In “Encounter with the Universe”, Romanesco One represents a blindfolded businessman trying to connect with the colourful universe. Too focused on material things and money, he has lost the ability to feel the beauty and energy of nature around him. Now that he is blind, he is forced to meet himself. On the monochrome right side, the artist tried to paint his feelings and deep thoughts.

The bubble symbolizes his thoughts on life: from the fertilisation of the egg to the skull, he can see his whole life. In between, we can see the metamorphosis of a butterfly, love, trees, art, civilisation and other strong symbols such as birds in flight.

It is an encounter with himself and his subconscious.

The artist believes that his fresco can be interpreted as the beginning of all the other artworks in the velodrome: it all started with the universe. The character’s thoughts go around 360 degrees and encompass all the other artworks, which become a dream or a reflection on oneself of the blindfolded man.
