The roots of her homeland are in her painting... / Toni La Spina

The roots of her homeland are in her painting. A strong, indissoluble, ancestral embrace. The origins are prominent, both in the drawing and in the colours. The force of life transmitted by persuasive, intense, sophisticated images. Watering the path of life of peoples, so different and yet so similar and travelling along it with love, in an attempt to unite it. The union of peoples with a universal thread: painting – in the prince of its techniques: oil on canvas. The pride of attempting to contribute to contact and brotherhood with ones own emotions. The language of works of art: life at the centre of the universe. The artist is man and as such favoured by God: he becomes a messenger and an instrument like an initiate, a chosen one.

The three works of art.

Tlacuilo:
“the delicate joint of the woman’s fingers. The body of a woman who is the very casket of the miracle of life. The contrasting images of science and faith: little icons of colour similar to “‘houses” of the zodiac mix with coils and double-helixes that lead back to the concept of science, as an integral part, of the divine design”.

Iguana:

“The intense gaze of a woman forming a bridge between the sacred and the profane. Soft contours between the hair and the body of the iguana symbolising the eternal union between God and man. The sacred, represented by the animal of ancient tradition, lives and dominates in the mind and ends up by forming a meaningful part of it”.


Cimarron:
“the strength of thought, the steadfastness of reason and the pride of ideas. These are the concepts that explode from the vision of the work that brings to mind young passions that are never subdued by years of maturity. The gaze projected towards the future, with the faith of someone who has made wisdom her philosophy of life”.

Thank you Libra.. I'll look for it in Italy, I'm forgetting my English, it's a good opportunity to restart to read it.
