ACT ∞ - Scene 1: Wakeful memories. Wakeful Sky. Enter light. Look up.

RGB SKY is being created so spectators can activate their memories to imagine.

Phaos. I have foreseen this place as a multiple atmosphere. We are meant to be perceived as an understanding of light, we are captivated by energy to engage strength and desire. Different color models have been developed to generate a diverse range of wavelengths perceptions. There is one in particular, which is an additive process and by mixing its three wavelengths you will create white light (Phaos). Color is light, a new beginning. We are creating a space, a RGB SKY, a blank space to imagine.

Mneme. It is imperative to undertake the task of creation in a world already determined and established by some. Utopian cities have already been imagined such as "La città del sole" by Tommaso Campanella, “Utopia" by Thomas Moore, "Magnesia" and "Kallipolis" by Plato. Virtual cities, virtual realities alive as ideas. But maybe it is necessary to take ideas, not from a utopian city, but from a place intended for remembrance, such as the memory theatre by Venetian Giulio Camillo. Frances Yates in her "Art of memory," shows Giulio Camillo as the one who started the process to imagine a place to gather memories. He intended a materialization of human memory and make it accessible as collective knowledge, where a theatre would act as an information source such as internet now does. Each level of the theatre presented different archetypical images. The spectators become performers by being placed in the stage to be aware of every single image surrounding them. RGB SKY is being created in order to activate your imagination and stimulate your memory by looking at other people's perspective reflected in their created images. Spectators become performers.

Phaos. I will remember Camillo. Six colors, six levels the theatre will have to present the images I await to place. Spectators become performers.

Mneme. If color is light and light always brings new beginnings, the use of light will bring new spaces. Color is a quality of light is a given personality. Remember also how the theater itself will be a manifestation of memory, a recollection of images to be sensed and fantasized. Aristotle stated that phantasia (imagination) is always in motion activated by a sensation. Sight is the main sense, the name phantasia is derived from phaos (light). Imagination is what occurs when we sense an image.

Phaos. Wakefulness as a desire, color as quality of light. White as wakefulness, the starting point of it all. From it, a space is created. I look for calmness for I have seen too much turmoil. Is meant as a calm atmosphere to start placing images to activate memories. Spectators will be surrounded by a potential source for phantasia.

Mneme. Have you finished creating that space? A Mneme space?

Phaos. The theatre is almost complete but it is empty. The only rule for the RGB SKY, is to discover as many memories as possible. Utopian cities have been created to escape their author's realities, Plato, Campanella, Moore they all intended to build a new one. RGB SKY is conceived as a theatre, where spectators can interact with colors to imagine.

Mneme. Do you think utopias were imagined to be considered as places to carry our knowledge, Moore, Plato and Campanella were just trying to organize our thoughts by creating a peaceful city to contain our memories? Giulio Camillo's memory theatre was conceived to imagine, right?

Phaos. I call the artists. RGB SKY is being built and it is empty of memory. Let the light of colors fill your images. Let us discover common ideas, common feelings. Which images would you choose to make others imagine? RGB Sky, a place for a wakeful imagination.

Exit, pursued by a bear. Phaos is waiting Phantasia. Stay wakeful.

A7ICE

A7ICE's works are bewitching. Between the instinctive and spontaneous brushstrokes, the artist's irrepressible energy explodes. Everything moves harmoniously, as if to the rhythm of music. A7ICE has the ability to create very strong connections between the work and its audience. The mix of figurative and abstract is absolutely successful because it makes everyone free to interpret subjectively and attribute different perspectives. Her art is free of all constraints. A7ICE starts from the observation of nature to completely break through the screens of reality and immerse herself in imaginative atmospheres. She paints without thinking because she lets colours, shapes and lines speak for her. The final image is the result of a remarkable sensitivity that allows her to delve into the human soul and create a unique relationship with the viewer's inner soul. Real forms that come to life from the artist's creative mind.

AIKA

Ballard first speaks of "inner space" in 1962 in an article-manifesto published for the science fiction magazine New Worlds : "The greatest developments of the immediate future will take place not on the Moon or Mars," Ballard writes, "but on Earth, and it is inner space (inner), and not outer space (outer) that must be explored." Aika's artworks, with their spatiotemporal incongruities, can surely also be read as an exploration of the timeless dimension of the unconscious world, dominated by the deep time logic of primal drives. Surrealism becomes a weapon, dying art becomes alive, and nature becomes an aesthetic agony.

AIKA

The medium of video and video animation allows the artist to express her own primal drive, which then shifts from being solely her own and her soul's, becoming not only an investigation of interiority but a dazzling explosion of the most common and silent fantasies and complexities of reason that goes beyond the rational and is layered with the fantastic that exists within each of us The proposing of pure psychic automatism, free thinking without personal will or rational codifications, a true flow of mental and spiritual energy, the 'Idea as a moving image, capable of shaping the world.

Through the Unconscious Mind

White Architect

Andre Setiawan

In 500 A.D. Heraclitus wrote, "That which is opposed is reconciled, from things in opposition arises the most beautiful harmony, and everything is generated through contention." Reality is in perpetual becoming: day follows night, birth is succeeded by death, satiety by hunger, and so on. And this supreme principle governs that things are subject to change and transformation, it is the 'essence of things themselves, thus a condition of their stability and not a reason for their supposed ineffability. Reality is impossible without producing contradictions, just as a river flows ceaselessly and receives ever new waters without ceasing to be a river.

Andre Setiawan

There exists in the works of art that are presented today a unity of opposites that allows all things to be what they are and at the same time also other than themselves, in a continuous becoming. "In the same rivers we descend and do not descend, we are and we are not," Heraclitus says again, and here in these animations we see time flowing, in the form of light, a time moving with uncontrollable speed of its own Yet under these superhuman forces, the rest, remains. That which remains subject and thus undergoes these changes and this flowing, remains only so, true to itself. It remains united. Whether the flowing takes place inside or outside of one's self, little changes, it takes place and is shown to us, with a cloud of thoughts and brain inquiries or with the incessant exchange of day and night, images, indeed, in motion.

Andreas Kountoureshis

“While drawing I discover what I really want to say”. (Dario

Fo)

Greek artist Andreas Kountoureshis has a diverse repertoire of works ranging from philosophical, rhetorical and metaphysical themes to everyday life, bringing out inner thought through a light that illuminates his paintings. Each work aims to interrogate the viewer, confronts him or her with a canvas full of choice where the totality of elements comes into balance. In his magnificent work, consisting of three separate canvases, he uses the shape of an infinite circle that encloses the forms of sun, earth, light, nature and space-time giving a sense of eternity. A space that does not end on the surface of the canvas but goes beyond it, is released beyond the canvas and reaches the heart of the viewer. The sun radiates us, gives us strength and makes us feel a vibrant part of a world full of energy. This great work also represents a transposition of love for nature onto the canvas; the artist has great sensitivity in the creative act that translates into respect and reverence for nature. The painting reflects the respect we must have for nature because of which everything in our world is life. By using the form of an infinite circle, the elements of sun, light, earth, nature and space-time do not end in the canvas but persist in eternity. Therefore, the two canvases complement each other and find their meaning; they have a profound meaning individually but also together. Thus, the continuous process by which life is created is expressed, a life that continues and must be preserved for our survival on earth. From these natural elements, Andreas Kountoureshis takes inspiration and fits into the space between light, earth and nature that give her the imagination and concentration to create her canvases and move her hand among the colors.

Eye for An I

Inside us live lights and shadows They are part of what we are, what we do not want to be and what we could be They represent the struggle between what we recognise, what we avoid, what we admit and what we ignore or do not want to see. And in this small, but challenging, balance we try to spend our days without either side dominating our lives. Facts often tell us that it is difficult to achieve the balance between what we know and what we do not admit. To live with ourselves, we have to be equipped with a good dose of acceptance of reality: we are made up of light and shadows, which is why there will be parts of ourselves that we do not want to accept. Accepting our shadows can involve pain, but also evolution, change and self-acceptance. There are not only lights, nor do they always illuminate our lives. The lights sometimes dazzle us and the shadows can give us the answers. In the artistic sphere, the philosophical question of the dichotomy between light and shadow shifts to a more physical, more tangible plane, but one with the same meaning. The three-dimensionality, the realism present in most paintings, is closely associated with the conscious use of light and shadow. The combination of these two elements allows artists to experiment with new images and to bring originality to their works. Speaking of light and shadow, it is impossible not to mention Caravaggio: in his paintings, light and shadow become the undisputed protagonists, helping him to convey a specific message The 'illuminated' elements encapsulate the true theme of the painting, while the figures left in shadow automatically take a back seat The observer is always led to wonder where the beam of light that illuminates the scene comes from, almost as if it were a 'divine light'. In Angel's works, it is possible to catch a surprising glimpse of a similar behaviour towards light and shadows. Her works are characterised by clusters of flesh, soft patches of skin that conceal toned muscles and physiognomies beneath them. The light illuminates the raised parts; the soft, delicate shadow gives a smoky, uncertain effect to the entire composition. One gets the impression that these human elements have just emerged from a murky black lake. Motionless, they come to the surface to be discovered in all their expressive power. The flesh, skin and bones that make up these bodies are imbued with shadow and light at the same time. The shadow is delicate, smoky, almost warm, while the light is cold, sharp and revealing. The combination of these two elements reveals the highly expressive outcome of Angel's works. Works that smell of Caravaggesque technique and Baconian memories reveal themselves to our gaze, silent and taciturn as if motionless in time and space.

Anne Hurst

Anne Hurst has been studying many forms of Art over the decades. With her love of composition, movement and bright colours, her art is recognizable as abstract expressionism. At “RGB SKY” exhibition hosted by M.A.D.S. Art Gallery, Anne presents three acrylics on canvas: “Complicated”, “Sky High” and “Tortuous”. Colors ranging from blue, to pink to light grey, to mingle with each other in an intense swirl. The areas of color relate while retaining their individuality, communicating and recalling each other. It is the explosion of instinct, of the moment, of the instant when Anne stands in front of the canvas and pours her emotions, thoughts, but also strength and energy onto it. is a powerful and intense narrative that slowly transports us into its articulated meanderings, and we the viewers cannot help but be guided on this mysterious journey of which Anne is the creator, unaware of what the destination will be, but sure that the journey will be a powerful emotion.

Antonietta Grimaldi

Antonietta Grimaldi has no exploratory limits, her imagination is rich, her art prolific in a riot of colors. Grimaldi represents the infinitude of her being that is a universe to explore, the emotions of human beings are as infinite as the number of her creations, her works are photographic snapshots of the unconscious, forever capturing unrepeatable emotions. Photographs of the human soul as in Gold, the first of the five works at the international art exhibition RGB SKY hosted by the international art gallery M.A.D.S. Here the artist depicts human feelings in a perfect synthesis, in a multiple dialogic relationship that takes shape, first, at a median point located between the artist's idea and the realization of the painting; second, between the finished work and the presentation to the public; and finally, between the work and the viewer's interpretive channel. A jungle that consists of three steps, like a conceptual trilogy, fascinating, intricate, and intriguing, stimulating and capable of filling the eyes and the mind. The color enhances the artist's intention and immerses the viewer in his or her own world, without any limits of exploration A strand of contemporary art lies beyond spatial-temporal and perspectival limits; therefore, our color genius transcends spatial limits with Gioia, the name of the work (joy) suggests the origin of inspiration. Antonietta's abstractionism, as in this case, pivots on color to convey vibrations, sensations that are perceived at a higher level than the rational one Her art passes through the eyes and goes straight to the stomach, without passing through rationality. Antonietta uses bold, flamboyant tones for this, as in Incontro. Grimaldi's art dispenses with rationality but not with reflection, which is always stimulated; works such as Focus seek to pose symbolic questions. Her work is conceptual, fascinating, intricate, and intriguing, capable of making one think and filling the eyes and the mind, as with Macchia, the diarchy between signified and signifier goes to the advantage of a remarkable semantic gap that, through a few but essential elements, leads the viewer to question along with the artist. The extraordinarily strong and contrasting colors allow the work to focus the attention of the viewer who, captivated, loses himself in his own thoughts.

"I am still searching for new stimuli and my own style that lead me to experiment with new techniques in my canvases". Antonietta Grimaldi

ATTA

Abstract art is a universal language, allowing the artist to express emotions and feelings in a free and personal manner. An expression of the most intimate feelings or states of mind, of the deepest motions of sensibility or conscience, this art inherits the emphasis on the role of the poet and his creative power, as well as the tension towards the infinite and the conceptual breath of idealism Considered to be the most lyrical of the abstract expressionists, with paintings verging almost on mysticism, Mark Rothko was convinced that art was 'an adventure into an unknown world, which can only be explored by those willing to take the risk.

ATTA

The function of artists, Rothko went on to say, is to 'make the audience see the world in our way, not in their own way'. It is in the interweaving of these thoughts and reflections on art that the works of Atta, an artist whose painting seems to appear like soft music played softly, whose aesthetic intimacy makes it almost fragile and impalpable, precious With Rotchko's statements, he shares the courtly intention of showing his own vision of the world. The artist shares a small glimpse of her own reality, an intimate and whole gift in the sense of complete, unveiled, full in its delicate presence.

Ayaka Saitou

Japanese artist Ayaka Saitou, who has been interested in painting since her youth, has created a new and distinctive style formed by the combination of various passions including language, history, psychology, literature, art, and music. As a result of the mixture of all these elements and his interest in the world, the artist began to create a personal style, "link line art"," an entirely new digital artwork content. Her works aim to explore inwardness, they are works created from the soul, emotions and feelings, taking shape through lines and color and reaching directly into the mind of the viewer. She has always studied and understood light, color and movement, and used them instinctively on canvas to bring his imagination to life. Our perception does not stop only at the individual parts but must let go of the emotions and expectations we feel as we admire the ensemble of colors that generate a flow, a movement, a sheen of space and light. Our overall perception depends on the interaction of many factors, including our past experiences, environment, thoughts, feelings and needs. We must therefore let go of our eye on the nuances of the picture and focus on how we feel, on our present experience.

“A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art”. (Paul Cezanne)

Ayaka Saitou

Ayaka Saitou teaches us the importance of accepting the differences between us and uniting us in a world of inclusion, in her paintings she makes a strong connection between what is happening in society and the comparison with natural phenomena. The artist invites us to listen to what our heart is telling us, to listen to the precious feelings it is suggesting. We must then make an act of love, collect our feelings to give them to the people around us. Perhaps this is the greatest gift Ayaka is giving us: she is giving us the vision of her works by revealing her feelings to us, in a continuous act of love, which must not stop but must in turn be reciprocated. Admiring her works we can begin to travel in the spirit world, formed by light and boundaries that take us to another space-time dimension. We take a moment in front of these works, formed of matter, colors and shapes to draw out the main details but also to admire the total work as a harmonious whole of light and space. We look within and try to savor the beauty through the eyes of the heart.

