It is clearly a reference to the Christian iconography of Saint Sebastian. The martyr who was pierced by arrows. Here I continue to create works in line with the "Broken Humanity" theme. Also in this case I represent humanity, precisely that humanity that is a victim, that suffers and that, even if pierced and wounded, never stops hoping that things can change and improve. The red thread represents the passions, especially the destructive ones, the plots of life, and its conflicts. Furthermore, the yarn creates arrows that inflict pain on the saint. Just as people's human nature is affected and overwhelmed by events. Here too there are two red semicircles and the number 1 repeated in the corners, in reference to the symbolic aspect of the dichotomy and everything that leads people to divide and take sides. Two sentences are written within this work: For that heroism with which you endured the pain of the arrows, implore all of us again, oh glorious martyr Saint Sebastian, always you joyfully support illnesses, persecutions and everything else adversities of this life to one day participate in your glory in heaven, after having participated in your sufferings on earth. Sebastian, you represent the suffering of men and that caused by men. You are the symbol of everyone, the experience of everyone in this land. With strength and tenacity, you faced obstacles, even those you knew would lead to your death. Your gaze always remained aimed towards the sky and towards humanity. Broken humanity. You have survived the centuries thanks to love.

The paintings of Marco Monaldi have taken form during his childhood, within a life experience made up of dreams and incredible stories, in a highly dynamic emotional atmosphere, often lived in solitude and in a natural background where mother-Earth allows us to listen to the whispers of her multifaceted expressions. This condition represented the foundations of his inspiration, that once transcended, has given source to his artistic work. The creative drive of feeling, has in this way, materialized in his “creations”. Drawing represented the first means to follow his vocation. The base of the works of Marco Monaldi mainly consist of oil canvas paintings, both in white/black and in color. His technique mainly focuses on detail, that is closer to a realistic but not hyperrealistic style. His paintings are inspired by the important artists of the past whether his themes are related to angels, very dear to him or others such as flowers and still life, all distinguished by his very personal touch. The well made strong plastic lines and forms give life to a tridimensional perspective to the subject. Marco Monaldi goes beyond simple technique, because his use of white and black tones are extremely symbolic, the contrast of light and shadow, the large dimensions, a geometrical construction of space and a precise and detailed painting, all give a touch of a monumental and strong visual impact. His world is of symbolic, dreamlike, spiritual, transcendental nature. Furthermore his style is enriched by his strong bond with the oriental philosophies. In the last year, thanks to a profound stylistic reflection, he has radically changed his artistic work, without ever moving away from the figurative, but making it more contemporary. He makes use of the use of many different materials and techniques that lead him to the creation of suggestive and profound works.
