Alberto Ballocca, 2019
'Socrates'
You will know no greater knowledge than that of knowing that you know nothing.
An enigmatic figure, Socrates authored no texts and is known mainly through the posthumous poems of classical writers, particularly his students Plato and Xenophon. Depictions of Socrates in art, literature, and popular cultures have made him a widely known figure in the Western philosophical tradition.

"Ancient cultures & natural patterns."
Inspired by ancient art, philosophies, Jungian theories and experimental music, Alberto’s works reflect a complex and playful layering technique. His art has been exhibited in New York, London, China, Greece and Paestum, since 2019, entering his first museum collection (Museum Mmac - Paestum) in 2022. For Alberto, Art is the only medium to share a truthful and impersonal stratum of society perceptions, allowing the viewers to bridge wisdom of antiquity with contemporary complexities. This blend of philosophical depth, historical inquiry and musical inspirations, makes Ballocca’s work stand out, offering a glimpse into a world that challenge and redefine the conventional boundaries of art, natural and historical perceptions.