Bruno Ferrari

Every day we are bombarded with thousands of pieces of information, words, images that we could almost get lost. Every single fact with which we relate provokes emotions in us, gives rise to new feelings or awakens dormant ones. Art is one of the most immediate and powerful means with which to express and make these feelings and emotions concrete, transforming a sensation into an image that can be shared with anyone. Communication is a mix, a dialogue between images and words: images trigger immediate emotions, while words lead to greater reflection. Their union generates a strong message, which remains imprinted in the mind. The young Italian artist Bruno Ferrari made this mixture his distinctive artistic trait, through which he expresses himself and his daily life. Bruno began to express himself with art through murals, he then transported this passion and his style to his canvases and tables, looking for other means through which to tell us a part of himself. Presented here we see three very different works in terms of technique, message and color range. His works are populated by anthropomorphic figures with a strong expressionist component who, as in the works of the famous American artist Basquiat, have somatic features reduced to graphic signs, often not very realistic, but which are extremely expressive and incisive The space is then filled with letters, words, graphic signs and colour, which create a new world, a new vision of reality. Bruno's works, due to their strength and expressive energy, seem to us to be a visceral action, dictated by an inner urgency, but at the same time designed and created to convey a message and leave a photograph of the artist's reality. However, this reality is also a bit ours: every time and every society has its problems and knots to untie and Bruno analyzes those of today, transforms his reflections into art and we, in front of his works, are transported inside them , sometimes almost overwhelmed, they make us identify with and stop and reflect, even if only for a moment. And so we find ourselves faced with the hypocrisy of the people we often face, who we meet everywhere, who seem to wear masks, who hide behind their falsehoods; to the desire to simply scream what we would like, but we feel blocked, with our mouths sewn shut, paralyzed by who knows what, and everything pours like a whirlwind inside us; the feeling of getting lost, of going around in circles and always being back to square one, overwhelmed by everything around us and by all the information we are bombarded with.

Chizuru Oikawa

Chizuru Oikawa gives us another participation on the occasion of "RGB SKY", exhibition organized by M A D S Art Gallery, with a triptych of beautiful works entitled "FUKA", which have in common one of the most beautiful gifts of nature: flowers But not just flowers, flowers dancing in the wind. Hope, harmony, contemplation: these are the key words that characterize the concept and the theme brought by the artist. A white background as a common denominator, which only highlights those extremely delicate features. In the first artwork, we find flowers tossed about by the wind in contrasting colors of black and red. The artist explains: "for exaple, at night when you are having a nightmare, if a ray of light shines through the darkness and illuminates this flower, it must be hope No matter how hard things get, there is hope for life ahead" The floral brilliance and the way in which those petals and leaves rest in the background, in fact, reveal that faint hope that always accompanies our every decision. Blue and purple, always in their shades closer to the pastel color, characterize the second artwork, that of healing: here too, the artist claims to have caught here the cool breeze blowing in your heart the moment you are freed from something that holds you back. It would be nice if there was this flower in a space where you can hold your breath and dive into the water, and in the silence you can only hear the sound of bubbles disappearing: the flower that blooms in the water is what happens in the third artwork. With her technique of dissolved alcohol ink in ethanol to create an alcohol ink art drawing with the wind of a hair dryer,

Chizuru Oikawa has her particular ability to reassure the observer and offer him a clipping of contemplation and total and light harmony: those dancing flowers that look heavenly decorations grant a world of tranquility - alternative to what we are used tofree of disorder and invasiveness.

Art Curator Sara Grasso

“I don't know what I can do until the work is completed, because I don't have a concrete plan to make it. But I can say that this is the fun of alcohol ink art. Wonderful coloring of alcohol ink gives healing to the heart. I hope that my paintings will heal many people through this event.”

Exploring spirituality, experience and perception, the art investigates humanity: people, bodies, faces are the protagonists of the works characterized by a poetic and highly symbolic style. We are called to interact with forces and energies of nature such as water and fire, light and darkness, the cycle of life and that of rebirth. Water is present as the amniotic element, liquid space that allows life and constrains it in a space-time limbo simultaneously. Birth joins death, The appearing and disappearing in water, in fire, describes the everydayness of pain and uncertainty, limbo as an enveloping protective and serene shell becomes a golden prison until something happens: rebirth. The liquid amniotic act of containing and preserving becomes light with new and unique colors, an aurora borealis of the self, starting again from its own foundation. A renaissance understood as a personal practice of recovering one's own beauty, one's own classicity as a human being. A face that appears from this light, imposes itself as a new life in the society it has imagined, which it has skillfully prepared for its own arrival. A form-generating atmosphere as floating spirits arriving on this earth rethought to welcome such new and such known forms of life.

Daria Avdeeva

Daria Avdeeva was born in Russia and grew up in the UAE. She is an artist with a multicultural background, heavily influenced by traditional Bulgarian, Russian, and Italian academies where she studied. Her works feature a meticulous representation of details and a sensitivity towards colors, focusing on portraits and still lifes, generally in figurative painting. On the occasion of the "RGB SKY" exhibition organized by the M.A.D.S. Art Gallery, she exhibited three works with an intimate and delicate atmosphere "Morning Coffee" portrays a girl who has just woken up with bobbed hair, a face mask, and a coffee cup in her right hand The background is abstract, with the upper part being a compact black and the lower part being a less compact red The girl's gaze is a mixture of boredom, sadness, and relaxation The work gives a feeling of calm and relaxation, and the artist has given the observer the opportunity to feel immersed in the context in which the girl finds herself As the artist herself explains, "the painting is a lovely representation of a moment of quiet contemplation and selfcare ” "Chasing Luck" is an oil on canvas work that depicts two rabbits (one white and one gray) chasing and searching for luck, just as we seek our opportunities in life The colors are delicate, and the representation is reminiscent of illustrations from children's books, creating a sweet and delicate atmosphere. In general, the artist explains that "the painting is a charming and delightful depiction of two playful rabbits engaged in a pursuit of good luck. It is sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone who sees it."Finally, "Gladioli and Alstroemeria in the Morning" is a still life that represents the union of red alstroemeria and purple gladioli in a white vase. The choice of white for the vase, together with the use of bright yellow for the contours of the flowers themselves, creates a lively contrast with the purple background. In general, Daria Avdeeva's works are characterized by great attention to detail and remarkable technical ability. The artist has effectively used the palette to create a visually appealing effect and to convey a sense of emotion through the use of colors. Figurative painting represents a great challenge for every artist, but Daria Avdeeva demonstrates a natural talent in this field.

Dolphin Brown

“People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” (Carl

Jung)

Video art is the main expressive tool of the American artist Dolphin Brown, who aims to create a new experience for the viewer through elaborate multimedia work. In the series 'Portals to Peace: Stargate', the artist's need is to lead us to a new spiritual path, one that can release us from what prevents us from living peacefully. The 'portal' carries with it a wide-ranging and rich symbolism, which is also reflected in the ritual heritage of spiritual traditions in both East and West. The act of 'crossing a threshold', in different cultures, means reuniting with a new world, where the door represents the passage between two spaces: between the known and the unknown, the profane and the sacred, the physical and the spiritual. In this series of videos, the observer finds himself immersed in distant universes, enveloped by delicate music, while geometries rich in ancient symbolism flow towards him, creating like space-time tunnels, transporting him towards a new light. Colors, stars, galaxies accompany the entire vision, projecting us into a meditative state of deep inner calm. The portal becomes for Dolphin Brown an element of identification with life, which is nothing but a continuous crossing of thresholds, through the passage from one phase to another, thanks to experience and understanding of the self. The artist wants to take us to a new level of consciousness and existence, with the intention of helping us to understand how fundamental it is to free ourselves of useless and old things, to return to breathing fully and relishing every moment, facing the journey of life with a new energy.

Dziuginta Didziokaite

The works of artist Dziuginta Didziokaite tell us about herself, in a broader sense. They tell of a path of realization, both in life and artistically; they are the sum of experiences, feelings and memories. Through bright colors, vivid hues, artist Dziuginta Didziokaite shows how the power of memories laces with the present, how the representation of life manages to capture attention and create forms full of beauty and emotion. Her paintings represent stretches of life that spill onto the canvas with a distinct dose of emotion, an awakening from days gone by, a transposition of painting and storytelling. The artist loves to establish direct contact with the viewer through exhibitions and presentations and to include the human side in her creations. Her works are not just portraits of people or depictions of landscapes but show gratitude, the life that revolves around nature, the thoughts that are hidden inside people.

“Art is a line around your thoughts”. (Gustav Klimt)

Dziuginta Didziokaite

For this reason, his paintings have a great emotional and emotional strength, they take the viewer by the hand and take him on a journey made of emotions and feelings, accompanying him between emotions and thoughts. Through the mix of strong colors and contrasting tones, the images stand out from the canvas and seem to reach out to the viewer, lay him bare before reality, question him. Indeed, we are bewitched before the beauty of this woman who encompasses, in elegance, the tale of a story. Through internal alchemical processes, the artist allows energy to flow without hindrance, uses her mind to explore the external territory and internal emotions to bring life to the canvas. In this way the movement flows freely, without blocks and visually and emotionally captures the viewer who is dancing to archetypal images, colors, shapes and images, and is accompanied on the inner journey that leads to new states of consciousness.

Eddie Mosler

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”

(Nikola Tesla)

The artworks by Eddie Mosler, a contemporary Ecuadorian artist, are luminous universes, rich in color and energy. Spaces where the beauty of inner peace emerges powerfully, entering into deep connection with the concept of spirituality. Light is, in fact, the universal symbol of divine nature, that element which, after the chaos of the original darkness, passes through the Whole, giving order to the universe and repelling darkness within its boundaries. Here the observer finds himself faced with magnetic, intense colors, dynamically spreading across the canvas, involving him in an otherworldly journey. Portals surrounded by clouds, at the centre of which cosmic landscapes unfold, wrapped in brilliant trails, vibrate on encountering the light. Blending oil colors and glitter, Eddie Mosler shows us distant worlds of unpredictable form, constantly in motion. Metaphysical places that investigate the energetic interconnection that governs our entire existence, from the most ancient explosion from which everything began, to the present day. It is interesting how the artist succeeds in merging the most ancient concept of spirituality with the scientific concept of energy through his abstract language. In the works 'Galaxy 1744', 'Quantum Transition' and 'Stellar Transmutation', we note how references to the energetic aspects that led to the birth of our world and life on earth are a constant: from the cosmological theory of the Big Bang, to the quantum theory, to the energies and mysteries that govern the cosmos. The artist's research and expressiveness confront the viewer with a truth that is too often forgotten, namely that everything we are made of and everything around us is governed by principles that we cannot control. Eddie Mosler, reminds us that everything is energy and that we ourselves are made of energy, and only by accepting this truth we will reconnect with our true essence, thus living our lives accompanied by the light of spirituality

Eduardo Scivoletto

Figurative but at the same time abstract in the representation of the colors and the strokes, Eduardo Scivoletto’ paintings express gestures and emotional feelings In each painting, and so also into the three ones exhibited at M.A.D.S Art Gallery ‘RGB SKY’ art exhibition, it is possible to see a great use of the red color, that for the artist himself is the expression of passion and energy. ‘Mother Gaia’, created with the use of blue and red pen, is the personification of our Earth. A young lady holding a globe is represented as the main subject of the piece, reflecting the world’s human essence. The artist's ability in conferring to the scene a dynamic atmosphere is also visible through the use of thin and energizing strokes that create movement and vitality such as in ‘Noi la stessa sostanza dei sogni’. A feminine body is drawn in the center of the canvas while, some blue and red clouds coming from the fog at the bottom of the canvas, are enveloping her as to transfer to the woman their energy. The main subject of the piece is, in fact, the human dreamer essence. Looking attentively at the main character, it is possible to find peace and harmony in the delicate movement of the woman’s hands and her close eyes and her half-close mouth in a sort of sigh. On the other hand, more energetic results are in 'La Fede’, a painting in which, also the giving of the strokes is different. The colorsalways the red and the blue - are here more brilliant and deeper in their essence and the strength of the hands' smack while meeting, gives a sensation of vitality to the whole scene Two opposite elements: the water and the air and so, the sea and the sky meet in the middle of the Globe peacefully, representing the harmony into the chaos.

Ellyn Bouscasse

Combinations of contrasting colours and juxtaposition of figurative and abstract shapes are the painting signatures of Ellyn Bouscasse’s art Ellyn is a French software engineer who decided to follow her heart and chose her long-time companion above all things: art “I paint and express my soul with colors”, Ellyn explains, “our soul, the invisible spirit that occupies our physical body and travels through time and space, provides the subject of my artist exploration”. She paints her pictures from memory and observation, using bright and contrasting colours to reflect her moods and her soul. Ellyn’s paintings recall the style of les Fauves, in how she overcomes the conception of art as the naturalistic imitation of reality by giving to colours and shapes a nonnaturalistic function. In her paintings, in fact, there is no perspective or chiaroscuro, but simple abstract and figurative forms, bright and unnatural colours. The works “Adelaide & Elizabeth - Sisters in Lanzarote.”, “Dazzling bird” and “Pareidolia” are beautiful examples Colours and shapes do not coincide with the outlines of the objects represented in the first two paintings “Adelaide & Elizabeth - Sisters in Lanzarote ” is Ellyn’s representation of two sisters who are painted with rounded shapes No details, no recognisable features, only the outlines of human bodies filled by bright and unnatural colours. The figures stand on a background divided into two parts where a light blue sky contrasts a beautiful purple floor. On the other hand, long and thin is the canvas depicting “Dazzling bird”. Here, the bird is vertically deconstructed: its face is dark blue, its eyes and mouth are white and wide open in a shocked expression. This part is strongly contrasted by a saturated yellow circle in the middle of the painting, surrounded by abstract brushstrokes of reddish and turquoise tones. Totally abstract is “Pareidolia”, where blue, red, pink and yellow brushstrokes navigate the painting without an apparent logic Pareidolia is the instinctive tendency of the brain to find ordered structures and familiar shapes in disordered images As the title suggests, in fact, the abstract shapes of this painting can transform into familiar shapes to the viewer’s eyes. Through these paintings, Ellyn invites us to enter her soul and navigate her memories and observations, while at the same time, the artist offers us a space through which we reflect our soul by navigating our memories and observations.

