Mi addormentavo a braccia aperte e gli animali della foresta venivano a coccolarsi fra le
mie ascelle. Cosa cambiò da allora non lo so; so che i miei fratelli non si accontentarono
più delle figlie degli uomini e peccarono con gli animali manipolando la loro natura come
se fosse un gioco.
I nostri padri furono mandati sulla terra per proteggere questo pianeta ed invece eccoli,
colpevoli di deturpazioni e tra le più gravi: generare noi giganti ed insegnare le arti agli
uomini compresa la scrittura. Noi figli crescemmo senza guida, nella consapevolezza che i
nostri padri fossero colpevoli e reietti perché questo ci mostrarono sempre nei gesti e ci
manifestarono con le parole. Così molti di noi crebbero odiando quello che i loro padri
avrebbero dovuto proteggere e che poi divenne per loro prima una prigione e poi la tomba.
Io crebbi meno cattivo degli altri e fu per questo che mi fu ordinato di aiutare Noè a
costruire un’arca enorme nella quale accogliere i campioni di animali non corrotti per farli
sopravvivere al diluvio.
Ero molto forte ma ci vollero comunque tantissimi anni per costruire l’arca e molti di più per
raccogliere le razze incontaminate della terra; tutto però fu invano per me perché, quando
iniziarono a cadere le prime gocce del grande cataclisma, vidi di lontano Noè con la sua
famiglia entrare chiudendosi dietro la porta dell’arca.
Lo sapevo! Troppi erano i segni che indicavano i nomi dei sopravviventi, ma non gli
demmo importanza; non credemmo al castigo, compreso me, nonostante tutto quel che
avevo fatto ne fosse l’annuncio.
Non feci come i miei fratelli che cercarono inutilmente la salvezza nuotando ed
annaspando, mi sedetti nella zona più depressa della valle ed aspettai.
Ah, Noè, Noè…non mi hai detto nemmeno grazie!

Stefano Galli, born in 1950 in Falconara Marittima and nurtured amidst the dynamic milieu of Milan, seamlessly intertwines his artistic and scientific pursuits. Refusing to perceive a schism between the foundational principles of industrial and civil design and his lifelong commitment to art, Galli embarked on a journey where creativity and functionality coalesce.
Drawing inspiration from futurism, metaphysics, and surrealism, Galli's paintings bear the unmistakable imprint of these influential artistic movements, all while maintaining a distinct connection to the world of comics. His artistic vision transcends mere visual representation, delving into the realm of narrative composition. Themes, rich with inspiration, serve as the scaffolding upon which he constructs intricate narrative paths, often intertwining stories with images. Renowned art critic Prof. Philippe Daverio characterizes Galli's artistic expression as "meta-real," a playful manipulation of reality that distorts visual perception while affirming a concept of continuity between opposing forces—between the above and the below, the inside and the outside.
The evolution of Galli's painting unfolds as a nuanced exploration of interiors and exteriors in both space and time. His canvases feature perspectives dramatically altered to convey the absence of traditional spatial and temporal constraints, offering a singular tableau where deformation begets multiple viewpoints. In his hands, the canvas becomes a storytelling medium, akin to comic strips, allowing viewers to transcend time with a single glance. Galli emerges as a modern storyteller, utilizing the language of painting to present a dynamic fusion of narratives seen through the lens of art.
Galli's artistic triumphs have found homes in numerous collections across Italy and beyond. His works grace the walls of private collectors in Switzerland, France, Belgium, Germany, England, Spain, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates.
