Energetic Art

Bring the world into you and your world into the world.

The Seven Thousand: interactive, but above all magical, works of art.

This collection of paintings holds a very important place in my heart.

These works have multiple meanings and uses, all very profound, spiritual and energetically powerful; every space, every color, every shape contained in them, is a “portal”, an energetic “gate” to be used in everyday life.

The Seven Thousand are divided into two categories, those drawn freehand, one by one, or those made from a collage of photographic images, drawings or illustrations created or researched ad hoc; in both cases they are works that require a lot of time and attention, all the images are created or selected meticulously in hours and hours of work and combined or juxtaposed according to shapes, dimensions, colors, messages of which they are bearers: for these reasons the energies deposited in these paintings are truly infinite.

In these works, first of all, there is me and all the Seven Thousand that dwell within me.
Seven thousand because it is a magic number, chosen specifically as a representative, only because, in reality, the true number is infinite. 

The Seven Thousand are a hymn to the All is One, they best express the concept of biodiversity, which can (indeed must) coexist in mutual respect, manifesting their Nature for what it is, in every space and in every time, as simply part of the Whole.

Each of us, like every living being in the Universe, is like a small piece of a puzzle, with its own singular, individual and personal energy, different from all the others, but connected to the others, to form, in union, the global energetic vision of all that is in Being. Each piece is unique, necessary and fundamental to complete the picture.

We are many, all in one.  All ANIMA-LI.
The Seven Thousand: Talking Paintings.

Since I was little, within my feelings, there were various “diversities of me”, many mes that manifested themselves freely, immediately called the Seven Thousand (I have always joked about this thing, defining myself not bipolar but multipolar). It seems strange but it is like this for each of us; maybe not everyone has the sensitivity to notice it, but within our being there is a kaleidoscopic multitude of different us that, united, make us what we are in our totality and perceived reality. Sometimes, without realizing it, we can bring out the personality traits of a relative, that we have inherited with DNA; sometimes we have the same behaviors of an ancestor that maybe we have not even known; sometimes the “spirit” of a victim, executioner, Red Cross nurse or superhero comes out, or we unconsciously draw from the eternal morphic field of personalities, we are really very complex.

Seven thousand meanings

The Seven Thousand represent all the different personalities and states of mind within us, those already known and experienced, but also all those that we have yet to understand or encounter, living new experiences and evolving on our path on this earth.

The Seven Thousand also represent all the human diversity on this planet (the value of diversity), we are many, all different, each precious for his own unique vital contribution, in an infinite circuit of energy exchange, possible in the only existing dimension of time: the motion of the infinite continuous present (“Life serves life” Cit.).

These faces also represent all the people we have met and known, because each of them has left a “piece” of themselves inside us.

These figures represent all the versions of us that coexist simultaneously in various parallel Universes.

The Seven Thousand represent all our ancestors, not only those we have known in this life but also all the ancestors who have passed down to us DNA, blood, geographic location, culture and family karma, carrying on our genealogy throughout the ages.

The Seven Thousand represent all future humanity, all individuals yet to be born who will shape the new world, on this planet and in all existing Multiverses.

The Seven Thousand represent all the masks that we unconsciously wear, each different, for each role, each worn with the aim of making us better in the eyes of the world, to make us accepted, to hide our weakest parts, our wounds or our fears. But the mask is nothing more than the face of one of the Seven Thousand that lives inside us: that little piece of us that has suffered, that has been afraid, that has felt abandoned, misunderstood, simply unloved or that has adopted a family or personal karma to be released and atoned for. We find these masks there, all in a painting, to represent all those parts that need to be discovered, accepted, but above all, by us, seen and loved.

The Seven Thousand depict the path of our Soul, its journey from body to body, from experience to experience with the sole purpose of evolving towards the union and immensity of the eternal Light.

The Seven Thousand represent all the roles we wear, to please ourselves or others more.

The Seven Thousand are all Warriors. Great fighters, with values, with a sense of honor, of right and wrong. Energetic heroes who in the present, in the future and in the infinite dimension, defend and proclaim the Higher Good. The Seven Thousand are also many “imaginary friends“, always with you; you can talk to them and count on their presence; as for children, there is no limit to the imagination, and the channels to use far exceed our 5 senses: expand yourselfWith a painting of the Seven Thousand you will never be alone.

The Seven Thousand are many wise advisors always at your disposal, as they draw directly from the knowledge of the matrix.

