to a 'dog collar'. (Or a "slave's collar".) The cats are free---yes. As always, your cats are the "over-seers" in your art. 'Supervisores'? No---the saggi (saggio). The "Greek Chorus" (coro): Your cats are the creatures who comment on everything they. They provide the higher view, the freer, more liberated view. They never speak, yet their presence speaks a world of meaning...
The two front cats have colors that harmonize with the woman's colors. Beautifully done. But most of all, you've created a scene with two imprisoned, trapped humans. And the money-trees are so smooth, so shiny: They are so attractive. Yet, the money-trees have turned the world into a vast desert. And these two people are stranded in that desert (with blue mountains and purple sky...these 2 humans will never reach those mountains, or that sky). Another haunting art-work from you, done brilliantly, as always. You've portrayed your subject very powerfully and expressively.

Very true we are bound to money...but my grandmother who survived the great hunger in world war II said: "Hmmm, cats, they taste like rabbits"

The gritty texturing on the props and figures aptly expresses the sordid state of affairs that is the universal concern with material wealth today. The cats seem a bit out of place, though.
Money isn't exactly freedom, but many of us sure like to believe it is...
