Internationally acclaimed Roman artist, Hitnes, has recently completed his groundbreaking urban artwork in Ostia, which has left a lasting impact on the landscape and the community, particularly the students of the region. Situated at the ITC “Paolo Toscanelli” branch on Via Capo Sperone, this mural curated by Mirko Pierri of the a.DNA project association marks Hitnes’ debut in the Ostian territory, showcasing his unparalleled talent and vision.

The mural has not only visually transformed the surroundings but has also sparked curiosity and dialogue among the students and locals alike. Mirko Pierri emphasizes the importance of engaging the community, stating, “School is a public place and should not be experienced counting the hours until the last bell to escape, but it can be a space open to everyone, creating aggregation during and after lesson hours.” Hitnes’ artwork has succeeded in accomplishing just that, fostering a sense of connection and conversation within the community.

Mirroring the evolutionary journey, Hitnes’ mural narrates a compelling story that unfolds across the walls of the Toscanelli Institute. From the primordial sea to the emergence of mankind and their subsequent impact on the environment, the mural encapsulates the essence of evolution intertwined with human intervention. Through thought-provoking imagery, Hitnes prompts viewers to reflect on humanity’s relationship with nature and our role in shaping the world around us.

The project, part of the larger initiative “E.C.O.” (Ecology Sharing Opportunities for the sea of Rome), underscores the importance of art in raising awareness about environmental issues. By winning the “Lazio Street Art 2022” call for proposals and securing funding from the Lazio Region, Hitnes’ mural stands as a testament to the power of art in addressing societal challenges. Collaborating with local associations and schools, the project not only enriches the cultural landscape but also fosters community engagement and dialogue.

Hitnes’ mural serves as a beacon of inspiration, urging us to reconsider our relationship with the environment and the world we inhabit. As the narrative unfolds, from the depths of the sea to the emergence of life on land, Hitnes reminds us of our interconnectedness with nature and the need for sustainable coexistence. In a world grappling with environmental degradation, Hitnes’ artwork serves as a poignant reminder of our responsibility to protect and preserve the planet for future generations.

With its thought-provoking imagery and profound symbolism, Hitnes’ mural in Ostia transcends mere aesthetics, leaving an indelible mark on the community and igniting conversations about our collective future. As we contemplate the mural’s message, let us heed its call to action and strive towards a more harmonious relationship with the environment, guided by empathy, compassion, and a commitment to sustainability.

Hitnes’ mural is not just a work of art; it is a testament to the transformative power of creativity and a catalyst for change in Ostia and beyond.