The Seven Thousand are the representation of everything you would have liked to be, but also of what you really are. They are what you are ashamed to show or bring out, but that lies latent inside you, just as they indicate the most proud and proud part of yourself. The Seven Thousand are that intimate part of you that you hide from the world, or that comes out only when you are drunk or in situations where the mind gives up control.

The Seven Thousand , beyond the subject of the single painting, attract and amaze for the variety of shapes and colors and for the pure message contained in them: it is necessary to awaken the inner child that is inside each of us and accept all the facets of our being.

The ugly imperfections, the mistakes or the defects want to further emphasize the concept that we must accept ourselves for what we are, not to punish ourselves harshly, as we are used to doing, to welcome ourselves and others, the beautiful days as well as the rainy ones, to understand that in the Universe there is not only us.

The characters’ expressions, sometimes funny, frowning, angry or imaginative, speak to us, send us messages dedicated only to us, tell us to remember who we are, where we really come from, to simply unite with the Whole, accepting it, integrating it, doing it with that touch of purity and lightness typical of children. The multi-image collages demonstrate that there are multiple ways to be and manifest the same thing , because in the end, we are really all the same, many, all in one!

The Seven Thousand are a symbol of equality, of parity, of union. There is no beauty, there is no ugliness. The refined is next to the rough, the elegant is next to the naked, the bald is next to the long-haired: the diversities complete each other because each is fundamental for what he is and what he represents. Even the individual subjects turned in various styles within a collage in the same painting, emphasize the multiplicity of expression of our being.

The Seven Thousand are bearers of energy, full of colors, they vibrate with a certain frequency, associated with the energy of which they are an expression.

The Seven Thousand are you, they are me, they are us.

The Seven Thousand are not just paintings, they are a message to be spread.

The Seven Thousand are a state of mind, a lifestyle.

The Seven Thousand are not just paintings, they can stay and carry their message wherever they are placed: they can become a blanket, a cup, a t-shirt, a cushion, a magnet, etc.

The Seven Thousand: talking, interactive, but above all magical works: having one of the Seven Thousand is like having a dedicated message available every time you look at it. 

Often, by chance, I happen to notice a funny face, which at that moment stands out from all the others, as if it had called me and that expression of its makes me smile and be in a good mood right away; it really doesn’t take much to reconnect with the right energies. On the contrary, if I happen to notice a sad, angry or frowning face, I know that that state of mind will pass, that it is only a moment, Anicca, with its impermanence teaches us that we are only here passing through, therefore it is important to honor by living fully every single moment of our experience on this earth. Sometimes we notice a face that reminds us of a loved one, so we take advantage of it to make a call or send them a message. Do you need help, advice, an opinion? Look at the painting and wait, the answer will come for you.

The Seven Thousand: Energetic Art.

Every expression that stands out to our eye, brings with it a message, a reflection, a help, each time different and dedicated only to you: it is not only what you see but above all what you feel and what the image arouses in you at that precise moment. Having a painting of the Seven Thousand nearby is receiving the right message for us at that moment, with just a glance: everything is a channel to draw from, just open your Soul.

The Seven Thousand are first of all a message to be spread , it is Energetic Art!

Follow Settemila on Instagram, new characters will always appear, bearers of messages to listen to, food for thought, jokes and any message that is channeled or requested by your unconscious.

There are seven thousand ways in which these works communicate, it's up to you to discover them.

A painting of the Seven Thousand can be a gift to oneself, the expressed will to begin a journey to discover the multitude of beings that dwell within each of us; it can also be a prize for oneself, gratifying us because, despite everything that life has reserved for us, jumping from a smile to a tear, we are still here, sometimes light-hearted, sometimes frowning, but always present in the present (it is called “present” because every single second of life is a gift). It can be a gift for others , an invitation, a game, a form of energy exchange.

A painting of the Seven Thousand is also a fantastic, original and profound gift, it looks good hanging in any part of the house or on a table or desk, whether it is framed, with a visible picture frame, whether it is a poster or something else, it is truly a precious object to see and above all to use.

Being a hymn to life and people, it can be an original corporate gift given to your employees, that something that remains, to which you can add a dedication “Thanks to the precious contribution of all of you, the company has grown over time, thank you“. For Valentine’s Day it can be a way to say “I love you in all the facets of your being“. It can be a thank you to your customers if hung in a shop or in a commercial activity; a tribute to your patients if displayed in a doctor’s waiting room; a modern and original piece of furniture and hung in the hall of a restaurant, a club, but also in the living room of your home; in the bedroom it is a game to play with your children. But above all a painting of the Seven Thousand is Energetic Art! When you give a painting of the Seven Thousand you give a part of yourself, you give a message as well as an object: you give Love.

