Il selvatico è una figura mitologica diffusa nelle zone alpine italiane.
Primo abitatore delle alpi è pastore, agricoltore, apicoltore, esperto dell’arte casearia e profondo conoscitore dei segreti della natura. Di indole benevola è rimasto vittima degli scherzi degli uomini ai quali aveva insegnato come sopravvivere in montagna ed è sparito per sempre.
Il selvatico rappresenta la libertà, il ritorno alla natura e il rifiuto di convenzioni sociali che imbrigliano lo spirito arcaico dell’uomo, è anello di congiunzione tra natura e cultura.
Il disegno è una rielaborazione dell’incisione di Giovannino De Grassi tratta dal famoso taccuino (XIV sec.)
