<blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><span>When I met Habib and his art, it was like looking out of a window onto the world from which I could closely observe its beauty, often mistreated in its daily life. The attention with which he highlights the details and the technique used, which requires specific skills and knowledge, identify him in an exemplary way, allowing the viewer to enter his cosmos. A world full of tenderness and sensitivity</span> <span>.</span> &quot; <span>Simona Gervasio, curator of the &quot;Anime Fiorite&quot; exhibition</span></p></blockquote>
