About The Artwork
As an artist being forced home is not a big deal, as I always try to find time and space to be by myself and focus on my practice. The lockdown due to Covid 19 found me on the Amalfi Coast, in Italy where I have moved back after almost 3 years in London, so I took this opportunity of having more free time and quiet, to do something that I have planned to do for a long time: going through all the photographs I took in 3 years in London and transform them in oil pastels on paper. This artwork was inspired by an event entitled "Kickass Women Slay Together" at General Assembly London by Ladies, Wine & Design. "Ladies, Wine & Design - in their own words - was originally set up in New York by renowned graphic designer Jessica Walsh. Only a small percentage of creative directors are women or non-binary, and LW&D wants to help change this through mentorship circles, portfolio reviews, talks, and creative meet-ups. LW&D has now spread to chapters in over 250 cities around the world. The London chapter has a thriving community of creative women and is lead by Gloria Bertazzoni, Emilie Chen, Lisa Goff, Helen Friel and Mireia Lopez. We run one event per month with different formats and themes keeping a small, intimate set-up. LW&D offer a space for women from different backgrounds and all levels of experience to have a platform to upskill, gain confidence and exposure. We always try to conscientiously reflect the diversity of London's people with our mentors, speakers and special guests." That evening 8almost a year ago!) was very useful and inspiring and there will be many artworks to come, from what I saw and learned there. In this one I focus on Elizabeth Valleau, "creative technologist and multimedia artist and cyberpunk freak, former ECD at Grey New York, and at the time Augmented Reality Lead for Instagram out of London." Apart from her words of wisdom I was struck by her style which I payed homage in this artwork. The stunning black and white overcoat, her shoes, haircut and jewelry were amazing to draw. What was also great were the women in the audience that, with her mainly black and white and grey outfits, complete the scene perfectly. I consider myself a feminist and I always try to give more space to various kinds of beauty in my art (not only the classical female beauty driven by the "male gaze"), and this artwork is a token to strong, self-confident, inspiring women. I hope all the beauty and energy I felt at that event could travel from this drawing to your place.

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.
