Chionesu is a name of African origin that means something like 'protector'.
This work is a tribute to the animal world, and especially to the chimpanzee species, which are the primates most similar to human beings. Both species share a common ancestor from which we have evolved.
For me, it is important to keep in mind the gaze of these beings, who offer us a mirror of ourselves, in which to remember that we must protect each other. Chionesu looks at you serene and confident, from a glimpse of wisdom that goes beyond all our development and scientific knowledge. He knows the secret of life, that which we still search for without success as generations pass and disappear.
