AMERICAN LYRIC SINGING COMPETITION
ORFEO AND HIS SCULPTOR
“Orfeo is born, an artist par excellence who embodies the eternal values of art. A small sculpture that stands erect, proud, with its legs firmly on the ground, motionless and with the lyre in front of its chest, as if it were an armor that protects the vital organs of “feeling”. Orpheus blocking a road, as if it were a protection barrier, because the only way we have to defend ourselves is with beauty and culture.”
