Forget the social media stars and their fleeting fame. The real hero of our time is Urania, the muse of astronomy and astrology, daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne, brought to Earth by the artist Carlo Zoli.
Her mind holds the vast knowledge of the cosmos, whispering secrets of distant stars and galaxies. Her eyes reflect the infinity of the sky, and her forms, sinuous and voluptuous, are enhanced by delicately shimmering details that the artist chooses to emphasize her divine nature. Like a contemporary astrophysicist, she uses the power of inspiration to face life and remind all of humanity of its place among the stars.
