“Teste Di Profilo” series shows disillusioned people, old boys who do not believe in prefabricated ideologies.

These are the heads of losers from the point of view of the winners, and from the point of view of believers; these are the heads of disbelievers, only because these heads do not believe in their God but have one of their own.

These are the Heads of people who go against the tide and have rejected an available model, although it is impossible to completely escape the “Matrix”.

These are the heads of tired people, sometimes angry or pissed off, heads of rejected people who are never happy, these heads had been told a tale that has crumbled over time.

“Teste di Profilo” series is born from the aesthetic legacy of graffiti, punk, and comics, worlds in which Pane grew up, the heads could be images, flashes, and memories of people seen and known by Pane, this is a work linked to memory and to the creative path of Pane.
