Ladies













One of the games I used to like as a little girl was dressing up like a lady. What makes a lady? She certainly is taller than a girl – all the ladies we knew: our mothers, our grandmothers, our neighbours. So a girl will need long legs or at least high heels and long dresses (the short ones came a lot later when we wanted to look like women, which are a different breed from ladies) in order to be a lady. Then, in order to look like a lady, a girl needs a hat – she has to climb on a chair (or even two chairs on top of each other) to reach the shelf where her mother keeps the most fluffy hat she owns (she's never been seen wearing it, so it must be really precious). Then she only need a mirror or, even better, some friends to admire her attire.

These are the works I worked on lately. I'm discovering the magic of women in painting!
They are made with acrylic on wood.
Dimensions: 55/120 cm

Happy Easter to all of you and a big hug to all of my followers!

Exercise of imagination











I've played with Photoshop this weekend on some images that I took this November at a scrap depot. And I wanted to share with you the results. This isn't my favorite activity but the results really help me dive deeper into my world.

I just made an exercise of imagination and composition that made me an enormous pleasure.

I love the colors of these pictures!

The objects behind the camera hide a lot of stories and secrets.

Angel

This is my last week's artwork made for one of my school projects. I'm studying masters this year and the next year!
I'm trying all kind of different techniques! I love to experiment!
This is a mixed media work!
I've used a print, colored pencils and acrylic paint.
The dimensions of this artwork is 70/100 cm and it was made on painting panel.
I've decided to use this painting technique to prepare a solo exhibition sometime this year.

Black tulips










I'm leaving behind a strange year of my life hoping that the year ahead will be a better one.

I wish you all a fantastic year!

This is my last work of 2009! A mixed media one!
I've used acrylic on cardboard, lace and relief paste.
It belongs also to the tales series.
