The last weeks have been of a lot of organization, planning and preparation of the studio to receive people for the open studios of Bushwick and the sudden workshop organized thanks to the sponsorship from the #CityArtistCorps @nyfacurrent @NYCulture

I am grateful how everything had magically unfolded. After months of non-stop working in the studio, the possibility of having a workshop coinciding with the Bushwick open studios changed the rhythm of the summer and I had the opportunity to look at the work done.

Looking through folders and portfolios I found this cut out transparency. The watermarks are from a clear plastic that I use to protect them until they are ready to be framed.

In reality, the frame of these works is part of an ongoing discussion: how and where.

Some of them, when framed, lose a certain fluidity, especially they lose the shadows and the color changes that they produce when they are crossed by light during the day unless they are located near a source of natural light.

I am excited to share that I am a part of #CityArtistCorps!

I submitted a proposal for an immersive workshop at the Studio, to explore, experience and discuss What makes a work of art.

Thanks to @nyfacurrent, @NYCulture, @madein_ny and @queenstheatre for the support!

How much time really painting?

I love Marden, I saw a picture of a new work ... it would be great to speak from where we arrived, the need to fill the space, the fascination with lines to the exhaustion to try to remember or read what we forgot. Painting as a map or book with the hidden meaning to the most profound questions.
