From Sestino at UN headquarters, success for the exhibition of Andrea Montefeltro

Has success the exhibition of sculptures by Andrea da Montefeltro, who will Sestino until August 20. Placed in a "hidden Sestino", often unknown even to the same sestinati, namely that architectural jewel in the eighth century. which is the crypt of the church of San Pancrazio - was joined by news that confirms the quality of this young artist. One of his works, the sculpture "The Time of Peace," won the international prize for peace in the world and will go to the UN headquarters. From Sestino in New York, it's appropriate to say. "At this time, explains the artist - the wind of the global crisis is an opportunity for a re-affirmation by man of ideas and values ​​in the name of fellowship and peace. The time is the element that means weaving and unravels the thread of peace that descends and s'innerva in the universal structure of the UN, illuminated by a heavenly light. " At the base of the sphere, a "cartouche" equatorial bearing the word "peace" in all languages ​​of the world. "Peace is a gift that comes from the individual, propagates from an initial vision for extending the social and personal relationships, with the aim of a shared harmony and absence of conflicts and any mere political interest," concludes the artist. The sculpture-like all the works of Andrea da Montefeltro - is made from local sandstone, soft and crumbly at the same time, it involves, therefore, a particular expertise in working it and strike her as an embroidery on linen. But above all, each work is a "book" to be interpreted in its many "concretions" culturally and historically, almost always tinged by a deep religiosity. Manual dexterity and great culture at the base of the work of Andrea, whose works are already in important museums in the Vatican, in America, in France and in Italy or from private galleries. This additional statement that leads to higher exposure levels the art that emanates from the ancient lands of the Montefeltro, gave satisfaction to the organizers of the exhibition of Sestino, located between the events of the centenary of the consecration of the cross of Sasso di Simone.
