According to Descartes we cannot know with certainty, if we rely only on the senses, that external reality really exists.
So the idea of solipsism is that we cannot prove that external things exist and that consequently the only reality we can claim to know is that of our ideas.
According to J. Locke, however, if our sensations are ive, that is, we receive them from the outside and therefore we are not creating them with our mind, it means that necessarily there must be something outside that is giving me those sensations.
The concordance between subjects who see the same object, albeit with slight differences, could prove the existence of external matter.
Having the eyes of the philosopher, therefore, means seeing things outside the prejudices that society imposes on us, to see how much complicated beauty there is under the alleged simplicity of this world.
As expressed by a good part of Eastern mysticism, the truth can only reside within us and never outside.
Solipsism, in its most positive sense, gives us new eyes, those of the solitary being, useful for looking for the hidden (often lost) treasures within us.

Salvatore Balice, painter and photographer, was born in Bari, capital of the Puglia region, in southern Italy. A self-taught artist, he has a background in architectural interior design.
All his works go beyond the mere phenomenal and earthly character of expression. They are the fruit of an individual research that he has been carrying out for more than twenty years, where the direct intuition of the thing itself, of its essence, is his only path. Like a hollow bamboo inside, it creates a space in itself to listen to what resonates without the crushing noise of the voice of the tumult, to no longer visit but to be visited, notably by silence... Salvatore Balice s' interested in the aura of the image, in the impermanence of the structure.
Born in 1967, he lives and works in Bari, Italy. It is in this city that he finds his inspiration and brings his artistic works to life, exploring the multiple dimensions of painting and photography. His self-taught journey allows him to express his personal vision of the world through unique compositions, where the sensation of the ephemeral and the search for essence mingle harmoniously.
