The young boy, seating over a strong centaur, is an image of a classic ideal of the male body, with an idealized image of male youth, almost adolescent. Italian painter , sculptor and advertising graphic designer appreciated and esteemed, active in Turin starting from late 1960’s. His first steps in 1950-es was done with famous artists such as Emilio Scanavino and Lucio Fontana. He signed several successful advertising campaigns: from Fiat to the one for Gallo Rice t, to the posters for the pret-a-porter fashion collections of FACIS. In the 1980’s he became a painter, and devoted to an openly and decidedly homoerotic art, always in the wake of the "joie de vivre" and through reinterpretations of the Dionysian and Olympic themes of classical art. Silombria was also among the animators of the F. U. O. R. I., the movement for gay rights created by Angelo Pezzana, and of the Turin Radical Party, and a creator of the first homosexual cinema review: "From Sodom to Hollywood".