Emily Joseph

A whirlwind of abstractionism, expressionism and surrealism, and a new artistic awareness, which during the horrors of our time takes on a new perspective, a relationship where trust seems to be part of the possible landscapes between the individual and society. Art becomes the spokesperson for a gestural address, movement thus finds purpose in these abstract forms In these works we can see brushstrokes like sabre strokes full of energy, crinkles that seem to be the result of an idea of struggle or dance. What is produced by this metaphorical trampling of thoughts has a strong contemplative factor in it, which is characterised by the emphasis placed on the contemplative spiritual component of painting. visual and artistic sensibility, which relies on the communicative power of colour.

Emily Joseph

By emphasising the expressive value of colour, the artist creates her dreamlike place of facets and nuances struck by golden rays. Anything can happen in this two-dimensional place, the painting blends in with the chosen landscape because of its ability to create a niche, a den of self-generated and protected space. Abstract and expressive, light and colour, form and space, all indicating a perspective of good fortune

Aftermath

Eri Nishimura

An art that shouts, that looks the observer straight in the eye without any fear. An art that takes elements of the real world and makes them its own, eradicating their natural connotations and coining others, all its own and all at the service of expressiveness. The work of art has no practical purpose, but brings to life something that has to do with the spirit. Yes, because art, unlike craftsmanship, has a marvellous quality: it is imbued with that uselessness that speaks of what is inherent in the depths of all of us, which proves that in man there is an intimate drive, a secret motor that pushes a person to express himself with gestures that serve no purpose, but which fix ideas and make them live through the centuries and millennia. The artist does not know why he does what he does, he simply does it. Art is not born to satisfy a 'primary' need, but to respond to a mysterious necessity that drives man to do useless things and embodies the profound doubt of existence, translating into the search for the archetype. Is art therefore a search for the archetype? Perhaps. And if not, it is still a search for something that lives deep within. Observing Eri's works, we can find this search for the archetype, the direct and unfiltered image that, in one way or another, enters us, contaminates our feelings and influences our soul "I needの肺 - I need to breathe' is a powerful work, all played out on the dichotomy between transparency and expressive force. We look at the work and begin to breathe deeply, as if we had never inhaled air. Through a colour scheme that veers towards fluorescent tones, thanks to the contrast created between the colour patches and the dark background, we can perceive Eri's intent, managing to connect with the work itself. It is precisely for this reason that, while observing the work, we inhale deeply, aware that that gesture, so automatic, is inseparable from the very concept of life. And this is where transparency comes into play. The lung tissue, characterised by a multitude of colours alternating one on top of the other, presents a certain transparency, as if to remind us how much we, in our everyday life and in the single second, forget to be grateful to breathe. The work is a hymn to self-awareness and its expressive cry grips us, making our breathing deeper, but also more agitated. Eri Nishimura has the ability to express real and powerful feelings with the use of colour and form. More than a representation of the world, one can speak of a representation of archetypes where the portrayed and reworked element acts as an input that enters the mind of the observer, grips him and forces him to find connections and associations, building an indissoluble bond that binds both

Fabrizio Sironi

Fabrizio Sironi is an Italian artist who brings us color and light as autonomous expressions in this exhibition, who treats color as an important content for his work. Nominated for important awards such as the "International Prize for Contemporary Art at Brera" and the "International Prize for Contemporary Art" in Barcelona, his paintings feature colors and movements that intertwine and create a relationship with the viewer. His art conveys continuity, contrast, texture, harmony, construction and complementarity Fabrizio's immense universe of brushstrokes creates a kind of narrative around the meaning of valuing color and form as contents of his art and his research. Fabrizio travels through two clear and opposite sides of the great sphere of abstractionism, with a relevant production based on geometry and another based on organicity, on the fluidity of pigments. The pigments do not seek extravagant functions, but try to reveal the poetry that dwells in the brushstroke, in the signs that are created and reproduced throughout the entire support

Fabrizio Sironi

In the "Dripping" series exhibited in RBG SKY, the paintings have characteristics which are consonant in his other works such as overlaps and combinations, which seek to transmit sensations to the eyes of the beholder. The authenticity of his work is presented in the way the artist creates his abstract language together with the expressionist language, conducting the spirit of his work between the tonalities he creates, often creating new tones on the canvas from his brushstrokes His work displayed here is dynamic, intuitive and presents new planes, deep spaces, three-dimensionality, dialogues between lights and shadows. Wassily Kandinsky says: "Chromatic tones, like musical ones, have a subtle essence, they give more subtle emotions, inexpressible in words. Perhaps each tone will eventually find material, verbal expression. Yet there will always be something that words cannot fully render, and which is not superfluous, but essential. For this reason words are and remain hints, quite external signs of colours In this impossibility of replacing the essence of color with words or other means lies the possibility of monumental art."

Fateme Karimi

We should always remember that sensitiveness and emotion constitute the real content of a work of art. (Maurice Ravel)

Fateme Karimi's artworks release an energy and a positive impulse that is able to capture the viewer's attention at first sight. With a skilful use of acrylic colors, the artist manages to create a universe of infinite facets, which captivates the eye and catalyzes the mind. During the "RGB Sky" exhibition, we have the opportunity to admire the seductive nuances of Night, which chase each other on the canvas to compose a magnificent set of bold colors. The acrylics are expertly layered on top of each other in a dense and textural way, giving a stunning the illusion of three-dimensionality. Furthermore, the abstractionism technique allows for the creation of an airy composition free from formal constraints, which unfolds in a mesmerizing whole like the soft fiery clouds of a sunset. Fateme Karimi's mastery is best expressed in the ability to shape a work in which the starting point is an optimistic feeling, capable of warming the soul. It can be said that she has achieved the main objective of every artist, that of communicating not only through technique, but above all with emotion, establishing a bond with the observer who transcends the limitations of rationality to embrace the universality of sensations human.

I think for me, any great art is art which communicates human emotion. (Greg Lake)

Gabriella Fiorillo

Gabriella Fiorillo (Ancona, Italy) is an interior designer, children's book illustrator and a professional artist for over 40 years. At "RGB SKY" hosted by M.A.D.S. Art Gallery, Gabriella presents three works belonging to the "Cosmogonia" series (2022): "The Sea in Winter Ocean Drops", "Two Seas Embrace", "Venus Birth". The artworks are a mix of different and contrasting colours that blend together in a seemingly chaotic and causal way, yet find a fascinating balance of colour and form. "'COSMOGONIA' was born while observing my works, while I was pouring the acrylic colours on the canvas: this phase fascinates me, especially seeing this fluidity while creating the movements in a natural way," says Gabriella. This process is meant to recall the birth of the cosmos, the creation of fluid and energetic environments that mark 'The Origin of the Universe', which brings the artist back to being in constant evolution, to shaping matter, to creating and pouring colours in her own way to make each painting a unique piece. The paintings are almost all dedicated to water, which the artist declares to be his main natural element. "The sea and the sound of water are a formidable therapy, and when combined with colours they become so powerful that they raise the frequency of your energy and their power lasts," Gabriella says.

Germano Pontevichi

Germano Pontevichi (b. 1961, Cremona) studied at the Liceo Classico in Cremona. In 1984 he obtained his academic diploma at the ISIA (Superior Institute for Artistic Industries) in Urbino. The following year, he joined the Condè Nast publishing house as a graphic designer. He worked for the magazines Vogue Italia, Vogue Gioiello, Per Lei and Per Lui. In 1995 he joined the publishing house Mondadori as graphic designer, in 1999 the publishing house Rizzoli and as art director for the magazine Io Donna. In 2001 he started working at the publishing house Hearst Magazine Italia and as art director for the magazine Marie Claire. In 2020 he started working with the graphic studio XyComm in Milan. Past exhibitions include "L'arte si mostra" in 2018, in Rome, at Palazzo Ferrajoli; "NONSOLOCARTA" in 2021 in Pietrasanta (Lucca) and in 2023 in Piacenza, at Spazio Rosso Tiziano. The technique of collageboth analogue and digital - has always fascinated Germano Pontevichi because with it he can open the doors to imaginative worlds in which anything is possible. Starting from this explosive potential in his analogue collages, he tries to construct new imagined realities using space and three-dimensionality. The use of the third dimension gives more consistency to his representations, in which he tries to visually communicate the themes that fascinate him most: correspondences, the sense of precariousness, the sense of balance and fragility, emotional dynamics that accompany us every day. What is important to him is to propose a visual journey that induces us to interpret images in a different way, freed from a mathematical reality. The work LE CORRISPONDENZE (2021) shows the profiles of two young women facing each other, one has her eyes open and bright, the other, on the right, half-closed. In the centre of the collage, a hand holds a sort of pendulum hanging from a thin wire that, in constant motion, like a pendulum clock, attracts attention and hypnotises the eye. The whole is enclosed within a marble perspective architecture in green and pink, with an opening revealing a clear sky and a full moon. The work OVUNQUE TU SIA (2022), on the other hand, shows us an imaginary square shaped by four arms that start from the four corners and converge towards the centre. Our gaze is in fact directed by the four index fingers that all point towards it, as if to tell us where the person we are looking for might be. At the same time, however, the hands fail to touch each other, to find each other, leaving the viewer with the feeling that we have failed to find the person we are looking for. Finally, with SE NON AVESSI TE (2023), we have a diptych consisting of two crumpled origami showing two faces in black and white. The strength of this work is immense in its simplicity. In fact, the work is made up of two parts, without one the other could not exist in the same way, as happens when you are in a couple, and it is true love that you prefer.

Guido Sancilio

The assonances and dissonances of female bodies set in the rugged Canary rock are presented by Guido Sancilio at the RGB SKY international art exhibition at M A D S Sancilio brings to light three frames from his intriguing project Tierra Madre The artist, photographer moves with ease and great critical spirit between the harmonic similarities and discrepancies of two elements that he handles as a director with extreme mastery. His are of the theatrical stills, photos in which the model literally assumes a pose that succeeds in making sense of the image. In this emerges Sancilio's mood, feeling and emotion, the scenery he creates and the interplay between the two elements succeeds in creating an image that exudes vigorous energy and is of great emotional impact. A further level of depth of the analysis of the shots succeeds in bringing out an important characteristic of the Tierra Madre series: the scene is bare, there are no special effects, grand gestures and the number of elements is small and above all the selection is in black and white, yet the shots are capable of arousing great wonder, they take one's breath away; this is possible thanks to the artist's great research and critical spirit that enhances the wonder of nature and the spectacularity of duality The gentleness and elasticity of the female body clashes violently with the static still and silent majesty of the rock. The angles, edges, and rudimentary charm of the living stone accommodate the Michelangelo-esque bodies of the dancers. Guido chooses to enhance, as Michelangelo would have done, the musculature of the athletes' naked bodies: this is an artistic and stylistic choice that should be emphasized because it becomes a key to interpretation and a distinctive mark. Despite the dissonances, the two unities of the works fit together perfectly, finding their balance in the truth of nudity. Tierra Madre is an interesting title because it emphasizes the Romantic intuition of the shots Guido with this series evokes the Leopardian Romanticism of the relationship between man and nature, where nature is presented as a "stepmother" that simultaneously welcomes and frightens the human being, who has only to find his space in the world and accept the concept of "sublime." The shoes of the dancers depicted are the signature of Guido Sancilio, an Italian dance, fashion and advertising photographer. Guido has produced campaigns for some of Italy's most important companies and also for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He has also made exhibitions and photo reportages in Europe, Africa, Asia, Latin America and Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. Only the constant refinement of professional skills in different styles, constant adaptation to situations allow the photographer to get the best result in his work.

Hannah Branton

"Nature exists as an ever-evolving form of creation, and I try to mirror that in my art by being grounded in the present and tapping into my intuition."

(Hannah Branton)

With experience in the interior design sector, Hannah Branton is a London artist who experiments the digital art by elaborating intuitive abstract art. For the RGB SKY international exhibition held by M.a.d.s. Art Gallery, she exhibits three works from the "Moments in Nature" collection, whose title refers to the artist's love for nature. The latter perceives art as a therapy, a means of expressing her emotions and externalizing her way of interpreting the surrounding world. In the artworks selected for the exhibition, nature is represented in its fluid form. The three works seem to reproduce the liquid surface of the water, by capturing its ripples and movements due to currents and winds. The titles refer to the fluidity of the material too, just as the dynamism captured. Even though the image is motionless, it seems to be in motion, like a veil that passes over landscapes rich in color, capturing the attention and curiosity of the beholder of what's hidden underneath.

Haomei

Art, in its broadest sense, encompasses any human activity - performed individually or collectively - that leads to forms of creativity and aesthetic expression, innate or acquired abilities. Therefore, art is a language, i.e. the ability to convey emotions and messages. However, there is no single artistic language and no single unambiguous code of interpretation. In its most sublime meaning, art is the aesthetic expression of the human interiority and soul. It reflects the artist's opinions, feelings and thoughts within the social, moral, cultural, ethical or religious framework of his or her historical period. Its benefits can vary, but it can also be a cure for various common diseases or symptoms. Human beings have always had an innate need to communicate and this, even before the use of words, occurs through the realisation of images. It can therefore be said that art was born with humanity, accompanying it in all its forms and manifestations. More recent research, on the other hand, leads to the realisation that, for individuals, art does not only have a recreational or entertainment dimension but is endowed with a 'healing' function. Art can in fact have considerable emotional and psychological effects for individuals, whether they produce art or enjoy it. Haomei takes the healing meaning of art and moulds it to her liking, producing works with a high expressive power and a strong emotional component. Spirituality, the power of colour and gesture, psychology and mystical elements shape a rich and fertile terrain within the artist's works for the creation and development of therapeutic themes.

Haomei

And so it is that our eyes rest on two splendid dragons to be observed in pairs. The first of them, has a wide-open mouth inside which the teeth can be seen; the second of them, on the other hand, has its jaw clenched. Both produce sounds: the first dragon 'A-gyo' emits a roar similar to 'ah'; the second, with its mouth closed, forms the sound 'Un'. The first symbolises birth, the event of life as a fiery spark that ignites existence; the second embodies the sense of death, as the closing of a cycle, the end of the vital parenthesis. It is therefore clear that these two works work in synergy with each other, signifying, as a pair, the end and the beginning, the change of everything, the absolute whole. This particular symbolic meaning is accentuated and enhanced by the enormous expressive power of colour. The two dragons, characterised by their shining golden colour, are literally submerged in colour. Pigment is spread below them and thrown - as in a sort of dripping - onto their sinuous bodies, creating large threadlike spots that blend with their scales and their golden-bronze colouring. Haomei, in those rapid shots of colour, infuses all her expressiveness and desire to give a healing tool to those in need. Art is not only a language, it is medicine for the eyes but above all for our inner self. It is nourishment for lost souls, for those who have lost their goals. It is colourful lifeline for those who have lost the will to see in colour.

