They are Muses, they know why they manifest themselves
and converse with those who contemplate them.
"SLOW ART"
For me, true luxury is taking the time to give shape to visions, researching new materials to make them and creating an alchemical union between painting and embroidery.
Each work has its own dimension because I never decide, until the end of the work, how much space my icons will move.
I start by drawing them in pencil on a coarse textured pure linen restoration canvas. I work this support with vinyl glues and I paint it with acrylic colours. The highlights are made by spreading a mixture of plaster and glue with a brush.
When I achieve a satisfying result, I cut out the figures and sew them on velvet with various embroidery stitches.
They have a double life, on the front you will be able to see the final result, on the back the essential lines given by the seams.
The subsequent interventions arise spontaneously from work to work, based on the almost sculptural and three-dimensional effect.
Hair often offers me this possibility, I work it, twist it, go over it with even more resistant glues.
Linen is not the only fabric present there are also silks, so light ... that sometimes they adorn the nakedness, others ... they become a surface of water that moves when a breath of air visits the room. The light, on the other hand, dances with the iridescent fabrics that reflect it according to its variations.
Only at the end do I cut the excess fabric, so it will be ready to be canvassed.
When we experience love, we are transported to a world of pure ecstasy, where sweetness and ardor blend in a symphony.
And in the intensity of that lively fervor, we immerse ourselves in the essence of the true greatness of love.
So let the ardor awaken and grow, through the music that confesses to the heart.
May the fire of emotions burn inside you, and take you on a journey of sweetness that has no end.
Water is energy, movement, weightlessness, limits, space, continuous flow beyond the subjective perception of time, my Venus arises from this element.
A Venus who becomes a Muse for the female world who captures its eternal and unassailable emancipation, who deeply shakes the noblest human yearnings and becomes the archetype of an eternal femininity.
The dance has an archaic language
It creates forms and contents that manifest the energy that inhabits us.
The image reflected in the water vibrates, it elevates the water to a medium between the gross reality of the form and the more subtle one of the essence.
If Narcissus had understood the real message, he would have understood the sense of impertinence that is typical of gross reality.
Grasping the nature of the phenomena that lie beyond the superficiality of the image is what it is. This is the deepest secret of Beauty, a portal between what appears and what is.
