The works of Josep Santilari and Pere Santilari dialogue with the historical look of a selection of allegorical pieces from the gallery of Artur Ramon Art<\/strong>; based on human figures, animals or everyday objects, they represent an abstract idea or rhetorical procedure as an allegory of one of the seven deadly sins. Its complexity gives rise to multiple interpretations<\/strong>, but all revolve around the problem of destiny, the struggle for freedom, appearance and reality, free will. In conclusion, the inconsistency of human life and symbolic transcendence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alas! Ah, wretched me! Ah, wretched me!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heaven, here lying all forlorn,<\/em>
I desire from thee to know,<\/em>
Since thou thus dost treat me so,<\/em>
Why have I provoked thy scorn<\/em>
By the crime of being born?\u2014<\/em>
Though for being born I feel<\/em>
Heaven with me must harshly deal,<\/em>
Since man\u2019s greatest crime on earth<\/em>
Is the fatal fact of birth \u2014<\/em>
Sin supreme without appeal.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pedro Calder\u00f3n de la Barca, Life Is a Dream<\/em> (1635). Translation by Denis Florence MacCarthy in Calderon\u2019s Dramas<\/em>, London 1873.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dramatist and baroque poet of the Spanish Golden Age shows the philosophical drama of human existence as \u201clife is a dream, \/ and dreams themselves are dreams\u201d. The approach of Calder\u00f3n de la Barca revolves around the fact that human existence is nothing more than a deception, just an illusion. Under these conditions, human beings often have no freedom to choose their destiny, so they must fight until they get it…<\/strong> That is the uncertainty of human life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calder\u00f3n presumes that \u201cman\u2019s greatest crime is being born\u201d, since historically the fact of birth has been considered a crime: we come into the world carrying original sin, because we inherit the disobedience to God from our first parents in Paradise. However, the current needs of the system have rendered the biblical mandate obsolete, and \u201ccomplete\u201d human beings participate fully in society and express everything that concerns their nature. Some impulses have to be repressed in the interest of society and others for the sake of individual development; however, natural growth and self-realization of the individual are the factors that make life good and turn society into a harmonious coexistence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n