Harry Whale

Harry Whale (b. 1987 Edinburgh) is a contemporary artist whose ongoing artistic series explores figurative abstraction with a focus on metaphorical narratives, which are further amplified through visceral colour harmonies. While many elements are true to reality and show traditional processes, some distortions, exaggerate the emotional significance of the moment: connection, loss, vulnerability, or loneliness. This juxtaposition between vibrance and darkness is what makes it memorable. Experimental Harry’s art is carried out with oil on canvas, metal, resin, acrylic, ink, and collage through washes, drips, drops, gestural and expressive mark-making. These multi-layered compositions reflect the accumulation of Harry’s memories as they are translated into painted form. After studying Modern and Contemporary Art at MoMA, NYC, Harry went traveling around USA and Europe, where she found her current home in Bergamo, Italy. The work Displacement allows us to admire the use of oil and collage, particularly of materials such as buttons, wood, fabrics, and paper. What the viewer sees is a human figure against a dark background with reddish hues, the hair is the result of a mixture of differently shaped and coloured buttons, while the eyes, nose and mouth are the result of paper collage. The neck and torso are also made from paper collages of different origins. The gaze is absorbed, the eyes are turned upwards, and the mouth is closed. With the work We who are not from others, however, we have a different kind of representation. This time, in fact, the artist has used acrylic together with the collage technique, along with buttons, paper and trumpet, on a metal support. What returns as a leitmotif is the human figure, in this work in profile, not explicitly defined. In the place of the eye a flower, in the place of the ear a small trumpet, and all over the rest of the face, the head and the torso traces of colour and buttons. The background stands out and is bright pink. At the height of the nose stands out a white rectangle in relief, while on the opposite side, at neck height, we see an orange planet with clouds and a fish, the result of a collage. Finally, the work A taste of passion, quite different from the two previous works, is made with ink on paper. Minimalist and essential, the work depicts part of a woman's face; the eyes are not visible. The woman bites her lower lip and moves her hair behind her ear with her left hand.

Harsh Shahi

Harsh Shahi (India, 2000) started painting in 2022 and has not stopped since. His work usually revolves around the abstract, he likes to work with canvases and paper especially with acrylics/water and more. At the 'RGB SKY' exhibition hosted by M.A.D.S. Art Gallery, Harsh presents three abstract artworks. "Galactic medley" is an acrylic and oil pastels on paper whose bright colours - red, fuchsia, blue, white, yellow - are distributed chaotically on a black background. Although the distribution appears completely random, the end result is actually quite balanced and seems to respond to a perfect inner equilibrium. "Gulf of black", an acrylic and gel medium textures on paper is a beautiful all-black work. The distribution of gel brush strokes guarantee an incredible textural and three-dimensional effect, made even more evident by the light hitting them. The choice of a total black work is then of extreme elegance and refinement. Completely different in terms of colour choice is "Harlequin", a Water, Acrylic and Charcoal on canvas. In the background, there are squares of different shapes and colours with a watercolour rendering. To give a sense of relief, Harsh draws a kind of irregular blank canvas on the surface, which provides movement and three-dimensionality to the work, which is both surprising and lively at the same time. With his beautiful works, Harsh Shahi seeks to ignite a sense of inclusion with all that is life. Squeezing the love onto the canvas that he has become over time, simply flying to the peaks and inner cores. He knows that everything that happens within him cannot be expressed in its entirety, but even for just a part of it he is willing to pour himself out completely.

Icicca

Spring is an extraordinary season during which we witness the passage of nature from the winter state of gestation, in which energies are dormant, to an active, dynamic, life-giving one. In the Assyro-Babylonian culture, this season was associated with the god of beauty Tammuz (Adonis) who, after dwelling all winter in the darkness of the Underworld, came to the light in spring showing all his enchanting beauty. We also find this myth in ancient Greece: according to tradition, in March Persephone is reunited with her mother Demeter, after having spent the winter with her husband Hades in the underworld Demeter is so happy to re-embrace her beloved daughter that she fills the earth with flowers and fruit until autumn In contrast, the Celts celebrated Eostre, the Venus-like deity of the rising sun Her name is said to derive from aes, meaning 'east', the point where the dawn light rises each day, connected to the vital energy needed for new branches to be born and bear flowers and fruit. The concept of rebirth intrinsic to spring surpasses space-time, arousing interest in numerous cultures and peoples that have inhabited our world over the centuries. Indeed, the spiritual appeal emanating from spring is, even today, enormous. Although we literally live in concrete islands, although we have lost close contact with nature, with the circadian rhythm and the seasons, it is impossible to remain impassive to the arrival of spring. It is pleasant to open the window in the morning and smell the air that slowly, as the days pass, becomes warmer and warmer. It is pleasant to watch the grass that, day after day, begins to green up the meadows. It is wonderful to watch the trees blossom, symbolising their return to life after their winter rest. With his work, Icicca wants to pay homage to this sense of rebirth and the blossoming of new life. 'Firefly' is a work of delicate tones, granitic in its essence. Ethereal whitish and pinkish flecks alternate on each other and take the form of circular bubbles, completely flooding the space of the representation The chromatic rendering is extremely ethereal and delicate, as are the petals of the blossoming cherry blossoms: fragile, splendid and precarious, just like a newborn life And yet, if we look closely at the work, we can perceive that, that colour, so delicate and ethereal, has a rather hard consistency, almost granitic in fact. The extremely smooth and hard surface suggests the resilience of life itself and how it has managed to overcome the frost and darkness of the winter that has just passed. And yet, 'Firefly' does not exclusively represent spring; rather, it is a precise moment in time, a transitional period between spring and summer, between the beginning of life and its maximum vital potential. Switching off the light, tiny luminous dots peep out from the pictorial surface. They are fireflies, the insects that illuminate and make summer nights magical. In a flash, spring has given way to the warm, lush summer. The force of life has won, once again over decadence, and we can do nothing but observe the long-awaited change of season with awe and wonder.

Isabel Sousa

Born in Angola, Isabel Sousa currently lives in Portugal. She graduated in Plastic Arts-Painting in Lisbon and, during her creative career, she developed several painting projects of an intimate and analytical nature of the human condition. At 'RGB SKY' hosted by M.A.D.S. Art Gallery, Isabel presents three acrylics on canvas. Her painting approaches the idea of the imaginary landscape, developing the concept of nomadic vision in which a horizontal line seems to give continuity to new spaces, extending later. Visual and conceptual, her works represent ephemeral landscapes, without beginning or end, material and fluid in space and time, which in the unpredictability of the encounter with unexpected objects and forms, provoke intuition and surprise: imaginary geographies, dialogue with other spaces and affective memories.

Isainhermind

Isainhermind is an artist of feelings, she lets herself be guided by the instinctive process of creation letting her anxieties and her fears come out from her subconscious As an artist of feelings, she is accompanied in her creation by instinctive movements that have no rules and that don’t come from any reasoned idea. It is just from this way of creation that is visible the artist’s ability in conferring life to her artworks that often represent female subjects giving voice to Isa’ deep thoughts ‘Nature Rebirth’; ‘Their Control’ and ‘Walls cracking’ are the digital paintings exhibited at M.A.D.S. Art Gallery during the RGB SKY exhibition. Each of them, in their different meanings, present a common artistic language, the one of black and white that, in artistic language, is known as the: chiaroscuro. The ‘game’ of light confers to each digital painting and its subject a deep meaning that is coherent with the title itself that is a reference to society and the way the artist herself feels among it. ‘Cracking Walls’, the most luminous one, shows a young woman absent-mindedly looking at something indefinable that pushes the viewer to its imagination Looking attentively at it, some cracks run on the lady’s body comparing her pale body to a broken wall about to fall The feeling of sadness and fear that can be read through the wet eyes covered by tears is the same described in ‘Their Control’ Rougher in its meaning but clear in its artistic technique, the scene represents the society’s control on its population. The hands covering the lady’s mouth and head, are the symbols of the impossibility to reason and to speak freely but, in this case too, through the game of light, the artist has been able to let the eyes speak. On the opposite side, the subject of ‘Nature Rebirth’ shows empty eyes from which some flowered branches are getting out. A worried expression explains the nature’s (and so the artist’s) fear for its pain; the climate exchange and the sufferance it causes However, the artist tries to give a positive message of rebirth, giving to the mean character of the piece, a natural essence.

Janally

Janally is the artistic name of Lydie Gabrielle, she is a French artist who, in her love for reinventing and creating new stories, dedicates her time to creating collages, sharing a little of her enthusiasm in each work of hers. Since 2009, the artist has dedicated herself to the language of collage, improving her technique to this day. By introducing alternative materialities into her work, Janally invents compositions, usually introducing parts of human body figures, elements of nature, animals and organic forms in her collages that overlap her compositions. One of the fascinations she feels in her creative work is diving into the great potential of collage to create new stories while taking images from their original context. With diverse perspectives and plans, Janally opens spaces for new possibilities of telling stories and evoking sensations through her color palettes that are studied in each work.

Janally

"Amore" has a palette of pastel colors, transmitting a romantic, warm and soft idea in her work. At the same time, "Transit City" conveys a chaotic air of concentration, grouping, exorbitance and quantity, with a predominance of dark tones and latent and angular red. In both works, the network of relationships between subjects and objects is visible, where the artist creates meanings for the viewer. Thus, her work participates in a communication scheme, as if the audience is exposed to a text in which there is an accumulation of meanings. Those who visit her work can find themselves reading a story, receiving information all the time and establishing relationships between ideas and sensations. Escher says: "That person who daydreams themselves knows they are having a wonder."

Jennie Söderlund

Swedish artist Jennie Söderlund has always carried the passion of painting in her heart, a passion animated by her studies in art, person and culture. The artist gives us works that are an inner exercise. Through the study of her own person, the artist is able to concentrate the flow of thoughts and concretize them into works of art, formed by emblematic and mellow colors that stand out from the flat surface of the canvas, creating a swirl of moving emotions. Artist Jennie Söderlund invites us to stop for a moment to breathe and think, to dwell on the details to give importance and strength to everything, every small aspect of our lives that holds deep meaning even if we sometimes do not think about it. Jennie nurtures inner emotions, cultivates them and paints them on canvas. Her paintings reflect her inner self and her passions. Each form does not exist for itself but in relation to others, and in this way the void always takes on a different, moving form. Therefore, form exists because of emptiness and emptiness exists to give form to things.

“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see”. (Henry David Thoreau)

Jennie Söderlund

The artist creates a perfect balance between emptiness and fullness by making us understand the importance of the complementarity of elements. Through these elements, Jennie Söderlund's work tells us the story, the flow of emotions that led to its creation and that touches us deeply. The story does not stop on the canvas, is not imprisoned by colors, but frees essence and feelings, and makes us feel affected and radiated with light. An artist of feelings, emotions, light and life, Jennie Söderlund gives us works that are an inner exercise. Through the study of her own person, the artist manages to concentrate the flow of thoughts and concretize them into works of art, formed by emblematic and mellow colors that stand out from the flat surface of the canvas, creating a swirl of moving emotions.

Joan Parramon

Living in Barcelona, Joan Parramon is a Spanish artist who has had a numerous and extensive history in the world of painting since 1980 on. In 2005, the artist began his studies in abstractionism in painting, in which he has been going on with his maturation in the pictorial language. Joan Parramon contributed to the growth and construction of contemporary art, composing works with relevant themes in contemporary society. The artist has had his works exhibited in several places around the world, such as New York, France, United Kingdom and Germany. Besides, his works lie on the walls of several collectors' homes around the world. What of our creations are capable of bringing us closer to nature? His research starts with his deep interest in discovering and researching the universe and what may lie beyond it. The term of Greek origin Kósmos designates the universe as order, an ordered system in contrast to chaos and disorder. The set of everything that exists, from the microcosm to the macrocosm, from stars to subatomic particles His series exposed in RGB SKY, "Homage to the Earth" is the portrait of this interest which is inspired by the images of our planet provided by Google Earth.

Joan Parramon

Creating and composing with the shades of colors that nature offers us, from its fluid and non-geometric shapes, the natural creative making is part of this nature, which belongs to the whole. By paying attention to the planet, Joan Parramón makes an important alert to climate change and human behavior which impacts this sad reality. Peter Singer says, "We are all responsible not only for what we do, but also for what we could have avoided or decided not to do " Parramon’s works on display suggest that in addition to admiring the beauty of these places and being able to honor them, as everyday actions can be reflected and rethought. Through his brushstrokes in which he mixes alternative materials and pigments, the artist relates directly to the archetypes of water and earth, a dialogical relationship created by the artist. The earth goes through sensitive changes in both its shape and size; represented here by abstractions, ideas and symbols. The soil shows us subject concepts of objective space of existence, which is fortress, home, the primitive, security, identity On the other hand, water is delivery, fluidity, movement, lightness, malleability, the mysterious, undiscovered, the infinity of possibilities, healing, vitality. His work radiates beauty while communicating with representation and thought, art and politics, imagination and science.

Jóhannes K. Kristjánsson

“My influences and inspirations come from the nature. Whether it's fine grass in nature or rocks, it can just as well be an abstract painting” (Jóhannes K. Kristjánsson)

The international art gallery M.A.D.S. is enormously proud to welcome back artist Jóhannes K. Kristjánsson and his three new works that are the result of study, observation, skill, and genius for the RGB SKY art exhibition.

