Il cerchio di Milarepa (Milarepa ’s Circle) belongs to a series of twelve canvases, conceived as a replica of another group of paintings, The Fourteen Stations ,and was created during a period spent in Capri. The subject was inspired by East Asian tradition, and the suggestion of a figure of a Buddhist monk who devotes his entire existence to the search for enlightenment is borne out in the dense material surface, formed from many pictorial layers. In the stratification of images without any specific interest, but with only a joy in encountering each other, we can interpret the multiple and extenuating trials to which the hermit was subjected during his life on earth.
