About the artwork

This intriguing image adaptation brings a reddish octopus to life amid the ancient grandeur of the Roman Colosseum. The interplay of contrasts, between the fluid movements of the octopus and the stately architecture of the amphitheatre, creates an atmosphere of mystery and wonder.

The imposing spectacle is enhanced by the presence of a large moon high in the night sky, while a shooting star draws a brief trail of light. These symbols of cosmic grandeur add an extra dimension of magic to the scene, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a world where reality and fantasy merge seamlessly.

The choice of the red octopus as the central figure is no accident. Here, the octopus, a creature known for its intelligence and adaptive abilities, represents an intriguing mix of power and mystery. Its presence in a setting steeped in history and tradition raises questions about the boundaries of time and space, and invites contemplation on the endless possibilities of the universe.

The sculpture invites the viewer to dream, speculate and fantasise. Imagine entering the Coliseum at night and witnessing this surreal spectacle. Would you make a wish upon seeing this enchanting meeting between old and new, between man and sea? The choice is yours as you let yourself be carried away on the waves of imagination and wonder.