Kristjánsson, as we know is an artist comes from Iceland, in this wonderful and enchanted land, nature communicates with human and is the main source of inspiration for the creative man. Observation of nature is a fundamental part of our artist's creative process, his artistry is there for all to see, the observer is enraptured by the talent of Jóhannes who proves to be a great observer and a skilled painter. However, what should be emphasized most of all, what makes his works unique, what scratches the soul of the viewer is his ability to capture one of the common experiences belonging to the human being: the tendency of man to reflect, to look inside himself to take in the outside world and create a fascinating journey in the mind, internalizing, meditating. The feeling left by the three works is that of a state of reflection arising from the dialogue between man and nature. Jóhannes has the Romantic spirit of Leopardi in his Operette Morali, particularly the "Dialogo della Natura e di un Islandese”." Fundamental is the perception and reproduction of light and color to recreate a range of different atmospheres. On By the Lagarfljót the artist states "according to folklore, the water monster worm lives in the river The water is not clear, but grayish because of glacial turbidity...." The artist's reflective tension peaks in Muddy path "Walking along these muddy paths is like life. You have to be careful not to step on the mud pits if you want to get to the bottom easily." Finally, Kristjánsson presents us with a very powerful, bucolic and Romantic setting in Sidewalk and dwells on the "long shadows of the sun. Summer is just around the corner." The attention to detail is dictated by his narrative and descriptive need, this fosters a dialogue with the viewer

Julia Ulrich

“Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the sun colours flowers, so does art colour life”. (John Lubbock)

Contemporary painter Julia Ulrich lives and works in Germany. She has created over the years a personal style that pays homage to the history of the place where she grew up, taking inspiration from the stories of the Brothers Grimm, her paintings become a tribute to the history of fairy tales and myths that surrounded her as a child. Her personal and distinctive style exudes honesty and strength and expresses the mysterious spirit and atmosphere of a world between reality and fiction. Through her paintings, we are immersed in a fantasy world where duality is a recurring form, reminding us that the world is full of wonder, joy and magic but also darkness, danger and pain. All of this brings us back to reality, immerses us in a world that is real but also influenced by fairy tales and permeated with fantasy, where forms gain importance and make us dream, explore distant and different worlds, challenge us and expand our imagination.

Julia Ulrich

Julia Ulrich's works are a combination of emotional intensity and self-description but with a movement of rebellion, demonstrates vitality and creativity. They are an explosion of shapes and colors that create a natural and sensory datum, illuminating space and enlivening it with small details. We can observe real and true forms juxtaposed with more abstract forms reminiscent of childhood representations. The individuality of the artist plays a central role in the work, which is realized through an abstract pictorial language, uses different colors and styles that converge into an active and energetic image. A sense of freedom of tradition and broader breath stands out, the act of painting finds full justification in the artist's impulse that recalls primitive forms, thoughts, motions and agitation. The artist decides to act, to convey what he feels on the canvas in a liberating motion.

Justin Chan

On the occasion of the new exhibition organized by M A D S Art Gallery, "RGB SKY", the photographer Justin Chan exhibits six incredible arworks In "D AGE OF AQUARIUS", we catapult ourselves into a celestial and, at the same time, apocalyptic world. Bubbles and clouds fill the artwork, with two vortices - a smaller upper one and a bigger one lower one - composed of transparent and apparently very fragile concentric circles, which seem to slowly swallow the sky, until they suck it completely. In "STAR TRACK", the background is for two-thirds blue - celestial - and for a third color sand - ground - and the feeling is to find ourselves faced with a question of physics linked to balance. On top, we find the protagonist: a star, whose brilliance and gloss can obscure and put in the background the other two subjects, which highlight even more the brightness of the same On the right, a sphere appears to be composed of fingerprints; on the left, a straight line reminiscent of an arrow pushes the viewer’s eye to look at the star. "HERMÈS" is a shower of colors that seems to shatter a mirror into a thousand pieces, thus giving the perception of observing a mosaic composed of shapes of different types, both colored and black and white, not regular and arranged as if, on them, a cascade of shades fell.

Justin Chan

In "SEX & D CITY", we are curious observers of stylized green people walking around the city: the objects are varied and fluid, not labelable Their world is composed of cubes wedged together as in tetris, giving us the idea of having in front of us a screen with an old video game. Here is there, between that geometric world, we find instead neutral and not colored glimpses that seem to reproduce doors, entrances and exits for the characters that seem to pass through dimensions. In "THE WONDERLAND", we find various colors related to the earth and flora, such as green and blue, in various shades that overlap and mix. In "THE WONDERLAND", we find various colors related to the earth and flora, such as green and blue, in various shades that overlap and mix The only horizontal one is "D TUNNEL" which, unlike the first artwork, has some antitheses: the subject - reminiscent of a flower or a pupil - does not swallow, but radiates, fills and gives color However, this happens slowly and harmoniously, it is not a quick operation because we are not talking about invasion and invasion, but a gradual filling process. Justin Chan manages, as always, to embrace the concept of the exhibition, with his stylistic style that is recognized by the titles always successful and incisive and the ability to always grasp the details and different points of view of things.

Karma Bint Abbas

Karma Bint Abbas (b. 2002, Amman) is a Jordanian artist. She attends Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. Karma also has Turkish and Palestinian roots, an eclectic background which influenced her style of art. Mixed media, vibrant colors, texture, patterns, prints, and interesting contrasts are present in her work which is inspired by her mixed background, Islamic faith, and the Middle East. Karma combines painting and drawing along with textiles to create work about the idea of home and one’s longing for it. Textiles and patterns are recurring in her work and connect culture with interior spaces and the way we use them. Her work fills the viewer with a sense of peace and tranquility, color is important and is used to create happy and peaceful moods. Purples, pinks, and blues are the main colors that provide the sense of calmness she wants to portray in the subject matter. A mainly pastel color pallet creates scenes of Middle Eastern interior spaces, skylines and more fill the viewer with a sense of peace and invites them to challenge the misconceptions they may have on Islam. Combining the mediums of acrylic, watercolor, oil pastels on canvas, she uses these materials to experiment and expand with the limitations of traditional watercolor. Colour is light and light gives life to different personalities.

Karma Bint Abbas

With RGB SKY M.A.D.S. Art Gallery has set itself the goal of discovering as many memories as possible. Within this theatre, the viewer interacts with the colours and gives rise to new imaginative fantasies. But what images might a viewer bring to life in front of Karma Bint Abbas' works? Certainly, of worlds of peace, serenity, and harmony. Light worlds in which life does not weigh down. In which colours have a life of their own and shine, illuminating their surroundings. With the work Prayer Mat Karma he uses the medium of paper, but at first glance it appears to be a much lighter medium, almost without thickness, floating. Certainly, all sensations that the colour tones and watercolour technique bring to the fore. The work Levantine View, on the other hand, which has a horizontal course, is as if divided into two parts, not perfectly symmetrical, and different in colour and form. The upper one features pastel colours, shades and buildings that stand out against what appears to be the lower mirror of light, a mirror that however reflects a different, darker reality. The viewer is probably wondering which is the true reality: the upper one or the one reflected in the lower half?

Kei

Chromatic atmospheres stand out before our eyes. The space of the composition is full of segments and circuits filled with pigment that, one next to the other, constitute the true sense of the work. The gaze moves to a blue segment, then to a red one, then to a green one until it delicately settles on browner, mutated spots to take a moment's rest. What are we observing? The mind wanders, looking for images we might associate with what unfolds before our eyes but, "From Start to Finish" is unique and we cannot find any similar images. At times one has the sensation of being in front of tongues of fire, of a chromatic fire that is blazing before our eyes; at other times the perception is that of finding oneself catapulted into the middle of a stormy ocean illuminated by the colours of the sunset. But in reality, the work is nothing of the sort. Kei creates an abstract work where everything that the title omits to say is represented. Those colourful tongues, those chromatic ridges that make up the work and overlap one another are nothing more than the time between the beginning and the end of a journey. It is the experience made in colour, it is the summation of situations and events that characterise a certain moment in the artist's life, revealing the heart of the journey. If, therefore, 'From Start to Finish' narrates on a temporal level through a spatial and chromatic composition what happens between the beginning and end of something, in 'Castle', these space-hungry chromatic segments represent something more tangible.

Kei

The title is quite clear. We are faced with a castle, a kind of fortress-like structure, characterised by a certain level of impenetrability. Discovering the existence of this element is soon done; long, nervous segments in blue, bluish and reddish tones cluster one on top of the other, standing out from the rest of the chromatic elements and forming an agglomerate of pigment that presents its own identity thanks to its distinctive colours and its rather globular shape. This atmosphere of an inaccessible and well-protected place is also accentuated by the presence of a reddish-coloured spiral element that, like a shining ruby, is set in the heart of this chromatic structure. It is the most protected point of the castle as well as the weakest and home of what there is to protect. It is the beating heart of the whole machine and, around it, the serpentiform chromatic elements, winding, intertwining and overlapping each other. In 'Castle', Kei narrates a spatial context, highlighting the malleability of these strips of colour, using them as the founding element of a space that has neither contours, nor air, nor free space. Colour invests everything and, as such, has a disarming expressive power. The sense of disorientation that we perceived at first, once we understand the intentions of the works and their spatial and chromatic characteristics, subsides, to turn into curiosity and wonder for a world that has colour as cement and line as the supporting skeleton of reality.

Kim Esty

Flowers are Kim Esty main characters. Their colors and their presence are perfectly coherent with the concept of the RGB SKY exhibition at M.A.D.S. Art Gallery, represents. The artist’s paintings are a daily gift to the viewer's soul and, in this case, to the viewer's eyes and emotions. The colors used by Kim have been chosen in relation to the place and the moment of the day that the artist wanted to represent. The main color of ‘Ocean Bloom’ is the light blue of the background, a soft painting whose main subject is big pink roses. The simple and soft light coming from the flowers confers, to the viewer's gaze, a peaceful and immersive sensation that reminds of the ocean’s cradling movement. With the same technique of deep and instinctive colorful strokes, ‘Striped Garden’ shows a more energetic and dynamic scene The garden to which the title refers to, is the background itself from which some orange and white flowers appear, almost confounding with the scene. More representative of a clear scene is ‘Moonlight Room’ where a vase of yellow roses is lying on a shelf in front of an open window, facing the sea. The light of the big and full moon illuminates the foreground conferring to the scene a poetic atmosphere, underlining the soft waves that emphasize the importance of the flowers and their meaning.

Kiriaka Mar

Kiriaka Mar (b. 1988, Lanusei, Sardinia, Italy) is an emerging Sardinian painter who lives and works in Arzana. Since childhood, she has been fascinated by art and colours. After the university break and thanks to the pandemic, she was able to resume her passion and experiment with various artistic avenues until she found her personal interpretation of art. His painting is characterised using both conventional and recycled materials, such as Mdf (Medium Density Fibreboard), a pressed wood fibre board, widely used in the furniture industry. It is an excellent performing, ecological and functional material) and wood, but also uses primary and bright colours. His works draw inspiration from his personal social and historical background, characterised by the matriarchy of rural Sardinia. They depict women dressed in colourful Sardinian costumes and immortalised in various everyday poses. The faces are deliberately rendered anonymous to allow everyone to recognise themselves and bring back memories.

Kiriaka Mar

The work Nannai is a eulogy to the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren. On the panel, the artist has created a single figure, in a miniature and essential way, sitting on a chair and with a baby on her lap. The gold background stands out, in fact among the materials used are gold leaf, and circular figures hanging on the wall behind. These are probably plates or utensils that in Italian culture, and southern culture, are hung like paintings. With this work, the artist has tried to reproduce the feeling of warmth and joy experienced in childhood in a timeless golden halo. In the second work, Pintadera, we see more people. The context is more or less the same, only enriched with more colours and details. We understand from the architectural context that we are not inside, but outside the Sardinian house. Several universal values are incorporated in the work, such as friendship between women, the strength that women have and the symbol of the Pintadera that embraces it all. The Pintadera is used today as a stamp to decorate typical bread. In this image, the Pintadera represents birth, contact with mother earth, the sharing of a people. It is a symbol of new beginnings and light.

Memories of passion, wonder and privilege. Klara Schneider presents “Fuego. On Fire”, “Dreamlands” and “Wine Splendor” for the “RGB SKY” Mixed Reality art exhibition at M.A.D.S. Art gallery. “RGB SKY”, a place for a wakeful imagination. The first artwork depicts a moment expressed by warm red and orange tones eager to compel the artist to remain wakeful. “Dreamlands” depicts an environment where unexpected events will be developed due to the peacefulness carried out by smooth cool tones. It is an invitation to wonder to then pick a dream and make it a memory. Privilege is to gather dreams and turn them into memories, to share and to distinguish what it is imperative to create your own path surrounded by valuable people. “Wine Splendor” as grey elegance, comes as a reminder of the importance of interaction during the stillness of peaceful memories. Klara Schneider remembers passion, wonder and privilege in order to keep with her wakeful imagination. The artist’s powerful brush strokes carry the action needed to portray the urge to remain wakeful.

“Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen. ”

For years, the topic of artificial intelligence has been the subject of debate around the world. Scientists and theorists from the field of computer science are constantly searching for a system that can simulate the capacity and behavior of human thought. In recent months, AI has also entered the art sector, shaking minds and catapulting the world of creativity into a new era. It is precisely in this historic moment of great change that Krunoslav Bedi, a contemporary Croatian artist and poet, decided to exploit these new tools to implement his research. Coming from years of experience in the information technology and communication fields, the artist decided to bring his writings, including poems and prose texts, to life precisely through the use of AI. Written language, in the artist's view now almost completely neglected, becomes a source of magic, fused together with this new tool. In his work we encounter the most diverse subjects, involving expressive languages ranging from the figurative to the abstract. In the work '[AI ART POETRY] [DAYDREAMING]' we see how his poem 'SANJARENJE' ('Daydreaming' in Croatian), takes shape before our eyes The text, together with the work, takes us into a moment of daydreaming, made of nature and love. A brief moment of fragility before the peace of the oneiric, where no rules prevent our mind from creating beauty. And this is how the unpredictability of AI becomes something mystical and fascinating, where the artist's mind can free itself and hover, leaving space only for words full of emotions, which can now transform and make visible what would otherwise have remained intangible to the reader Krunoslav Bedi takes us on a journey of new beauty and meaning, where his unconscious visions can only be perfected once they reach our eyes.

The concept of a rabbit that has existed from nothing is intriguing and can be interpreted in various ways. The artist can choose to depict the rabbit as a mythical creature or as a representation of the cycle of life and death. The rabbit's love for life and its enjoyment of all its facets can be illustrated by showcasing the rabbit in various settings and situations, such as relaxing in a beautiful garden or indulging in delicious food.

The artist can choose to create a realistic, hyper-detailed illustration or a stylized, cartoonish one. The possibilities are endless, and the final product is limited only by the artist's imagination and skills. In conclusion, a critical text digital illustration of a rabbit that has existed from nothing for a long time and loves to enjoy life and savor it in all its facets would be a fascinating piece of art.

