All this is entrusted to the intertwining and the overlapping of the snaking lines, which have the function of representing the "numbers" Pythagoreans (that is, the system of relationship of everything with everything).

Therefore, Alessandro Testa's painting is also a quantum interpretation of the Universe. Reality, in fact, is not made up of "things" or opaque and stupid matter. Reality arises from vibrations in relation to each other. The vibrations, then, are regulated by logical processes and, therefore, by a Mind.

God exists precisely because the universe exists. But, God is not made of matter. God is pure creative energy that lies within everything. Finally, the artist tries to stop in a metaphor that the Aristotelian "first cause" of the All is hoped to be effective and understandable.

Consequently, there is no difference between the prayer and the painting of Alessandro Testa. Testa paints to depict the eternal tangle of a thought. The final result, his pictorial material, is that which the philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling would have called "rapprocised thought".

The sub-atomic particle, the "quantum", from which the creative energy of our artist starts is the concept of life that he has.
