Description
Each of us has a life path since a child was sitting on a rocking horse when, after sitting on several chairs or thrones, he ended his days on a rocking chair. He leaves leaving the memory of his life path to his loved ones only.

It's a harder road for some, but as long as we feel we have achieved something by the end, it's worth it !
Neat surrealism to convey your thoughts.
~Cheers~
A really fantastic allegory. Great done, my dear friend!

I know the feeling well... seems like I start there every morning... Beautiful work!!!
Wonderful!
Wonderful surreal artwork.
Beautiful work ! Chairs kind of take on a life of their own.
fascinating imagination and scary that the rocking chair is so large and the rocking horse so far away what makes me sad in real life! impressive artwork as always 🏹

Our loved ones are the only persons that mean the most to us as we live and die.

I seen some surreal art in an outdoor gallery in Eureka,CA and thought of your gallery
Perhaps an important question to ask here would be whether we leave behind for our loved ones anything worth remembering. Have we led a good life? What good things have we left for our posterity?
A clever idea, how you stack a rocking horse atop another chair, then another, and place the stacks of chairs around. I notice four differently colored drapes as well. Didn't notice all these interesting features until I looked more carefully!
One of your very best.
Awesome
Another consummate image, Giuliano...
You've created 4 huge rocking chairs. Each rocking chair has two old chairs on it, and a small rocking-horse on top of them. These chairs are like the succession of years (in a life). The chairs---with wonderful detail---are made from almost bronze-colored stone. You've used these textures before. (It might also be aged wood, even 'cork'.) The chairs are old, but 'venerable' (venerabile? onorato?): Their hue suggests that they are honored by the young. And the rocking chair of age supports the rocking horse of childhood.
The chairs sit on a floor (the ground) made of the same material...and it, too, has a 'bronze' feeling, something old and venerabile. There's a 'sterile' feeling about this vast place, as if memory were distant, as if memory many kilometers 'away'...And yet, you also created a vast 'room', in which a whole family's memories sit, in which they commune with each other silently.
One person looks at a vast chair, perhaps with wonder. Perhaps with sadness. Perhaps with mere curiosity...The other person seems oppressed by all this memory: He wants to walk away...perhaps he realizes he cannot walk away...
With those abstract mountains in the background, this is a vast landscape. And two people have entered this landscape, and they will linger for a while, and then leave. You've created a feeling of melancholy, youthful curiosity, sadness, and honor. All the emotions that families have. And, instead of creating an attico, you've created a huge open valley...a wonderful metaphor for memory, an open 'airy' place, mixed with mystery, loss, and search.
With just 2 people in your image, you create a landscape that is 'alone' for many hours or days. People will visit this place, but then go away. Young people can come 'into' this vast landscape, and then go away. The light is stark and bright, the shadows are deep. And each chair---each life---has powerful veils or sheets draped across it. (They are the only saturated hues in the whole image.) It's brilliant, Giuliano: Very powerful, very vivid, technically brilliant and 'sharp', and filled with a feeling of remorse, loss, curiosity, and mystery. A brilliant image of memory and life.
Great use of symbolism
