Lucia Balzano

Live and work in Olbia. Dedicated to sculpture since the mid 80's, research that I began in my adolescent years. My artistic trajectory has always been characterized by a uncorrectable discontinuity motivated by my strong sensitivity for all of life's events. Life, as is, a thin and fragile thread....a thread that is often a reoccurring theme in my work. Cotton thread, oscillates in a precarious equilibrium between dream and reality; Copper thread, drawing daring plots on the canvass of life; Iron thread, creates tangled webs that projects a grid of shadows on silent faces that observe passing time. Double thread however is what ties me to my painting, photography and video art. In some my work, I explore daily life evolving at an accelerated pace that relegates man in a melancholy solitude, a sort of human saddening, that appears in the work of many contemporary artists. This way, through a train or taxi window I observe the daily frenetic behavior and try to stare at the vision of a moment that quickly disappears...Lucia Balzano
