From the famous assemblages of Picasso, there is a direct way to Meta Morfosiʼs zodiac objects created in 1994. As with Picasso, the pieces of modern civilization become the base of the artistic creation ideas. "All commodities created by people are unconsciously derived from natural models. I try now to recreate the significance connections, by retransforming everyday objects in living beings," said the artist born in Tirol, at the foot of the "Wild Emperor", about his metaphoric creations

Virgo (24.8.-23.9.). The Virgo people are realistic, earth-bound, and intelligent. Everything he does, he does properly.
