This oil pastel on paper is inspired by a photo I took on Marylebone High Street while I was living in London. I remember going there to visit Daunt Books, a bookstore that was recommended to me by an American friend and collector of my art who knows how much I love books and bookstore! So on my day off I took the bus from Stoke Newington (I love a bus ride: it gives me a lot of inspiration for my art and it is so interesting to see how the city changes from one area to another), it's really like a show to me. So when I arrived on Marylebone high street (a place I've never visited before) I took many pictures of the people on the street on what was a very sunny day (you can tell from the lovely light blue sky), and of the people in Daunt Books, as well. It really was an amazing "trip to the bookstore", it felt like a tiny vacation, as I was exploring a part of London that was new to me, and the staff in daunt Books was really friendly; visiting a bookstore feels like travelling in space and time and they have an amazing used books section upstairs which was a dream come true. Oil pastels are my favourite tools at the moment, and I started using them in London, so this series dedicated to the English city is even more significant to me. I like to celebrate its beauty, through its streets, its buildings and the people that animates it. Agerola, 15th June 2022

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.
