"Venezia Magica, la mattina( The magic Venice, the morning)" Painting

Letizia Zombory is a DUTCH citizen (born in Hungary in 1944 in a noble family,on father's side she has Italian ancestors) In 1977 she moved to The Netherlands and got the Dutch citizenship. I In 2009 at 65 years she choose for a different path in life a new life and career as a painter in Italy. In Italy she was discovered soon by galleries, art fairs,museums and Accademies. She was invited to participate in every artist happening. The media wrote highly about her and her artworks appeared in many magazines and catalogues. (In London too) ARTIST STATEMENT In my paintings I am always searching for the inner soul of a theme. A face, that cannot be seen. A soul, which can be beautiful or ugly. The image can be either a reality or surreal. The image has to belong to the theme and the hidden must be expressed, by any means necessary. I am always looking for the feelings of people, landscapes and inanimate objects. In my Venice series, I want to show the other face of this wonderful town, a face that has not been painted during the centuries. I am a little ironic and playful, but so is the town also, always different and incomprehensible. Everything revolves around the gondolas that have grown to a half human being. I also wanted to show my deep love and humility for a wonderful town. My Rome series tell the story about the Majestic capital of the old,the lost World with her glamorous palaces,great emperors and the common people. This tale is about the Eternal City that is nowadays just as colorful pulsating, majestic and eternal as it ever was
