"The object of the artist is the creation of the beautiful.
What the beautiful is is another question."

From: "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" by James Joyce

Dedicated to my parents, Alberto Martorana (1920-2006)and Amelia Rosa Lladós, who instilled in me the appreciation of the arts, the delvings of the intellect, the value of compassion and forgiveness, and to "hold on when there is nothing in me."

Also dedicated to all artists past and present from whom I have learnt and inspired me, and with whom I share this insane devotion to image making.
