"Olafur Eliasson at Tate Modern" is an oil pastel on paper made from a photo I took when I went to see this exhibition, in London. I love to take photos or make drawings of remarkable persons that catch my eyes and I think this beautiful boy saw me taking the picture with my small camera. His style was so peculiar, he is even carrying a Vivienne Westwood purse. The exhibition in itself was wonderful so this artwork is even more dear to me for this reason: not only it celebrates beauty in everyday life through this boy stunning outfit, but also the beauty and generosity of all the artists. I hope this artwork will transport you to London, a city with some of the most wonderful museums in the world and where you quite don't know if you have to look at the art on the walls or at the museum-goers! I love to depict people living their everyday life and enhance the small things that make them special in my eyes. I like to depict men especially as I think their qualities are not celebrated enough (or at least not in the ways that I like!) in the History of art. Now that I live in Italy again I am going through all the photographs I took during the three years I've been living in London and made oil pastel on paper inspired by them. Making this series has been great for me as it gave me the chance to feel all the emotions I felt while I was in London, a city that I love. This, like all the artworks from this series, has been treated with two to three layers of fixing spray; nonetheless I advise to promptly frame it with a glass too, to protect it from the dust. The artwork will be shipped in a box, I recommend to take it as soon as possible to a framer to provide a frame with a glass, as the oil pastel needs to be protected from the dust.

Italy
"Mary Cinque is an Italian painter, graphic designer and blogger working and living in the Amalfi Coast. Her works – joyful, bright, colourful painting and drawings – are inspired by this place, as well as her heritage, background and travels. Mary spent her childhood between Italy and Ethiopia. Before moving back to the Amalfi Coast in 2019, she has lived in Naples and Milan, where she attended academies of fine art; and Philadelphia, New York and London where she improved her artistic skills and style. Alongside making art, she works as an illustrator and graphic designer, collaborating with selected brands, working on artistic commissions such as illustrations, labels and showroom design. Cinque’s art develops themes connected with what makes us essentially humans: our habitat – the buildings, the streets, the cities – our bodies, what we eat and how we socialise. Art, in Mary’s paintings, becomes a powerful instrument of philosophical investigation which reveals who we really are by questioning our habits, observing those characteristic traits we share as a species, often without realising it. The artist looks at human beings from a different perspective, making interesting and significant what can seem normal or banal to us in our everyday life: the buildings that populate our cities, the streets we walk, people sitting across our table at a café, strangers on the bus. In this nutshell interview by Giulia Corti, Mary Cinque explores some of the most relevant aspects of her art and reflects on how it offers an intriguing and informative perspective about the way we live as human animals. Mary, your art is colourful and vivid, it mixes human and urban subjects by making use of various techniques (oil painting; pastel drawing, markers, “digital” drawing, print-making etc.) and materials (canvasses, magazine pages, an I-pad screen). How do you choose the means with which to develop an artwork and how do the different materials and techniques influence what you want to convey, if they do? Different subjects call for different techniques. Buildings and urbanscape are always acrylic on canvas, while I prefer to depict people using a quicker, immediate approach, like the one that I can get with markers and oil pastels or digital painting. By looking at the main themes of your art, it is possible to notice what seems to be a tension. On one hand, you portrayed the stillness and artificiality of urban landscapes and buildings (e.g.