Laura Francesca Polino

“Art is an internal flame that burns until it explodes through colors to convey emotions and I am absolutely convinced that the current world has a great need for art, in all its forms, to return to the original beauty” (Laura

Francesca Polino)

Laura Francesca Polino's abstractionism is the pictorial representation that elevates human's spirituality, capturing that inner, spiritual aspect and communicating it through the chromatic element. Hers are very sensitive representations of the phenomena of nature or personal reflections that emphasize an idealizing component. Laura introduces us to a selection of works that tell of experiences resulting from the observation of self and other, and of what surrounds us and produces spiritual pleasure. Laura eschews the representation of real objects and uses a visual language of shapes, colors and lines with the aim of creating a composition that can exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world, free from the illusion of visible reality. Polino detaches herself from the representation of reality to enhance her own feelings through forms, lines and colors. Her works are to be understood as the result of the encounter between man and the world, in an alternation of empathy, that is, approach to reality, and abstraction, that is, rejection of reality. Fundamental is the combination of emotional charge with self-expressive intensity: her art is a journey that travels the path of her feelings, Laura in fact defines art as an inner flame and has the ultimate goal of communicating and conveying emotions to those who observe her works The RGB SKY international art exhibition hosted at the M A D S international art gallery introduces Laura Francesca Polino who presents her three works: Parmi les étoiles is "Inspired and felt like a journey into infinite space, where every star finds its light to always shine...." Moon's lights has as its muse the moon and "the phases of the moon that often influence the phases of life, thinking spiritually. So she wanted to express and honor the queen of the planets, who illuminates all our nights, with this painting"; finally, Le phénix "is the pure symbol of rebirth and for Laura it was one of the first works to return to art after so many years. Because one can always be reborn...and come back from the ashes to fly again..."

Leigh Witherell

A therapeutic way to deal with your own emotions is to look at them by means of creating art. Different art-making techniques can bring up different ways of feelings, as well as ways to explore and cope with them. A sort of mutual interaction and reaction that pushes you to introspect and heal. Particularly for traumatic experiences, making art is a way to grief from pain and a way to reframe pain by visualising it. For the artist Leigh Witherell, this therapeutic approach to art is of a central role in her practice. Due to a personal traumatic experience involving her daughter, Leigh explores her pain with different art techniques, each of them investigating different parts of the process of losing a child.

Leigh Witherell

For this exhibition, Leigh proposes artworks from her series called Emotional Deconstruction, in which she interprets the aftereffects of a traumatic loss. It is straightforward how grief is the recurrent theme: dull and dark colours dominate the colour palette, while the characters are depicted as either crying or numb. The sketched figures are left without colours, becoming transparent, in the same way, the person absorbs the loss and becomes without absorbing the loss, in the process of reconstructing the psyche. Leigh takes us together on her journey of grieving and healing, while pushing us to reflect and acknowledge the tough path that a parent has to go through for a loss of a child, and how art can be a therapeutic tool that helps with it.

Trying My Best

Leona Franca

Reality often follows rational laws, canons, we see it all around us every day. Chaos frightens, order seems the only solution. And yet in history there has always been a voice that resonates differently, that of the artists. One of the most effective medicines against the dust of everyday life and rationality is art. Art has always helped us to escape from everyday reality, to lead us into parallel universes, where reality and imagination mingle Pablo Picasso, who disintegrated the image of the world with his art, knew this well, creating his own unprecedented reconstruction, above all, of everyday life. Leona Franca knows it well. With her collages, she tries to take from the world what her sensitivity filters through and reconstruct her own, personal images that can be an artistic manifesto. In her works there is no lack of poetry, and cut-out words embrace the images and give them softness. What is most poetic is the choice of phrases with the images, a choice that seems totally random but which is not random. Leona wants to send a message, she wants to manifest the need for what is poetic in art. The cropped images seem to be the most important details of the overall image, such as the eyes, or details of the body. The cropping does not disturb; on the contrary, it is harmonious and gives the total image a sense of artistic freedom. The overall images seem to want to give a single message: compose your world as you like, take from each context and situation what most moves and corresponds to you, then compose your collage, don't forget the poetry because it will save you.

Lidija Commeça

In video art works, visual reproduction is structured as a type of vision of reality, or rather surreality, dwells mainly on the masking character of the images, which at times becomes preponderant to the point of anamorphosis. The autortrait using video as a medium can appear as if shrouded in an aura of mystery and seems to seal incomprehensible secrets and enigmas The resulting dreamlike images appear as visual manifestations of deep desires. The artist, without truncating the image or selecting a single portion of it to make it unrecognizable or anamorphic precisely, manages to deprive the body of its finiteness and elevate its forms to a timeless beauty. The body contains the same aura of immortality and eternal beauty as sculptures in the classical age, while being in motion and in contemporary urban space. These artworks reappropriate the irreverence of the gaze typical of art, at times divertissement, at times a moment of metaphysical reflection. This forced placement of the artist's bodily presence in contexts that are different and similar at the same time, stands as an idea of infinity, of outside of time, which can lead toward a truer and more fair world. An invitation to follow in silence, not to place resistance as the very act of resisting. The pursuit of happiness.

Perfect Disease

Luly Santos

The state of matter (or state of aggregation of molecules) refers to a conventional classification of the states that matter can assume depending on the mechanical properties it manifests (solid, liquid, gaseous and plasma). The works of Luly Santos, a contemporary Mexican artist, explore the changing of these states, giving rise to an expressive language that extends from the figurative to the complete abstraction of the subject. Most of her paintings are enveloped in earthy colors and gold, stretching across the surface unpredictably, letting fluidity move sovereignly through space. In the work 'Coincidir', the composition brings to mind the gaseous matter of galaxies, in fact, swirls of color rise up towards the top of the work, merging and giving rise to new shapes and hues.

“Not he is great who can alter matter, but he who can alter my state of mind.”

(Friedrich Nietzsche)

Luly Santos

The gold leaf contributes to creating an aura of mystery and magic, also reminding us how much this metal can transform and be used, depending on its state of aggregation. A different approach is taken in the work 'Bella Naturaleza', where the language is decidedly more figurative. Here we see the profile of a young woman surrounded by luxuriant nature: the colors are soft, tinged with a delicate green and a light pink, while the roses around her face stand out in their intense red. The material here is rougher and denser than in the previous painting, without however abandoning the use of gold. What accompanies the entire artistic production of Luly Santos is certainly the deep connection with nature in all its aspects, right down to the microcosm in the world of molecules, to take us back to the origin of everything.

Magnetic Artwork

The figuration of the artist and DJ Magnetic Artwork, moves in the sphere of fantastic and surreal painting, which while distancing itself from the re-presentation of the gift, manages effectively and powerfully to express thoughts and reflect on reality. The pictorial language that the artist uses to transpose tales and meditations on canvas is transposed to the canvas with a technique that allows the chromatic effects to modulate dry of the expressive needs, atmospheres and symbolic values attributed to the representations. In his painting, there are formal and chromatic values congiungi to an original and surreal depiction and aggregation of elements. The surreal images, invented by the artist's creative imagination, so rigorous in their formal layout and sharp in their colors, thus manage to excite us and force us to evoke deep questions. The whole has a strong emotional impact, but even the details capture us; they are part of a construction of fantastic and suggestive situations that address us as if they were a rebus, inviting us to decipher it, going beyond the contents of the color balances.

“It is only when we are no longer fearful that we begin to create”. (J. M. W. Turner)

Magnetic Artwork

We see a world that looks, imagines, reproduces, changes and conveys emotions, focuses on the symbolic aspect of the contrast between space and matter, where the branching of lines in space propagates in all directions and creates a contrast with the large dark shape that stands out in the center of the painting. The beauty unleashed by art continually offers us new horizons that it is difficult not to surrender to it but to allow ourselves to be carried away by the vortex of emotions; these are aesthetic emotions that is, emotional responses. It is we who look at the image, but it is also the image that looks at us. And that is what Magnetic Artwork's canvases do; they look at us and take us elsewhere. He manages to create a kind of diary of feelings and emotions that through art is unleashed with a visual narrative of life experiences.

Marco Capolongo

“The energy of the mind is the essence of life.”

(Aristotle)

Marco Capolongo is a contemporary Italian artist whose artworks arise from complex digital work, creating metaphysical worlds where light and darkness struggle in an attempt to find an impossible balance. In a language as much related to the figurative as to abstraction, the artist gives life to turbulent subjects, dense with contrasting emotions. Bright colors repeatedly alternate in space, enveloped in deep blacks, making the visual experience conflicting for the viewer. In the pieces "Is not the world in emergency", "Thought. Ambition. Desire" and "Soy Fuego", we see how reds, blues, yellows and greens emerge violently from the dark background. The flat color fields make the image two-dimensional and very geometric, cancelling all space-time references and throwing us into a parallel universe, entirely governed by the artist's mind. Influenced by American Pop Art, Marco Capolongo often expresses a nonconformist attitude towards today's society and the principles that govern it, letting art be the vehicle of his thought and often making irony his travelling companion. His works conceal the frenzy of a society whose values have been raped over time and the artist's unease in adapting to a rapid change that is impossible to stop. Marco Capolongo's art is a container of emotions, which like a diary carries personal experience in its densest intimacy. That space in which the artist can feel free to be and exist without limits, a stream of consciousness where everything seems to make sense. That white space that, for this exhibition, we at M.A.D.S. Art Gallery have called RGB SKY.

Marek Borkowski

"I was born in a thunderstorm, traveled through dry oceans, and walked a thousand miles through dead forests. [...] I want to show others that no matter how horrifying your past life has been, you are free to be your true self no matter what they may think or say"

(Marek Borkowski)

Explosive energy, impulsivity, and immediacy are just a few words to describe the works of the artist Marek Borkowski with impact. The artist manages to show the grotesque of life without hesitation, without shame but above all without fear. it is an act of courage and impulsiveness, a demonstration of the awareness of being free to express oneself, free to be oneself, despite life's problems, despite what others may think of you. The splashes of color follow the outburst of its author, of the need to express oneself. The predominant chromatic tones that return in several works are yellow, red, black, and white, of which the latters are sometimes the background, sometimes strokes. With "Darkness!!" and "Fire dance!!!" we are faced with two paintings whose spaces are completely full and rich enough to perceive and feel the presence of the author. Instead, in "Self betrayal..?" we get a quieter and less chaotic sensation. Does this last work illustrate the void or perhaps the very liberation of having shown oneself in one's entirety, and perhaps for this reason a betrayal of oneself?

Maribel Rivera

Born In Bogota, and living in Bucaramanga, Maribel Rivera is a visual artist with a Fine Arts university degree, and her artistic journey is about expressing herself through abstract paintings. Color is the main part of her creative process, she uses and blends colors in a way that provokes emotions, her artworks consist of colors layed on the canvas in a rythmic way that tells a story and seems like a visualization of music. The artist Rivera prefers classical music, Gregorian Chants, Jazz, and Bossa nova, but also the human-made sounds that not only accompany her; but also the music from nature, like whale chants, wind, and sea sounds among others, are also part of her creative process. The gathering of color and music at a meeting point allows her to represent with more expression and freedom in many canvas sizes, and when she listens to the rhythms and harmonies from musical instruments, the voices, and nature her sensory perception is activated, where the emotions from her inside world manifests itself with the external world that surrounds her. Her artworks are a pure pictorial melody that invites the viewer to listen to and admire.

Marta Tagarro

The daringness to portray constant change. Marta Tagarro presents “Purple Enlightenment”, “Smooth” and “Underwater” for the “RGB SKY” Mixed Reality art exhibition at M.A.D.S. Art gallery. “RGB SKY”, a place for a wakeful imagination. React fast and be thorough. Three alcohol ink artworks carry the responsibility to depict a starting point, nature’s caress and the boldness to pursue change. Dare to stare a blank space, go round, it flows, hold still, stare, drop, hold, react quickly, nature will not stop for you. Be wakeful of how it makes you feel to be wanted in perpetuity. The artist performs reactions on paper eagerly fulfilling the promise of embracing constant change. Marta Tagarro’s starting point is “Purple Enlightenment” where circular forms bind purple memories as the pulsation of future. Nature caresses are being held tight by “Smooth”, it is a moment where green tones acknowledge the golden fluidity of beautiful pink tones. “Underwater” is a call for boldness, where cool and warm tones live in harmony with light and darkness. Dare to embrace perpetual change.

Matoi

Art, in all its manifestations, is the highest human expression of creativity and imagination and is the only moment that allows man to externalise his inner self. The meaning of the word 'art' cannot be defined unambiguously and absolutely. Its definition has varied from one historical period to another, and from one culture to another. There is a universal language of art, known to all men, which takes shape and visibility through artistic and spiritual research This language binds past, present and future through a sentiment inherent in all men of all times in all places A common feeling has been found among all artists, that of the motion of creation, which starts from the artist's centre and points directly to the emotion of the user, to the heart. The similarity and reuse of the same forms are most likely given by the universality of the inner artistic language, common to all. Every artist proceeds on an inner quest, in a way, a spiritual path, consciously or unconsciously. In every art form in every place, artists follow the same path, in different ways due to cultural and temporal differences, but towards the same end. Matoi, in his artistic research, uses and enhances clearly recognisable elements. His entire production is, in fact, characterised by the presence of large, saturated blobs of colour that enter the representative space with great expressive force. At times, the chromatic matter is so great that it occupies the entire pictorial space; at other times, the colour leaves room for the void, for the whiteness of the sheet as if the latter also had an expressive value. And so it is that, in Matoi's works, chromatic plates come one on top of the other, mix and get to know each other, producing works of high expressive value. The stroke is fast, the colour is spread first with flat backgrounds and then with quick, scratching gestures To all intents and purposes, each patch of colour presents its own representative autonomy and, in light of this, each patch of colour presents its own soul, its own essence and pours it out into the world. The compositions that characterise the artist's works can be regarded as true multi-cellular organisms, each having different colour elements with different functions. The clusters of colour, sometimes more geometric in shape, other times with more natural profiles; they only reach their maximum expressiveness if they shine with the light of the stain next to them. As if they could not exist on their own, in Matoi's works the composition lives and expresses its expressive power through the multitude of sign and form, through the heterogeneity that unites to become a single organism.

Meg

Michelangelo Merisi, known as Caravaggio, with his work 'Basket of Fruit', highlights all the wonderful facets of still life, understands them and exalts them. In this way, the natural theme is placed on the same level as the human theme, the great stories of the gods or saints. The flower, nature and what is connected to that world is no longer a simple decoration, an elegant means to enrich a work, it now becomes a real theme and its treatment varies according to the artists who analysed it, it varies according to their way of seeing art and life. The flower is tinged with various shades just as various colours adorn nature. The flower, a symbol of vanitas, represents the fleeting nature of life, the elusiveness of time, the desire we all share to live forever and the memory of what is inevitably waiting for us. The flower reminds us of the beauty that fades away, the wonder of the fading years. Meg's artwork presents the idea of a fleeting passage that might instead become eternal, of a beauty that might not fade. An ideal place where admiring nature can be an everyday practice inseparable from the very idea of existence. A utopian landscape that takes its cue directly from within the soul to shape where anything can happen.

