About Essenza
The purpose of life is to live.
Essenza is a labor of love. The essence of Art in my eyes. And Art, sometimes, can haunt you. Can consume you.
When you pour yourself into something, it's hard to let it go.
Born from a sketch made more than 3 years ago, this was intended to be my genesis on Art Blocks. It took me another year and a half, countless refinements, Rinascita, more refinements, and a rewrite from scratch to finally be ready to share this with the rest of the world.
It's personal, and it's intense. A fragment of my story. The end of an era, and hopefully, the beginning of a new one.
No matter how hard it can be. If you truly love something, you need to learn how to set it free.

Stefano Contiero
Stefano Contiero is a self-taught artist born in Bassano del Grappa (IT). His Italian, logical father and his Dominican, floral mother are his principal influences since childhood. As a result of growing up between two cultures, he understands privilege at a young age and develops a fragmented sense of belonging that characterizes him even today. With an early interest in technology and design, after building a career in tech, his passions meet in Generative Art, the perfect union between code and visual arts. After fully tapping into his creativity, Stefano identifies himself as an artist. In addition to digital artworks, he nowadays also creates paintings and artworks with mixed media.
Algorithmic edition of 444
25% of proceeds above 0.25 Ξ will be donated to various charity focusing on solving climate change and increasing diversity in generative art.
