Uno, nessuno, tutti. | Paolo Troilo | TEDxTaranto
Siamo parte di un tutto più grande, un intreccio di nomi, identità e ruoli che spesso ci fanno dimenticare la nostra radice comune. In questo talk, Paolo Troilo invita a guardarsi dentro e a riconoscersi come esseri biologicamente e profondamente connessi, al di là delle etichette che ci separano. Un invito semplice ma potente: concedersi, ogni tanto, un momento di solitudine per ritrovare quella radice condivisa — e da lì imparare a comprendere meglio noi stessi e gli altri. Paolo Troilo, nato a Taranto nel 1972 e da oltre venticinque anni residente a Milano, è l’unico artista al mondo a realizzare opere figurative vicine all’iperrealismo dipingendo esclusivamente con le dita. Dopo una lunga carriera nell’advertising, culminata con il riconoscimento come Miglior Direttore Creativo Italiano (ADCI Grand Prix 2017), dal 2004 si dedica interamente all’arte, sviluppando una tecnica personale che lo ha portato a esporre a livello internazionale. Dopo il successo alla Biennale di Venezia del 2011 ha scelto l’indipendenza artistica, collaborando con importanti realtà globali. Tra il 2021 e il 2022 è stato selezionato da Lamborghini e Ducati come simbolo di eccellenza italiana.