Michael W. Surber

Michael Surber is an experimenter, playing with artistic media and succeeding in representing an extremely broad spectrum of perceivable and unperceivable reality. Michael represents flowing energy, continuous becoming, human emotions, color, matter. Surber moves in a very versatile way from a focus on subjects to one on pictorial matter, from poetic to rock, from thought to action. Therefore, on the occasion of the international art exhibition RGB SKY at M.A.D.S. international art gallery he intends to show three different facets. He continues his tale among the many facets of his great personality. We all remember Juliet's Balcony, Slut Lust and Bottle Caps and Broaches: today we understand that Michael's fields of interest are even broader, our artist can be gentle, he can be scratchy, technical and with great mastery he masters the figurative side of art as well as the abstract side. He links up with the pop tradition with Be a Man "This started as a section of wallpaper. I had asked my daughter in law Hailey Roberts and her vinyl company HR Design to make me a piece of vinyl in the shape of the annoyed face, because I kept reading the words on the wallpaper and felt the bombardment of words would just be frustrating until the man would just shout out “Now Piss Off”. Michael expresses himself unfiltered, a common characteristic in all his works is the search for truth, in all its forms Out of Focus "was done with heavy body acrylic paint and painter’s knives I wanted a thicker texture to the piece I also wanted it very colourful without detailed form. In that way, the main focus could be anyone and everyone could see something of themselves in it" The truth in this work is in the sense of the search for artistic matter; finally, his latest work the truth is in the essence and multiplicity of becoming. Evolution "holds a special place for me. This piece was made with pour paint and the colors blended so beautifully, that every time you look at it, you see something new and different. So the piece is only limited by your own imagination."

Mihaela Ioachim

"My inspiration are my thoughts, my conversations, images that stick with me and also my dreams, nightmares and the music I listen to."

(Mihaela Ioachim)

Pharmacist by day and artist by night, Mihaela Ioachim mostly experiences abstract art in her artworks, but we can notice fragments of realism and expressionism. For the second time, she participates in an international event held by the M.a.d.s. Art Gallery called RGB SKY. In the six magnificent works exhibited the artist interprets her thoughts and feelings by translating them into galactic worlds between surrealism and reality.

Art Curator Angela Papa

Mihaela Ioachim

These are spaces conceived by the combination of lively and vibrant chromatic tones, with decisive and compact strokes. Through these works, we are transported to other worlds, far away among distant galaxies, where paintings such as "Among the stars" and "Lost in space", albeit with distant styles, fully capture this feeling. On the other hand, "Universe of my dreams", an example and expression of the artist's pure abstract experience, makes explicit the surreal intention of these imaginary spaces.

Mimi Rimonda

Fed on innocent things, with little, always ready and eager to fly, to fly away, this is my kind: how could there not be something of the birds! Especially since I am the enemy of the spirit of gravity , as the birds are: and I am its mortal enemy, its archenemy, its enemy for ever! [...] He who will one day teach men to fly, will have moved all the boundary stones; they will all fly into the air for him, and he will give a new name to the earth, christening it the light. Nietzsche, with Thus Spoke Zarathustra, tells of the archetypal desire of the human being, to soar through the air, to move at will, to challenge the force of gravity and subvert its dictates.

Mimi Rimonda

Mimi's video art works, could be without any doubt illustrative video apparatus of the above-mentioned thought. In an intensely present and luminous background we witness a flight, we witness the realization of a common dream of humanity and art. Presences, like signs or bodies, are seen moving freely in space that could be as airy as liquid, these forms move, perform turns and dances choreographed by themselves and the motions of time They move apart, they come together, they meet, they separate. Everything happens in the incessant flowing of the artistic loop that allows for practice, relentless training in the enjoyment of one's own lightness, the realization of a dreamlike goal, the possible attainment of the promised land.

Miyazono

Miyazono is a Japanese digital artist who devotes himself to illustration. The rendering of his artworks is extremely realistic because, as the artist himself says, "I was attracted by the people I meet in real life and I draw them with a slightly cartoony face in order not to lose the illustrative quality". At "RGB SKY", hosted by M.A.D.S. Art Gallery, Miyazono presents three works. "Awake my potential" portrays a man in the foreground and half-light, with an intense gaze and green eyes. He is completely wet as if he has just emerged from the water: for Miyazono, this represents the ability of some people to emerge from dramatic or difficult situations, while many remain at the bottom, unable to emerge. "Envious" represents a very elegant young woman, dressed in light colours and carrying a large bouquet of coloured flowers that enhance her grace and sensuality. Her gaze is turned downwards, as if she is incapable of expressing or noticing the beautiful things about herself. However, the light on the bust and the modest flowers on the arms indicate that this person is indeed able to grow a little. 'Narcissist', the last work exhibited, again depicts a young woman dressed elegantly in what appears to be a domestic setting, while, somewhat bored, she talks on the phone while munching on food. The artist describes her as narcissist but at the same time “funny”, and he wanted to express this in the way she keeps even a lock of hair neatly combed, wears her clothes well and has her own politics, calculating hands, gestures and eye contact.

Mozoon

The abstract art of Mozoon's paintings becomes the means capable of inviting the viewer to reflect on their feelings and to discover new creative perspectives. In the surprising works "BASIC", "BLUE" and "SOFT" the artist allows his audience to grasp an unusual and innovative concept of artistic expression."BASIC" is a work of art characterized by the shades of blue and yellow, colors that help create a calm and peaceful atmosphere, inviting the viewer to contemplate the thoughts of the subject hidden within the artistic work. However, the energic contrast between the artwork and the outside world creates a sense of tension and conflict, which helps the viewer to remember that sometimes the simplest things in life turn out to be the most meaningful after all. Thanks to its significant visual impact, the painting is second to none. The work entitled "BLUE " , on the other hand, conveys a sense of satisfaction to the users, thanks to the use of blue and its wide range of shades that animate the work and give depth and consistency to the canvas. The overall effect of the artistic work is unique, in fact the piece of art persuades the viewer to question himself on a new reality freed from the order and rigidity that often characterize paintings on canvas. Lastly, the artwork entitled " SOFT " captures the essence of a force that is expressed in the vulnerability that often distinguishes the life of the human being. The delicate shades of pink refer to a mental and ethereal peace and call the viewer to reflect about life's challenges. The technical ability of the artist Mozoon makes her today one of the most promising painters in the contemporary art scene.

Nicholas P. Kozis

Nicholas Kozis is a skilled and experienced artist in the world of art and graphics. His career has led him to acquire and deepen his talent for drawing. Copying from life is the technique that best expresses his skill. Sinuous bodies with soft and extremely real shapes combine perfectly with fantastic, original and more instinctive backgrounds. The colours he uses are bright and dynamic, often contrasting with the harshness of the black outlines. Nature, in all its forms, reigns supreme in all Nicholas' creations as if to emphasise that it is the force that governs the laws of the world.

Nicholas P. Kozis

The themes that the artist deals with are innumerable and varied. For most of his creative processes, Nicholas starts by observing the reality around him and then reworks the images with bright colours but maintains contact with reality through the outline of the figures, which is extremely precise and delineated. Despite treating different subjects, the artist's style is unmistakable. The contrasts between light and shadow, the disruptive colours and the impeccable drawing are a characteristic that Nicholas constantly reiterates. Through his compositions, he tells enchanted stories with protagonists and settings that allow the viewer to fully immerse himself in the magic of art.

Nicola Morea

From the beginning of his history, man has tried to use color for all its expressions. Color has always played an important, if not fundamental, role since ancient civilizations and is a tangible testimony of the art and psychology of peoples And today nothing has changed, because color always guides us in various aspects of our life In art the visual element of color has the strongest effect on our emotions. For this reason, the artist Nicola Morea has decided to focus his latest collection of works on color, calling it Flow Art 4.0. The artworks, of which we see three stupendous and significant examples here, are a clear investigation around the so-called Fluid Art, or that art that essentially focuses on the use of color. Precisely thanks to color, the artist creates worlds, evokes landscapes. Every single nuance evokes a memory, an emotion. With these works Nicola wants to give us his personal vision of today's reality. The technique used is the perfect metaphor of our daily life: everything changes so quickly, it flows inevitably before our eyes, every slightest disturbance can completely change the overall vision; every single detail, every single nuance contributes greatly to creating the image of the world and always giving us a new vision of what we are observing. However, in these works we have also represented the contradiction of our time: speed vs reflection. The speed of execution of the works, a peculiar characteristic of the technique used, a symbol of the speed with which our society travels, contrasts with the long preparation of the color and the elaboration of the thought behind the work, of the message to be transmitted, which represents instead the long reflections that each of us stops to make, if he observes the world and begins to reflect, for example, on what the future awaits us, but above all the new generations. Faced with Nicola's works, each of us cannot not feeling attracted, by an almost magnetic force, by the movement of colour: we feel transported, inside, flooded by the flow of colour, which already becomes a flow of emotions at first glance, to finally transform itself into a flow of thoughts that they remain indelible in the mind. The power of color is evident in these works: every colour, every nuance, every gradation, every combination unleashes an emotion in us, a unique sensation that leads us to investigate a different part of ourselves. Art and Life are interconnected and the artist, with his works, gives us the keys to understanding.

“Our life is a work of art. To live it as the art of life demands, we must, like every artist, whatever his art, set ourselves some difficult challenges. We must attempt the impossible” (Zygmunt Bauman)

Oceania

Oceania grew up in an artistic environment and her predilection for painting is evident. Her style is unique, there is nothing like it because even with some technical imperfections, Oceania is able to shake the viewer by infusing them with strong disruptive emotions. In her creations, it is amazing how a artwork with a seemingly simple subject matter is able to give emotions. Oceania pays the utmost attention to the creative process, which must be spontaneous and energetic, fleeting and quick as life. In the artwork 'Apocalypse', a magnificent, almost theatrical set design manifests itself. Clouds surround an almost surrealist, strongly emotional landscape. The colours are striking and exactly expressive, like the technique used. In 'I breath dead', the artist deals with the theme of repression. The brightly coloured canvas creates a contrast with the pungent theme of great topicality. A deafening pain that cannot be seen but can be felt, right down to the bone. The colours shimmer as if to draw attention to human rights, a canvas that tells of humanity. In the artwork 'The skylapser of the soul' Oceania expresses the intimate pain of every living being. The metaphorical skyscraper makes its way into the soul of the viewer in a disruptive way. A building that symbolically connects heaven with earth, the creative world and reality.

Patrícia Abreu

Patrícia Abreu is a Brazilian artist who registers new perspectives of the world through her eyes, new elements to be discovered, explores new imagery meanings, covered by history, affection and exploration. In her creative process, an artist addresses reconstruction in memory by exploring possibilities of creating images that are narratives full of affection, family and landscape. Works from the series "Time Capsules Series" and "Solar Wind" shown here are representations of these discoveries that the artist presents using supports and languages such as macrophotography. "What if Mars blew sparks from water?" It is part of a scientific research, the influence of photography in reserved spaces and a deep restlessness, arising from the subjectivity of life, the richness of life's complexity, the immensity of the planet, and her spontaneous fascination with these mysteries. “The most beautiful and profound experience is the sense of mystery (Einstein, 1954).

Patrícia Abreu

The work displays red and blue elements common to water, waves, bubbles that waves make, natural phenomena that refer to this immensity impossible to capture by human hands. Patrícia has a long career in production and research in the audiovisual and conceptual fields. Her second work on display also "Time Capsules", a series consisting of Macro Photographs that capture landscapes from the past, with photographs of blown glass that awaits her father, creating a graphic response to the story he lived It is notable that Patrícia Abreu's photography contributes not only to the detailed, unusual and dreamlike visual perception of objects, but also to the symbolic perception captured by her lenses. Its dialogue between proportion and volume allows the viewer to embark on a new reality of details, of the smallest, of what is unnoticed by the eyes. Her work expresses her desire to celebrate the beauty and mystery of the visible and invisible world.

Patrick Wenzel

The artist Partick Wenzel has always dealt with various forms of artistic expression. In 2020 he begins to experiment with abstractism by expressing himself. Art thus becomes a refuge and at the same time an outlet where to catch the breath and move away from everyday life. The paintings represent the thoughts and feelings of its author expressed through splashes of colors. From a distance, we can grasp the artworks in their entirety, and the images as moving and transforming entities. However, only by getting closer, the beholder can notice the details of the combination of the chosen colors and the artist's bold strokes. The chromatic tones are vivid and sometimes soft, there is harmony between them and continuity of nuances, underlining that there is an intention in their position and that the represented image is not only the result of impulsiveness. Thus, the artist's intention becomes not only to express himself but also to involve the energy and creativity of the public in the act of interpretation of the artwork, seeing the latter, in a certain way, not just as an artwork but as an artistic experience.

"Feelings are colors and colors are feelings. To the painter colors are the way to deeper selfawareness and open new dimensions, strengths and resources ” (Pertti Ahonen)

Autumn storm, Blue chaos, Hurricane, Waves of energy, Waterfall, five brilliant canvases, bringing light, energy and movement at the international art exhibition RGB SKY hosted at the international art gallery M.A.D.S. Pertti Ahonen gives us five glimpses derived from the power of nature. Our artist's source of inspiration comes from the power of nature: the common reference that links the images to the source of inspiration. This leaves room for the viewer to create his own personal scenarios by taking as hinges the colors used on the canvases and the energy that comes from the agitated, stormy, contrasted, tormented movement of Ahonen who decides to reproduce the power of nature. Emotion and action painting. The artistic current in which our artist fits, as we have ascertained in the past is afferent to abstractionism, that abstractionism that takes as its reference the world perceptible with the senses and represents it internalized; essentially Pertti represents the internalized perceptible. The artist applies in art what in philosophy is called the Copernican revolution of knowledge applied by Kant: it is not human knowledge that regulates itself on the nature of objects but, on the contrary, it is objects that regulate themselves on the nature of knowledge. Perceivable objects adjust themselves to the structure of the human intellect. In the same way, Pertti's works take shape in the minds of observers in infinite interpretative possibilities, guided, however, by the vibrations, energies of selected colors and movement, Pertti communicates with the observer on a level above rationality, the spiritual, visceral level.

