TERM AND CONDITIONS

BIRDS OF HOPE Original Paintings

Sunrise hope

Oil, acrylic and gold leaf on canvas, cm 36x46, 2019.SOLD
This is the first work of the wildlife series I made. It has a particular value to me. It is the expression of a profound change in my life, my daughter. Something changed in me when she was born, and together with turning my life upside down, it started in me a desire to create beautiful things, joyful, colourful, luminous. Somehow, I did it for her or about her.
It is also a clear expression of what I am looking for since I can remember: peace, serenity. That is why there is this sense of balance, of tranquillity, of companionship. As soon as I saw them, I immediately loved the delicate figures, the brightly plumaged, of these beautiful birds. The combination of warm and cold colours, especially blue-green with red-yellow, give me a sense of balance, of restorative equilibrium for the eyes and the soul.
I also love the fact I painted it with complete freedom and spontaneity, with the hope for a new sunrise of my whole existence.
“Hope is a thing with feathers” said Emily Dickinson, and it is something I truly felt and try to express in this work.

Sunrise hope II

Oil and gold leaf on canvas, cm 40x50, 2019 SOLD
This is the second painting on the theme of “Hope”. It is a representation of a beginning, with two little bluebirds about to fly into in the wind and the gold of a new sunrise. In traditional Iroquois cosmology, the call of the bluebird is believed to ward off the icy power of Sawiskera, the spirit of the winter. Its call caused Sawiskera to flee in fear and the ice to recede.
These birds fascinated me, for their weightless figures and their bright colours, with the union of deep blue and red-brown, cold and warm colours, winter and spring.

Awaiting spring £499

Oil, acrylic and gold leaf on canvas, 40x50 cm, 2019
Unframed but mounted on stretcher bar. To frame it please get in touch.

Three swallows are resting on a branch, waiting for the new glowing season.
These fascinating birds fly thousands of miles every year in an impressive migration, a well-known symbol of hope for the future.
I love these little creatures; they are part of my childhood memories. Every year they used to flock in thousands, and I used to observe them from my windows. Nesting, flying, hunting, or singing. I used to dream about their freedom, their marvellous joy. They really were a lively, characteristic part of the spring, the more beautiful time of the year in Rome.
The colours of the background remind of the encounter between night and sunrise, cold and warm, winter and spring, dark and light.

Sunrise hope III £499

Oil, acrylic and gold leaf on canvas, 40x50 cm, 2019
Unframed but mounted on stretcher bar. To frame it please get in touch.

Sunset rest £499

Oil, acrylic and copper leaf on wood, 40x40 cm, 2019
Unframed. To frame it please get in touch.

This work is a representation of a sunset at the end of the winter, when the evening is still very cold, but you start to feel the first little signs of the new season. A colour, a smell, a bird song, a feeling.
In traditional Iroquois cosmology, the call of the bluebird is believed to ward off the icy power of Sawiskera, the spirit of the winter. Its call caused Sawiskera to flee in fear and the ice to recede. Does not surprise that they have been used as a symbol of happiness. These tree little creatures really fascinated me, for their weightless figures, their bright colours with the union of deep blue and red-brown, cold and warm colours, winter and spring. The white of the background is also a reminder of the winter, the cold, softened by the warm light of the sunset that glows with the copper leaf.
I love the sense of balance they express, of tranquillity, of companionship, as well as a sense of peaceful rest.
