Probably Leonardo, when he was developing his drawings by doing research on the body and organs of man, will have thought, among the many machines to be built, of this possibility of making machines that are copies of man himself. And if he didn’t do it I like to think that he could have done it and I imagined the drawings that he and other artists of the past could have created regarding this theme. I searched in my mind for possible paths, not only with regard to man but to the entire category of robots, that is, machines capable of replicating human activities or solving problems or helping man himself in his tasks. So I extended my thinking beyond the human body, but also to birds or horses. Then I thought that other mechanisms could also have been created in previous centuries. Cars, helicopters, planes. I know, we need to stop and analyze one point at a time but we artists cannot think narrowly and you will forgive me for this. Like everyone, no one is perfect.
