Satiart was born as a cabinet of curiosities, a dialogue between words and images, an encounter between books and works of art .

My name is Stefano De Luca, I want to share my world, made of search for beauty, love for culture and originality .

WHY SATIART?

"Sati" in the ancient Indian language Pāli means awareness : I chose this word for its strength and because awareness is a concept that has different nuances, one of which for me manifests itself in the deepening of art and literature.

If we come into conscious contact with beauty, if we try to immerse ourselves in every emotion that comes from observing the works art and from reading books , the hidden characteristics of the works can reveal many aspects of our spirit.

I find this value in the concept of "slow looking", a technique developed by the museum Tate of London, which suggests how to observe the works of art to fully enjoy their beauty, staying focused on the work for at least 10 minutes, avoiding the anxiety of immediately moving on to the next work. For me, "slow looking" is not only a way of approaching art but also a form of meditation and self-knowledge, important values ​​for my activity with Satiart.

When I created Satiart, I asked myself what was the message I wanted to convey by sharing my love for art and books with others. The answer is beauty and uniqueness, which are the intrinsic characteristics of each person, but also of each composition that I propose .

I choose the works of art for their beauty , sometimes unconventional, and I print them on the pages of books that have a story; each page is unique and there will never be another one that is alike . The result is a design that is always different, thoughtful and unrepeatable.

Thanks to the activity I started with Satiart, I reflected on the fact that sometimes we happen to go against the tide. I went from digital to material, while much of the rest of the world is going in the opposite direction.

Yet between my work and my passions there are many points in common. Indeed, the analysis of data and complex projects requires patience, precision and research, as happens for the choice of a particular book and the work of art that I select for assembly in the SatiArt collections: nothing is random, the result goes beyond the aesthetic aspect because the two elements are linked by a meaning, becoming something completely new and original..

THE ROOM OF WONDERS

Beauty sometimes hides in little-known works and objects: Satiart was also born as Wunderkammer, a "room of wonders", a place for those who love to discover unusual and original objects, beautiful to look at, to buy for themselves or to give, one casket to browse.

But to find beauty it also takes the courage to go beyond the characteristics that we consider "normal". I therefore decided to include in the SatiArt collections particular images and works of art that can also be considered strange, but which precisely for this reason reveal a unique and surprising charm.
