Art and alchemy

Alchemy means to trasform lead into gold, humble and raw substance into noble stone, as well as the man of the darkness into the divine man, so that the human being has been able to develop recearches that had as aim to obtain either material or spiritual wealth. In this last acceptation Alchimy could inspire even art, which often borrowed from it symbols and images to describe the spiritual ascent of man. Artists’ purpose is to create the guide thread among Art,images and symbols of Alchemy, that from the far past re-emerges in a sort of alchemic/artistic pilgrimage of the Third Millennium.
