About The Artwork
This is a composition of particular silk velvet of dark and luminescent flowers and I painted and make collage on it, also with geographical maps, covered with tissue paper, to inagine a memory, a desire. I really love all type of maps. The maps are so suggestive to me, I would never go to a place without having studied its geographical map, but not for fear of getting lost, but to know the place thoroughly. The artwork is mounted on wooden frame. An attacker is fastened and ready to hang. This series is about Charles Baudelaire, Flowers of Evil; this purple silk velvet with strange dark flowers, inspired my imagination about bad flowers. The lyric is only mentioned at times, so unplugged, in a disconnected way, it can summon the lyric suggestion. This is The Trip.. Lyric original Le Voyage ... L'Univers Ah! que le monde est grand à la clarté des lampes! Aux yeux du souvenir que le monde est petit! ... la toupie et la boule Dans leur valse et leurs bonds; meme dans nos sommeils La Curiosité nous tourmente et nous roule, Singulière fortune où le but se déplace, Et, nétant nulle part, peut etre n'importe où! Chaque ilot signalé par l'homme de vigie Est un Eldorado promis par le Destin; L'Imagination ... Ne trouve qu'un récif aux clartés du matin. ... Les plus riches cités, les plus grands paysages, Jamais ne contenaient l'attrait mystérieux De ceux que le hasard fait avec les nuages, Et toujours le désir nous rendait soucieux! ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Il Viaggio L'Universo... Ah!...grande il mondo alla luce delle lampade! Agli occhi del ricordo com'è piccolo! -- ...la trottola e la palla.. walzer e i loro salti, anche nei nostri sonni. La Curiosità ci tormenta e ci fa girare ... Singolare sorte in cui la meta si sposta, E, non essendo in nessun luogo, può Trovarsi dovunque, non importa! --- ...Ogni isola avvistata dalla vedetta E' un Eldorado promesso dal Destino; L'Immaginazione Non trova che uno scoglio alle luci del mattino --- Le ricche città, i paesaggi più vasti, Non avevano mai l'incanto misterioso, Di quelli che il caso fa con le nuvole, ... E sempre il desiderio ci rendeva inquieti! ... Charles Baudelaire.

Mara lives and works in Italy in the province of Modena. She began to paint with determination from 1980 to 1995, continuing to study piano; doing some exhibits, personal and collective. She then resumed continuously from 2008. She didn't follow a formal artistic education , but her natural eclectic spirit, led her to express herself as spans a range of media including: installations of leaves-painted sculptures; words on silk panels; ceramic pots; pillow-talking objects; large oil paintings. Her colors are bright, bold, colorful and sunny; her style ranges from expressionism-abstract to figurative-revisited, maintaining a constant freedom of expression over time. She has exhibited in Italy and since 2018 has some collectors in the U.S. Extended history Over the years, I still continue to research and experiment with the same spirit of the beginnings, and now also with a deeper psychic awareness, about creativity: 'Keeping the creative current clear' (C.P.Estés). The subject matter of my work is often poetry and literature, that inspire me to represent, in different ways, some poetic compositions; but also songs, words, quotations, everything which captures me in one casual moment. My themes are: love, nature, feelings, sensations, thoughts. It leads me to a certain libertarian spirit, that aside from reflecting my indole, it born from the passion for Surrealism, understood as a philosophy of life: "poetry, art, love... the surrealist game..., the principle of pleasure on reality..." (Arturo Schwarz, Milano 2009). Reading A. Schwarz, I noticed that the artists I had always loved, all had a common thread leading to Surrealism. Apollinaire, J. Mirò, G.Moreau, Kandinsky, Chagall, Duchamp, they are all among the precursors of the Surrealism. I express myself in different ways: as painting lotus leaves with oil colour; or painting on large canvas portraits; representing a surrealistic poetry with dream images, a bit abstract and a bit ricognizable shape. I also like silk and make many collages with it, in mixed media; or even to create real 'talking cushions' in silk, like art objects that hide their sense in a literary story, to be discovered, inside them, just like ' surrealistic game'. I also like inks and water colour, used in informal style, but always representing a theme, a title, a wrote word, one formal element at least.
