Artist's commentary
It’s an immense honor to announce a truly historic project for the🇻🇦Vatican 🤍💛. With indescribable joy I’d love to introduce to you “Luce ”, the very first Mascotte for a Jubilee, a special celebration the Church holds at least once every 25 years. It’s a year of pilgrimages, of a focus on the spiritual life.
To be honest, I could never have imagined that I would bring my humble artistic contribution, pop-culture, kawaii-culture to the Holy See. I am extremely grateful to the Dicastery for Evangelization for opening its doors to my Art.
I grew up in my hometown Rome in a Catholic family, where I learned the principles of a faith grounded in generosity and respect for others.
In my work, I am fortunate to engage with the many cultures of the world, constantly searching for a contemporary and universal language that I strive to bring into my compositions.
The Jubilee is undoubtedly a unique opportunity for encounter and dialogue for millions of people, including many young people.
I hope that the pilgrim Luce and her traveling friends, can represent the sentiments that resonate in the hearts of the younger generations.
It’s a marvelous experience and a joyful light that I will bring within me for the rest of my Life. 🤍💛🙏🏻🇻🇦
