Tomorrow morning a Jumpers, district has is from Naples will be presented at a press conference on murals from Giulio Roskin partnership with Cesare Cremonini. The singer commissioned the work from the Sicilian artist for the children from Naplesto talk about hope and the future.
Exclusively ai our microphonesthe artist Giulio Rosk told the work that will be unveiled tomorrow under the eyes of Cesare Cremonini who will personally go to the Ponticelli district.
“The idea was born last year with Cesare. He contacted me and explained his idea of him. He wanted to give color to the suburbs of cities. We immediately found the agreement, it was fantastic. We have chosen three cities: Palermo, Rome and Naples. This (Ponticelli, ed.) Is the last date but we hope to authorize others, this is our will. I thought it was a joke at first“.
Was the children’s idea Caesar’s? “He contacted me about my hyper-realistic style. In Naples I also did another work with Mirko Loste in 2014-15, at the Parco dei Murales. The work depicts two children playing football. I do hyperrealism, the idea is to tell the suburbs with one look to the future and we have also involved schools. Tomorrow there will be the presentation in which Cesare Cremonini will also come to meet and greet the children, including Raffaele who is the child portrayed.“.
Giulio Rosk: “The mural speaks of hope: children represent the city of Naples”
Giulio Roskalready author of another work a Naplesspoke about the project he started about 20 years ago and revealed the reason that led him to choose children as the main subjects.
Project? “Talk about the future and hope, especially in this period and what children would like in their neighborhood“.
How long did it take? “Today is the seventh or eighth day, I started last Monday. I had already met Ponticelli and I remembered well the welcome that Naples gives you. I’m from Palermo and we have a similar warmth but what happens here is magic. We were almost adopted, we arrived on tiptoe and it was immediately beautiful“.
Choice of children as protagonists? “It comes from a workshop, from a project. Behind it is my stylistic choice. Here Raffaele is represented who is the representation of this community“.
Giulio Rosk: “The work of Astori makes me proud”
The passion of Giulio Rosk has turned into hundreds of murals around Italy. The Palermo artist also drew Davide’s face Goshawksdefender and captain of the Fiorentinawho passed away prematurely in 2018.
What would you like? “I would like peace of mind for everyone, really. Today we are in an incredible situation that they will read our history books. I would like peace of mind for everyone and especially for those who need it“.
How did you start? “Now it is a job but it was born as a passion. It’s been 20 years now, I was very small. I was a half-vandal, I smeared the stations (laughs, ed.). I wanted to be an artist, I pursued my goal and I see my present and my future like this“.
Do you work on falconer? “I have dedicated a work to him that gives me so much pride. It represented a team and a city. The work was created together with an association that deals with children with oncological and heart problems in underdeveloped countries. He was a face of this foundation and from the stories I heard from friends and family I know he was really great“.
