(Artistic) Boundaries

Mixed media Mixed media is a blast!. I imagine that it emerged when an artist, exploring the core medium to (personal) limits, felt compelled to reach for another to break out of limiting boundaries…and, in doing so, oppened up limitless possibilities. Today, there are no boundaries. Any combination of artistic media (and objects) is accepted […]

Pattern drawing Zentangle popped-up, unexpectedly, while we were engulfed in creating neurographics for the ‘Connections‘ project.

There is nothing permanent; one would think that impermanence is the […]

Blue(s)

Acrylic paintings We experience a sensory overload of colors daily without giving much thought about their ‘meaning’. The color blue represents both the sky and the sea and is associated with open spaces, freedom, intuition, imagination, inspiration, and sensitivity. Blue is depth, trust, loyalty, sincerity, wisdom, confidence, stability, faith, and intelligence. Blue triggers the body […]

Entanglement

Acrylic pouring and drawing-equestrian This is a story that combines physics, neuroscience, horse-riding and art inspirations. Well, it really is a story of our love and empathy for animals and their selfless way of giving back, passionately told to us by Marzia. “I have dedicated my professional life to a pursuit of a better understanding […]
