Dario Molinaro in mostra presso la Galleria Hudgraf di kiev (Ucraina)

Dario Molinaro è presente alla collettiva "Art project of people and sparrows" presso la galleria Hudgraf di Kiev in Ucraina.

Twelve years ago, when I first touched the piano keys, I decided to become a famous pianist. I had everything needed to make my dream come true – long thin fingers, an open mind and too much energy. For 7 years my friends were sharps, flats, sixths and seconds. Because of some changes in life, I failed to become a pianist and now I have nothing to do with these black and white keys.

One year ago I decided to write a story of how I failed to become a pianist. I based it on different psychological experiments and trips abroad. It tells about the life of a guy named King of the Keys in four different cities – New York, Miami, Paris and Kiev. My literary experiment (novel) got the name «Fantaisie Impromptu». Thanks to the story I've discovered the formula of unrealized dream — I failed to become a pianist because of the… sparrows.

Half a year ago I asked artists from all over the world to use my sparrow-formula and describe their unrealized dreams, plans, or something they’ve lost in their lives. The idea was shared by 54 artists from USA, Japan, France, Italy, Portugal, Georgia, South Africa, Poland, Iran, UK, Brazil.

One month ago I invited Ukrainian celebrities to participate in my project – Yuri Khustochka, Rosava, Lubko Deresh, Irena Karpa, Anton Friedland, Vasia Frolova and Irina Merleni. They told me about their unrealized dreams and we have drawn their sparrows together with Ukrainian painters.

And so, on the 14th of November, in «Hudgraf» gallery, we will present you my «Art-project of people and sparrows». You will have a chance to see different stories about unrealized dreams and the way those people handled it, how their lives look like now.

But this is not the end. The world is still alive and some dreams are still getting not realized. The goal of the project is to publish my sparrow story with all these paintings. Only after that you will know why people fail to become pianists and why the sparrows are to be blamed.
