In "Alter Ego," Parrimuto portrays a face etched with the love and dedication to art, reflecting the struggles Sassu faced to establish himself. The blue eyes symbolize one of Sassu's preferred colors and the brilliance of the sea from his native land. A black tattoo represents his rebellion against fascism and his time in prison, while a heart-shaped tattoo, embellished with gold, signifies his boundless love for art.
This composition mirrors Parrimuto's approach, alternating vibrant colors with black and white to create an emotional interplay on the canvas, paving the way for new artistic horizons.
