Among the 40 street artists who will participate in the 2021 edition of Super Walls , the Street Art Biennial of Abano Terme and Padua (June 5-20), our Alessio-B could not be missing, an artist highly appreciated not only for his murals , but also for the canvases and prints that portray iconic characters such as the Mona Lisa, Ayrton Senna or children who express messages of love and freedom.
For the first edition of the Street Art Biennale, in 2019, Alessio-B he had made a beautiful wall adaptation of a work that had had and continues to enjoy great success: “ Look at the stars ”.
The protagonist is a child wearing an astronaut helmet and looking at the starry sky. It is a tribute to a piece of one of the most famous speeches given by physicist Stephen Hawking:
“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don't just give up” .

ALESSIO-BLOOK AT THE STARS
Translated, it is an invitation to look beyond the superficial meaning of things and not to give up: “Remember to look at the stars and not at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and ask yourself what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And as difficult as life may seem, there is always something you can do and be successful at. It matters that you don't just give up."
The blue sky and the stars in relief (which become fluorescent in the dark) are instead a tribute to the starry sky painted by Giotto inside the Scrovegni Chapel, one of the symbols of the city of Padua.
This year the theme on which the artists of the Street Art Biennale have been invited to reflect in order to create their works is the rebirth . Are you curious to know what Alessio-B will create?
