About exhibition
AQUA
We will also take part in this one-day art festival with a project dedicated to the water.
AQUA wants to emphasize individual and collective responsibility for the role and use
of this element for our planet and its importance for humans, fauna and flora. For our
society, water management is one of the greatest challenges and one of the priority
objectives of the 21st century.
The exhibition was premiere in Dubai in July. Now the artworks from different countries
can be exhibited in Rome, to draw the public’s attention to the notion of
interdependence because where water is threatened, so all forms of life on Earth are
too.
As a vital element, it is essential for the protection of biodiversity and ecosystems.
Natural resource par excellence, water is at the centre of considerations on the
consequences of climate change.

About exhibition
ECOLOGY AS A FEELING
While the climate exchange rages on, we turn our attention to nature and various forms
of life, and we begin thinking deeply about the feelings triggered in humans when they
come into contact with the elements, animals, and plants, etc.

The artist’s emotions and visions can be overwhelming. So, the art can help us address
current issues from a new angle in this delicate balance through feelings, like love or
optimism but also anger when something you love is damaged and values such as
ethics.
It will be very important to see your work on this thinking and the relationship between
man-nature.

Studio Painting Today

Aug 31, 2022

I’ve been painting in my studio today, as usual.

Of course there are days when I work at different places, traveling somewhere I always keep my sketchbook with me. I sometimes make quick croquis on my phone, I’ve even made some sketches on paper napkins in a restaurant. Those don’t need to be elaborate sketches, but seeing a painting scene I have to put down at least a line or two, it serves as a sort of spelling word when I am back in the studio. Just a glimpse on my sketch and I remember the scene, colors, volumes. Which is just contrary to the photographs that were not taken by me, no matter how good they are, they won’t work for me in the sense of evolving into the painting scenery.

Second best help, alongside my own sketches, are photos taken by me. I usually take many almost similar pics and later, working at home, decide which one to use.

But besides taking sketches as references for my future painting at my studio I don’t paint outdoors.

Yet in a sense, I do bring outdoors to my studio, like I did today. Which simply means I go for a walk early in the morning and think about painting. According to the mood of the day, I pick flowers, twigs, some grasses. Making a bouquet from all that greenery, picking the vase and setting a still life in my studio, this altogether is already a part of my painting process. For when the floral still life is set to paint, it means I already know what I’d love to achieve. Which then isn’t always easy, sometimes much harder as anticipated. But contrary to the sketch of mine that can rest in my sketchbook ages just to give me all info upon just one glimpse of it, the still life I work on has to be painted as fast as possible, not because often the plants won’t survive, but mostly as the colors change so much with the days that after a gap of several days without painting I really hardly catch up to finish the work, my mood, the colors, the feelings change too much….

I’ve picked some yellow flowers today. Rudbeckias and solidago yellows are just glowing in the garden these days, but then I’ve found some magenta pink roses and those colors together were stunning. With some greenish late hydrangea blossoms the bouquet was ready to paint. I took a white tea jug with a blue stripe and when this impromptu still life with some lemons was set on the table by the window in my studio I added a red napkin, to get all these colors in an equilibrium of some sort. From here on the painting process was like a sort of meditation, painting has evolved by itself, the hardest part of the process has been keeping all the colors strong, vibrant and in accordance with each other. I’ve really loved the color of the light today, bright but with some clouds that have worked as a filter, accentuating the colors as only late August sun can do…….

I have been painting in my studio today………

New Canvas: Garden Terrace

Aug 24, 2022

Today I’ve finished a new canvas- garden terrace. It is a contemporary landscape in just all the colors of late summer on the terrace in our garden. Small garden statue of a girl is silently watching colorful display of all the bushes, trees and flowers in the warm sun rays. How often have I sited here, quietly observing the clouds flying over the horizont and watching the butterflies and black birds, each year remembering the colors and noises from a year ago….and always dreaming about the summer that is going to come one day………

“Let me tell you the meaning of the sacred and alluring garden that blooms in the heart of the desert and produces the food of life. The garden for which you are currently heading is nowhere and everywhere except in the camps. It is another name for the only place where you belong, Michaels, where you do not feel homeless. It is off every map, no road leads to it that is merely a road, and only you know the way.”
― J M Coetzee, Life And Times Of Michael K

“In themselves pictures are beyond words, beyond concepts, beyond thought, they invoke the presence of the world on the world’s terms, which also means that everything that has been thought and written in this book stops being valid the moment your gaze meets the canvas.”
― Karl Ove Knausgård, Så mye lengsel på så liten flate. En bok om Edvard Munchs bilder
