"Demeter, goddess of agriculture, wheat and its history"
The work is inspired by Vittorio De Seta’s documentary “Parabola d’Oro” on the wheat cycle and agricultural landscapes. The artist rereads the fundamental moments of the rural civilization of the Corleone area according to a mythological perspective. The myth of Demeter is the story of the grain cycle. After sowing, the grain remains underground for a long time and only returns to flower in spring, which is why the imaginative mind of the Greeks narrated that Kore, the grain, was kidnapped by Hades, god of the underworld and that Demeter, mother of Kore, forced Zeus to intervene by forcing Hades to leave her free. But Hades, before letting her go, offered her the seeds of a pomegranate: accepting them, Kore was forced to remain underground for another 6 months. On the right side of the mural, the artist invents a sort of group of hands that try in vain to hold Kore back. On the left Demeter, who stands solemn and grandiose among her fields of gold, while the work of the peasant servants is in full swing around her.