A painting by the Seven Thousand is a hymn to life and unity wherever it is placed and wherever there are people or energies circulate.

Lately it seems that human beings have forgotten their primary task on this earth, the simple manifestation of themselves within a community, without family, educational or social conditioning, without envy, greed, hatred or shortcomings, simply bringing their contribution to a complex, delicate, magnificent and above all infinite ecosystem. It is important to return to simply being what we are, in our multitude of forms, without fears, shame, blocks or needs, created or induced, but which are not part of our true nature.

It is possible to return to unity and it is also easy if we learn to put the heart before the ego, love before the mind and we start treating other living beings, whether they are people, animals, plants, or our own planet that hosts us, as if they were really us. All this is not only possible, but it already happens, visible and energetically verifiable, in Nature, among animal species, but also within our own organism that we call body: different cells collaborate, become nails, hair, skin… within our organism everything works together, in unison, each doing and becoming what it is, without envy or shortcomings, the One immersed in the Whole , like an orchestra that plays a sublime symphony, that of Life.

Precisely in this historical period, more than ever, the most “enlightened” or “awakened” feel the need to rediscover the true essence of themselves, to have a well-declared place in the world, to be recognized, seen, accepted and loved for who they are, beyond everything, beyond sex, skin color, religion, some ideological or political alignment or whatever you put it. An urgent need if we want to save ourselves and the entire planet: All is One.

In the Seven Thousand each figure has its own space, which coexists alongside other spaces like in a harmonious chessboard. Each space has a color and its own personal energy frequency. Each face, each energetic expression of Being, has a Soul, a story, a way of expressing itself, of communicating its own self (the many various selves) to the entire world.

There is no right or wrong, everything simply is what it is.

Each work of the Seven Thousand is different: new or existing characters alternate, jumping from one painting to another, changing position, color or expression; each time the energy is renewed to expose the myriad dimensions and facets of Being.


Obviously, representing the All that is One, the Seven Thousand could not only depict human faces, but all the beings of the living world, which, in turn, has its own Seven Thousand within it. If only we stopped for a second to think about the myriads of living species, their diversity in color, attitudes, vital form and above all energy, we would not be surprised by the concept of cosmic union that unites us. The subjects of the paintings of the Seven Thousand can therefore be infinite, as infinite are the ways of expressing the Being.


The Seven Thousand: the origins.

The first work of the Seven Thousand dates back to a very, very long time ago, born solely as an expression of myself. Only after a few years did the second one come out. At the time the energy was in ferment, but not yet ready to blossom and present itself to the whole world; it was only an intimate, interior and personal movement.

Accepting that there were many of us was not easy, much less easy to make peace, integrate and recognize all those parts of me that I loved less, that I was ashamed of or afraid of. In these paintings also appear the faces of many great people from the past, beings who have made history, always present and available to share their knowledge with me. It took years of work on myself and to tell the truth it is still a very open construction site, and always will be, for everyone: this construction site is us and our life in search and discovery of ourselves.

Both of these paintings are part of my private collection.


Several years had to pass before the third Seven Thousand was released , actually the first of this new collection; many attempts had been made before, but the works always remained unfinished or abandoned, but the call to spread the message became stronger and stronger and so the collection of the Seven Thousand in 2024 came back to life and took flight.

The first real work of this collection ( I Settemila N°01_2024 ) was printed on brushed aluminum sheet in the dimensions of 130×90 cm. A truly titanic work, in terms of time, research and realization. The painting features the beauty of 1,200 faces: a world within a world waiting to be discovered.

We can have fun recognizing famous or important people, historical or from all the worlds of being, from music, to art, to science, to the universe of cartoons, comics or films. We can let ourselves be guided by the face that suddenly catches our eye and try to understand what message that face or that expression wants to communicate to us ( nothing happens by chance ). We can invoke the strength or wisdom of the characters present, looking at the faces of real people who lived in the past, who made history, who learned and whose energy was not wasted, is still present in the ether to be seized, channeled and used by us.


Alongside the digital works of the Seven Thousand, there are the manual ones, made with colors and brushes on canvas: whether it is tempera or acrylic, the color gives life to a lot of different characters, each one carrying its own energetic message. The need arose to introduce into the Seven Thousand (and therefore into ourselves) an element that can help us save our Soul: the awakening of our inner child.
