“The Book Eater” is an artwork realized following the theme suggested by Expo 2015: “First Feed your Mind”. I celebrate the importance of knowledge, of the “hunger” of knowledge that I express through the most natural and instinctual existing action: eating. The book pages that complete the canvas are excerpts of great and fundamental literature masterpieces from different big cultures of the world, found in original language.
Since knowledge comes from everywhere, and it speaks every existing language, the protagonist, with an astonished look, gradually becomes colorful while she is eating, and she would never be satisfied of tales and creativity.
