"The spirituality of this path that tends to represent perfection and beauty, is none other than the daily constancy of work. The initiatory and esoteric character of manual labour confirms the fascination of rites of passage: Stefano Curto works at his art as though he were celebrating a continual rebirth." Stefano Cecchetto that continues living in us every day, takes on the form, in the artist’s work, of a return to our origins, not only on a biological level but, more importantly, on a cosmic one."

"One day, between the many divinity’s that make up the life of indian people, I saw a very small image of Jesus. That vision shook me because somehow I felt an affinity. That God was also there to protect among the many"
