ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The painting is part of a series entitled SHELLS. The shell is a container within which life is transformed. Snowflake is the emblem of the woman considered delicate and weak: like a snowflake, which rolls and turns into a powerful avalanche, she immerses herself in life and becomes stronger every day through awareness. I used hemp to represent nature, of which the woman is the bearer; the paper, white and crisp to represent the snow, the black color, the sum of all colors, to represent the infinite possibilities contained in the mother's egg. “discorso serio con l’altra me Smettila di pensare a me come a un filo d’erba, piegato dal vento, che non riesce a rialzarsi. Smettila di pensare a me come a una piuma leggera che non può far del male, neanche volendo. Smettila di pensare a me come a un palloncino da tenere al guinzaglio, lontano da spine e da spilli. Smettila di pensare a me come a un fiocco di neve che al primo raggio di sole rischia di sciogliersi. Perché un fiocco di neve, cadendo un giorno sulla cima di un monte, potrebbe decidere di tuffarsi nel vuoto, senza alcun preavviso, e poi iniziare a far capriole, divertendosi un mondo, e trasformandosi in pochi secondi in una palla gigante che travolge ogni cosa. Quindi, se non ti spiace, fatti da parte.”

Raffaella Brusaglino, born in 1975, lives and works in Turin, Italy, as a freelance artist. She is is best known for her paintings where the characters, at the center of the scene, are blended with geometric backgrounds. Sharp and tapered profiles of faces and hands stand out on golden surfaces recalling the Byzantine preciousness. The subjects call to mind an imaginary Middle Age or the 15th century Florentine painting. Well-defined details follow indefinite, fringed masses, rough surfaces obtained with thick scratched matter, deposited with the spatula and spontaneous gestures. The texture comes from a wide range of media, including metallic foil, plaster, paper and threads. Brusaglino's art is both figurative and abstract, with traits of informal and surrealism. Her large canvases lead to a poetic, oneiric and magical dimension where any marking becomes memory, narration and metaphor according to a mysterious language; the absence of perspective clues creates a displacement effect that suggests multiple meanings. Raffaella Brusaglino's work focuses on a-temporal and universal themes regarding the human condition, such as communication,love,roots,self-awareness. She represents silent dialogues, between humans and, sometimes, meta-historic animals, emerging from a strong scenic impact background.
