Julie orsini shakher This body of work is done in silverpoint-a medium that is historical and permanent. Orsini Shakher’s goal is to bring an ancient Renaissance form of drawing to the contemporary platform. It is a series based on the magical quintessence of nature which is the crucible of equilibrium. There is only thirty-five percent of the wilderness left on our ailing planet today. Without nature where would we stand; separated from a stream of water, a sunset, the call of the Mayan. Orsini Shakher wants the viewer to be enthralled by the beauty and be forced to succumb to the mindfulness of the scene. A romantic scene urging us to reflect and view the balance of ecosystems and its beautiful diversity of the natural world entwined with humanity. “My wish is for the viewer to reflect upon the harmony of our coexistence”. Orsini Shakher’s work was judged best in show.
