Massimo d’Orta's painting is a continuous exploration of the mind and soul of an artist who has made art his primary form of expression. "Zi Nicola esce lo stesso" ("Uncle Nicola Goes Out Anyway") is an oil on canvas that marks the first step towards what would later become d’Orta’s most famous period, "Il Grande Inverno".
In this piece, the sun and the moon coexist in a tearful sky, overlooking a dark, deep sea—dangerous and daunting to navigate. Yet, in the middle of this tumultuous seascape, a boat presses forward, symbolizing life that persists despite difficulties and uncertainties. This evocative image reflects the resilience of the human spirit, moving forward even in the face of adversity.
