With this tribute to Valentine’s Day, Cersosimo makes a criticism of the excessive consumerism associated with the lover’s holiday, who seem to have forgotten the true meaning of love. Therefore, the artist responds by honoring the patron saint of romantic love, who, in legend helped a maiden with dowries for marriage.
Against the conventions that juxtapose material good with love, 14 Febbraio is actually dedicated to the purity of lovers, who, in the artist’s interpretation, are enveloped in an embrace in which physical and spiritual love live in one dimension.
The work has been exhibited at Art Innsbruck 2004, Arte Fiera di Bologna 2002, Gent Lineart 2001 and Arte Fiera di Bologna 2001.
