This exhibition tells the story of love – the most beautiful and exciting feeling that has inspired a myriad of poets.

I can hardly add anything here, as all human beings love without it being something new; that is how each artist tells the story of love

Many of the countless stories of love have turned into legends: legends of faithfulness, of love… legends of infidelity and treachery, legends of hatred and vengeance…legends both ancient and contemporary.

One of them is about two wild tribes engaged in eternal bad blood, hatred and rivalry, a desire for supremacy and revenge…the battle between centaurs and amazons.

This is a legend of war and we are talking about love. Why? Where can you see love here?

This legend would seem to be the least suitable to describe love if it wasn’t for a verse, a song that has survived through time. This is the song of the centaur.

Some specialists doubt its authenticity. And yet, this song makes us believe that the essence of the irreconcilable enmity between centaurs and amazons is love. Authentic or not – this is the song of the centaur.
