The Messenger of Day and Night

Original work by Michele Praticò (1951–2022), an artist whose work has been exhibited internationally in Vienna, Madrid, and New York. Work available – Artist’s archive

In The Messenger of Day and Night, Michele Praticò creates an essential, symbolic scene defined by bold colors and primal forms. At the center, a divided frame evokes the eternal cycle of time: the rising sun and the watchful moon. Beside it, a stylized zoomorphic figure—part fantastical creature, part archer—steps forward like an ancient herald, guardian of the passage between light and darkness.

The work blends irony, instinct, and spirituality, distilling the artist’s vision into a few expressive signs that narrate the perpetual dance of opposites shaping existence.
