Lucky – A Moment of Alignment and Destiny
In 2022, on a quiet evening in Milan, something shifted. The sky was unusually clear. I was having an aperitivo with my parents when I looked up and saw four planets aligned in a rare celestial configuration. A friend mentioned that such an alignment happens only once every twenty years.
At that precise moment, I was preparing to move to New York. It was a transition filled with uncertainty, ambition, and hope. Seeing the planets align felt like a silent confirmation. I understood it not as coincidence, but as a sign. A reassurance that I was supported — by the universe, by timing, by destiny.
Lucky was born from that night.
The Symbolism of the Five Balloons
Planets as Personal Constellations
Although I initially saw four planets, in the painting there are five spherical forms — five balloons floating in equilibrium. The fifth represents presence beyond visibility: what cannot be seen but is always there.
The five shapes also symbolize my family — my parents, my sisters, and myself. Just like planets in alignment, we are separate bodies, each with our own orbit, yet deeply connected by invisible forces.
The balloons are not heavy. They do not collapse. They float — suspended between gravity and freedom. This balance mirrors the emotional state of someone about to leap into a new life chapter.
Circular Form and Cosmic Continuity
Lucky is a 150 cm diameter acrylic painting on canvas. Its circular format reinforces the idea of cycles, recurrence, and cosmic rhythm.
The circle has no beginning and no end. It reflects planetary motion, continuity, and the idea that what feels like chance may in fact be part of a larger pattern.
The chromatic composition evokes night skies, luminous atmospheres, and subtle emotional transitions. Rather than illustrating astronomy, the painting interprets alignment as a personal revelation.
Luck as Awareness, Not Accident
In contemporary culture, luck is often associated with randomness. In Lucky, it becomes awareness — the ability to recognize a moment of convergence.
The work does not celebrate fortune as material gain. It reflects gratitude. The awareness of being accompanied. The quiet certainty that timing matters.
This painting marks a turning point in my trajectory — a threshold between Milan and New York, between familiarity and expansion.
