Silvano Porcinai is a Florentine sculptor and a Professor of Art at the Institute of Fine Arts of Florence and Pisa. He is very close to Italian roots, so he often chooses subjects from his tradition.
The Etruscan Chimere is here reinterpreted in a fantastic modern way. According to the myth, it was a monster, it had the body of a lioness, a tail that ended up in a snake’s head and the head of a goat on her back. She was defeated by Bellerophon, a Greek hero, on his flying horse, Pegasus.
The artist represents it with a woman’s face, more expressive and suffering. It is watching us, maybe looking for a kind of empathy for her monstrous condition.
