Legba Watercolor and Gouache on Cotton Paper

In Haitian voodoo, Papa Legba serves as a mediator between man and God, entrusted with opening the pathways between realms. Pierpaolo Miccolis' fascination with religious and esoteric practices leads him to explore, internalize, and portray characters—both real and ideal—who play significant roles in humanity's spiritual history. This artwork, characterized by a strong vertical composition, idealizes Papa Legba as an urban shaman reminiscent of the Hermit in tarot symbolism.
