“-What’s the world’s greatest lie?” the boy asked, completely surprised.
“-It’s this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what’s happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That’s the world’s greatest lie.”9

Literature:
„Mėgstu tylą, bet šiandien negaliu jos pakęsti. Atrodytų lyg kas sėlintų. Baisu. Atėjo man į galvą mintis, kad toje tyloje glūdi svarbi paslaptis. Tarpais atrodo, kad toji tyli ir tamsi naktis tai kažkokia milžiniška baidyklė. Išsikėtojo ir lėtai lėtai atalsuoja. Plačiai atvertos sustingusios didžiulės akys, o jose abejingumo gelmė ir kažkokia svarbi paslaptis.”10

Iron Maden: “Dream of Mirrors”. Brave New World. EMI, 2000
Literature:
“Her face is pale, her body long and lean,
her shifting eyes glance to the left and right,
her snaggle teeth are covered with black rust,
her hanging paps overflow with bitter gall,
her slavered tongue drips venom to the ground;
busy in schemes and watchful in dark snares
sweet sleep is banished from her blood-shot eyes;
her smiles are only seen when others weep;
with sorrow she observes the fortunate,
and pines away as she beholds their joy;
her own existence is her punishment,
and while tormenting she torments herself.”15

Mulini a Vento
(Custom commission)
Technique and format
Original:
Charcoal on paper, 11.5×21 cm
Commissioned by:
Adrien Stevens Viticoltore Indipendente
It is the second collaboration with Adrien, born after a series of labels realized to represent his main production wines: Sottocielo, Blu di Notte, Erbacanta and Chiaretta. After this first eager and challenging collaboration this one came almost a plain sailing. The key to the success goes to the alchemical approach of Adrien to almost everything he values; Work, Family and Life, expressed in few (but very precisely chosen) words: simplicity, movement, simplicity, air, simplicity, earth.
Don’t be misled: this accent on the Nature of Simple represents the core quality of Adrien Stevens Viticoltore Indipendente, and only the ones, who have ever tired to aim It, know how challenging this path is.
With Gratitude, Salute, alla Vita!

“As you go through life’s rich tapestry, you realize that most people you meet aren’t fit to shine your shoes. It’s a sad fact, but it’s true. A good friend is someone who’d hide you if you were on the run for murder. How many of them do you know?”12
