In this regard, Nietzsche said that "human understanding is nothing more than a gimmick, a network of metaphors stitched together of our superficial impressions of the world. In their ignorance, people mistakenly exchanged these familiar metaphors for truth. We believe we know something of the same things when we talk about trees, colors, snow and flowers, but do not own nothing but metaphors for things - metaphors which correspond in any way subject to the original. "Davide breaks up, in fact, these metaphors. His landscapes, devoid of any reference tangible, vibrating inside the canvas as if they were flashbacks of primordial visions. His works? small open windows of lost worlds.
