With this artwork I wanted to represent the city that gave me birth and that I always loved deeply: Venice. In order to pay homage to it, I painted its most important and historical part, Piazza San Marco. The painting has very similar colors to what the square looks like in reality: brown bell tower defined by its bricks; white and beige buildings; dark turquoise lagoon water. But I did not only represent Venice, I also gave to it the oriental taste that Istanbul transmitted me, by defining its sky with a round geometric style, painted in gold, white and turquoise color. As in all my artworks, the love for oriental art and western culture is represented by the choice of decorations, which are inspired by the ornaments of majolica and fabrics.

Luigi Ballarin has begun his artistic career in the 90s in his homeland, Venice; in 2000 he moved to Rome and, after an invitation for a personal exhibition, he fell in love with Istanbul and started to work there. Luigi's art is a union between East and West and summarizes in iconic images the suggestions of the minor arts, which travelled the paths of trade and travelers, and merged the different traditions: the decorations of majolica, enamels of goldsmiths, embroideries of precious fabrics. He currently lives and works in the three cities, creating a union between different cultures with a unique artistic language and painting techniques, characterized by material backgrounds, which evoke mosaics, enamels, ceramic decorations, carpets. Luigi continually offers us the two souls: that of birth and that of election. There is nothing more Venetian in this. Venice gives birth to you and then pushes you out to seek the other from you, only to find him next door when you return home, in a spiral of encounter and re-encounter.
