Artist: Painter oil on canvas, Sculptor, also a bit Poet and Philosopher... 
 I am Sergio Rapetti, I was born in 1944 in Acqui Terme (AL).  I have passed the 55 years of work as an employee and as an artist in specific artistic activity as painter oil on canvas and sculptor; I am among about 5.500 Italian painters, sculptors or in both disciplines born from the beginning of 1900 to today.  
Autodidact. 
I have begun my  artistic jobs of  painting of oil on canvas in 1984. My works mainly space between the figurative one and the impressionistic abstract.  
Since the nineties, I give myself up to the sculpture on wood also, my utensils are gouges and hammer, besides I write poetries.  I desire to remember that every work of sculpture is carved on an only wood  piece and can be also demanded singly in bronze or in marble and in the desired measure; I also remember that all my paintings are with thick paint or less, are exclusively performed on canvas with painting to oil without addition of other substances and with the same painting they are always signed with the date of the year in the right inferior angle. 
Some works of paintings, of sculptures and of poetries have a great philosophical meaning.

         Per una Pace Mondiale 
Per una pace mondiale, il nero rappresenta i regimi totalitari di destra,  hanno fatto cose buone e cose cattive, il rosso rappresenta  i regimi totalitari di sinistra, hanno fatto cose buone e cose cattive, il bianco rappresenta le nostre democrazie occidentali, esse sono rappresentate in bianco in quanto si ritengono pure, ma anche loro debbono inginocchiarsi davanti al Signore in quanto le ingiustizie continuano ad esserci e si vedono ogni giorno.                                                       
Solo la liberazione di quell'egoismo che pare governi le nostre menti e il rispetto delle leggi del Signore, che sono Amore, Libertà e Giustizia potrà portare alla pace mondiale.
                           For Worldwide Peace  
For worldwide peace, the black represents totalitarian right-wing regimes,  they have done both good things and bad things, the red represents totalitarian left-wing regimes,  they too have done both good things and bad things, the white represents our Western democracies, which are painted in white since they consider themselves  pure, but even they have to kneel down in front of the Lord  since injustices continue to exist and can be seen every single day.                 
Only freedom from that selfishness which appears to govern our minds and respect for the rules of our Lord, which are Love, Liberty and Justice, can pave the way to worldwide peace.
