Possible worlds is the result of an experiment in a creative workshop between Mario Vespasiani (1978) and forty children from classes 3, 4 and 5 of the primary school in Montottone (Italy). After the exhibitions in connection with the great masters of Italian Art, Vespasiani decided this time to join, with the right dose of courage and irresponsibility, his new small paintings, achieved on velvet and coloured material with those of the children involved in the project.
After the creation of these paintings Mario Vespasiani decided to show both the children work and his own together in a dynamic contemporary art gallery in the centre of Rome.
At same time the new work of Vespasiani captures the will to unite the sky with the earth, through similar shapes like constellations that "break off" to become islands, planets of particles, signs and trajectories of which the coordinates leave open the possibility like to lose yourself in that which seems basically like a spiritual journey.
This is about a reflection on an unfinished idea to try to understand the mystery of that surrounds the artistic worlds.
