"The Christ of Mantegna by Magda Milano, reflects the state of existence in which the cold, hopeless feeling of death revealed through the Paduan artist’s brush strokes is expressed also in the feeling of loss of experienced by the artist from Puglia, thrown into this world without even knowing why..." -- Vito Caiati (Italian essayist and curator)

Big Things on the Beach is a public art trust in Portobello, a seaside suburb close to the city centre of Edinburgh, Scotland. It was formed by a group of residents in 2003 to explore the potential of the seafront as a site for engagement with public artworks by both emerging and established artists.