Pia Dressler-Theis

"Every portrait that is painted with feeling, is a portait of the artist, not of the sitter" Pia Dressler-Theis uses a quote from Oscar Wilde to describe one of the three works presented at the M.A.D.S. International Art Gallery in the RGB SKY international art exhibition. It is the work Mr Fox which appears alongside Chimpanzee "to this painting belongs the poem by Rainer Maria Rilke: dreams that surge in your depths..." and Women's head "courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. Amelia Earhart."

Strong words, although taken from the literary and poetic repertoire, to describe the three works. In this there is the beauty of Pia's polychrome art, the decisiveness of the inspiring concepts, and the expressive power of her highly communicative and empathetic style. The delicacy of the caress of a feather lies in the sensitive soul of the artist, and the decision of the ink writing is her decisive vein, her messages behind her portraits of the animated universe. Pia is absolutely unique in the current art scene. Her artistic influences, her masters, are evident and belong to the currents of post-impressionism and expressionism. We recognize Pia's brushstroke well, this time it is her brushstroke that characterizes the three works. Large, decisive and dense backgrounds, color is the protagonist of the works, Pia's application of color evokes Gauguin's cloisonnisme, a painting technique of spreading colors over the painting in vast homogeneous backgrounds enclosing them within the limits of sharp outlines, a vision centered on flat areas of intense color. Pia's art invites inquiry, has moral significance and creates an emotional connection with the viewer through the gazes of the subjects.

Rea

Life is not a path that guarantees us happiness. Uncertainty, instability and suffering are conditions inherent to its path and we will cope with them better if we can anticipate and prepare for them No one is immune to suffering, which is why it is essential to learn how to manage it, otherwise darkness may devour us Dealing with blows and healing wounds is not an easy task, we cannot always count on the best support, tools or strategies and, even so, sometimes we do not know how to use them. Some people cope better with disappointments or setbacks; others allow these to take over their state of mind and, finally, there are those who decide to protect themselves in order to put a limit on suffering. The method used will affect their daily life in one way or another. Each of us has our own armour, our own defence mechanism, our own personal shield to protect ourselves from pain. It is normal. One way or another, we have to protect our most delicate part and make ourselves strong in the face of possible threats and setbacks. Rea, putting colour and form in the service of her 'Kawaii' imagery, examines and analyses the relationship between interiority and exteriority, producing works with an edgy meaning but sweet and tender characters. The dichotomy between the depth of the subject matter and the candid, cute beauty of the girls portrayed is one of the cornerstones of her production. It is as if the popderived imagery that occupies her works somehow clashes with the dark and profound meaning of her art. And yet, most probably, it is precisely this contrast that produces in us a marked fascination with Rea's works In 'Hikikomori', a girl with big blue eyes stares at the viewer Her attitude is nervous and perhaps fearful The curled-up position and the action of biting her nails are a sign that something is bothering her right now. Two broad reddish bands are revealed below her large eyes. They are dark circles that accommodate tired, shiny eyes. The reddish hue is emphasised and at the same time clashes with the landscape in which the girl is depicted. In fact, she stands against the backdrop of an ocean filled with seaweed and jellyfish swimming around the work's protagonist. All of a sudden, that feeling of superficial happiness that intoxicated our eyes at the sight of such a pretty girl gives way to sadness and disappointment. Now we understand the reason for the dark circles under her eyes and her uncertain position. Now we understand what lurks within the girl's soul, mirroring the environment in which she is portrayed. She lies at the bottom of a dark abyss from which it is difficult to rise to the surface. The deep meanders of her soul are difficult to overcome and, according to the girl, making her suffering known to the world is not permissible. The kawaii armour that envelops the soul of the work's protagonist protects her from the outside world and the stares of other people. Face the demons or ignore them. Are we sure that wearing an armour is the right choice?

Roberta Comacchio

(William Shakespeare)

Layers of delicate veiling characterize the artworks by Roberta Comacchio, a contemporary Italian artist, leaving the viewer suspended in time. Her artistic research stems from a deep interest in poetry and literature, with a particular focus on the work of William Shakespeare. Part of her paintings are, in fact, inspired by some of his most important writings, including Hamlet and Macbeth, transporting a concept of tragedy revisited in a modern key into our present. The technique adopted by Roberta Comacchio is indeed influenced by a symbolistexpressionist language, very close to that of Franz von Stuck and the subsequent expressionist movements of the first decades of the 20th century, blending on canvas the elegance and delicacy of Art Nouveau, together with the intensity and strength of color typical of Expressionism. The depiction is delicate and the shaded subjects barely emerge. Faces and evanescent bodies move in space, as if enveloped in dense mists, making the surface iridescent, giving the eye a vibrant feeling. In the work 'Oracle', for instance, we see a pale face with closed eyes that shows itself in all its beauty. The almost unreachable details are lost in a blue cloud, immersing the observer in a mystical and silent atmosphere. The color spread on the canvas with a series of textural strokes, makes the surface uneven, creating a sense of depth, as if the face were concealed behind a sheet of ice. The whiteness of the skin, the dense mists, the veiled subjects, are all characteristic elements of Roberta Comacchio's work and are meant to take us on an introspective journey, into a distant and slumbering dream, difficult to reach and understand. Indeed, as the artist says: “Painting is a bridge between the known and the unknown”.

“At the root of all power and motion, there is Music and rhythm, the play of patterned frequencies against the matrix of Time. We know that every particle in the physical Universe takes its characteristics from the pitch and pattern and overtones of its particular frequencies, its singing. Before we make Music, Music makes us.” (Joachim-Ernst

Berendt)

Imagery of the mind. Translation of emotions into colours, shades, and textures. The images of the artist Sabina T. come to life as a reflection of her inner instinct for creation. Every detail of her works is a way to express and synchronise with the sounds of her soul. Colour after colour, note after note, she builds beautiful compositions that are synesthetic reflections of her soul. The artist creates a collection of these moments that are grouped under the name of Nada Creators. Nada is the sound that harmonises the artist’s senses with herself and with the rest of the world. Nada is about connecting and sharing; we only have now. To live, to enjoy, to create. Nada is the sound of everyone, the sound of the world, Nada Brahma. Therefore, Sabina T. wants us to connect to the sound of her creativity and to embrace every sound, every vibration that is translated into Nada with all its colours, textures and patterns. Nada brings to life the beauty of the world.

“When I paint, I am driven by a subconscious desire to live life in the purest form while sharing my feeling with others. This feeling drives me to add elements of stories, surrealism, fantasy, intellect, science, imagination, love, life, and many more into my art.” (Sandeep

Soni)

"When I paint, I am driven by an unconscious desire to experience life in its purest form and to share my feelings with others. This feeling drives me to add elements of stories, surrealism, fantasy, intellect, science, imagination, love, life and more to my art." Sandeep Soni presents part of his collection at the RGB SKY international art exhibition hosted by M.A.D.S. art gallery. Sixteen works of which eight are part of a series. Sandeep Soni possesses great skill in selecting and combining subject of the work and colors. In this way he succeeds in expressing a higher reality that possesses a dreamlike component, made up of the irrational and the dreamlike. Sandeep unleashes the imaginative potential for the attainment of a cognitive state "beyond" reality (for this he fits in the wake of surreal art). Starting from common objects, sharp and real images, which he places in bichromatic or monochromatic backgrounds, he gives access to what lies beyond the visible. Sandeep is an experimenter, not just a painter, he enjoys all forms of art such as playing guitar and ukulele, designing graphics, editing videos, practicing yoga, creating origami objects, photography, cooking, traveling, reading, doing everything, doing nothing and essentially art in any form. With his works he goes to investigate the hidden aspects of art that fit our lives, inspirations and passions. Desert Line is an overhead view of a desert, reflecting the hues of golden sand and dunes.

Sandeep Soni

The monochromatic image demonstrates perspective, giving a unique and vibrant feeling of seeing the same object, contrary to traditional views. On Wine Dare, the artist states "A reservoir of mysterious fluid rises up and creates three wine jars containing three different types of fluid. One is an elixir, one is a poison, and one is an unknown fluid. The art challenges the viewer to choose the wine according to their perception, knowing that it can be any of these fluids." Red in the green shows the perspective in which red roses stand aside in the deep green but retain their charm. It signifies the strength of our charisma, which makes us maintain our hold in unfamiliar and unfavorable domains. Charisma comes from the desire and effort to demonstrate our natural characteristics, which make us stand firm even in the most difficult situations. Bow and the Arrow is an abstract depicting three pictorial concepts in a single frame. When viewed from a predefined perspective, it represents a bow that serves as a dome for a city, protecting it from the outside world. The arrow serves as a symbol of defense. When viewed from a default perspective, it represents an arch that serves as a dome for a city, protecting it from the outside world. The arrow serves as a symbol of defense. When viewed from 180 degrees, it represents the bow as a boat and the arrow as an anchor for the ship. In this case, the arrow serves as the primary tool for holding the boat in difficult terrain.

Sandeep Soni

The painting depicts a variety of perspectives, depending on the observer and the context. It shows that it is not what we see that is absolute, but it is the other possibilities it brings that define the observation and the context. Another guitar on the wall is inspired by the artist's guitar, the Harley Benton Custom Line CLP-15ME LH VS. The inspiration expands into an imagination in which the guitar is placed near the wall and gives the feeling of being waiting to be chosen by the guitarist. The placement of the colors, the geometry of the guitar, and the choice of the strap all contribute to a lure whereby the guitarist cannot help but walk toward it, pick up "another guitar on the wall," and immerse himself in a world full of colorful sounds. Smashed is an abstract that addresses the feeling of something being shattered. One interpretation is when our ego, lust and dark desires are crushed against the canvas of reality; it brings us back to the reality they no longer control. The purple storm depicts an imagination in which the mysterious nature of the storm favors the struggling subject. Purple adds to this surreal feeling as the boat sails toward the cloudy cliffs. Endless desires shows a world of infinite desires, where the deeper we go, the more the desire grows. Even though we are far from the end and surrounded by the mysterious surrounding vortex, we do not want to stop because we are driven by the desire to see where the END ends. The work depicts emotional, physical, materialistic and many other aspects of desires that drive us to learn and live. Finally, the artist presents us with the Light Love and Life series, eight beautiful still images that are united by the thread of light, but also take on a life of their own.

Sandeep Soni

The series, precisely, shows the journey of a key element of life, light. Light makes a long journey through space, time and gravity, interacting with various elements. It reflects from mountains, oceans, man-made buildings and devices, the mysterious object in thin air, scientific devices and ornaments, and reaches a new life. The mysterious object in nothingness bends light, which in theory only a black hole in nothingness can do. The inverted prism converts light into a spectrum of colors before converting it back into white light. In this way, the light is cleansed of the dark part and the element of purity is reinserted. The ornament on the female earring shows a heart adding love to the light before it reaches a new life. The message of this artwork is to illustrate the priceless nature of light, nature, love and life, which must be recognized, respected and protected. It is important to understand their side of the story to understand how light, love and life make a long journey through the depths of time and space before becoming what they are to us. Taking them for granted and showing an ignorant attitude in protecting them defies the basic philosophy of being human. We protect the light, love and life around us.

Sara Tonelli

Sara Tonelli is a self-taught artist who gives herself the possibility to be guided by her feelings, her emotions and everything that surrounds her while creating, escaping from reality. This is how ‘Galaxy’; ‘Explosion’ and ‘Oxygen’, the three paintings exhibited at M.A.D.S. Art Gallery during the ‘RGB SKY’ Art Exhibition, have been realized. The three scenes represent a sort of journey around the atmosphere or the Galaxy itself - as the first painting is titled - into which an Explosion gives birth to life that will not exist without Oxygen Sara’s art is minimal but at the same time with a deep and clear meaning that attracts the viewers’ gaze On a white background, that becomes less visible passing from a canvas to another, some spots of colors take advantage of the scene just as the natural elements (oxygen) and catastrophes (explosion) do, giving a dynamic and fluid movement to the canvas. The light and the colors used, are representative of Sara’s aim to reach the viewer's attention that is struck by the contrast between the bright light of the background and the dark of the red and blue spots of colors, ending with black hues occupying the foreground.

Sara Usai

"Mandalas are magical mirrors of the present moment of our journey, they give form and colour to our majestic inner dance, as infinite as eternity, swinging closer and farther from the edge of the circle, moving inwards and outwards and passing lightly over our soul, asking only for openness and space to see the light shining, the wheel turning again" this quote by Maureen Ritchie describes Sara Usai's work very well This artist uses abstractsymbolic art to express her inner world. Sara mainly uses mandalas as an artistic instrument of knowledge. Her work focuses heavily on the circle, in different shapes and colours. Her paintings mainly express feelings, as well as emotions. As Marina Cvetaeva says Thought is an Arrow, Feeling is a Circle. To restate the phrase, the arrow is thought, Sara's circle is feeling. In her mandalas she imprints her feelings and emotions, but in reality those of everyone.

Sara Usai

Through these geometric and colourful shapes, she expresses peace and order. An order that is more than rational, an order that expresses joy, freedom of movement, embrace, harmony. Through these geometric and colourful shapes, she expresses peace and order. An order that is more than rational, an order that expresses joy, freedom of movement, embrace, harmony In the work 'feto', the gestation of a foetus in its natural cycle is represented, in the mandala circle the various phases are depicted. The painting has a calming celestial background, and seems to encapsulate this symbolic moment of existence in a calm harmony. In the "start", on the other hand, we see an explosion of colours in the mandala, leading up to a dark centre with various golden symbols. Everything in his work follows a thread of emotion and thought, nothing is out of order or left to chance. Sara throws her vision of the inner and outer world onto the canvas.

Simon Du Vent

The portraits that the artist Simon Du Vent exhibits at M.A.D.S. Art Gallery during the RGB SKY exhibition, are the representation of a hidden story that is told by the use of colors chosen. The artist is familiar with colors and his ability in choosing them is associated with a special meaning. Close to the Expressionism and the Fauvisme artistic style, Simone Du Vent uses brilliant and colorful backgrounds into which a female portrait with a clear and significant expression, is refigured. ‘Allongée’ and ‘Elfida’ show, in their individualism, a personal emotion that is perfectly represented by their looks. ‘Allongée’, as the title itself explains, shows a gaunt lady with a sad and empty expression, whose face covers the whole canvas from the bottom to the top Her yellow eyes and red mouth are the only elements that characterize and give her an emotional essence On the opposite side, with ‘Slow’, the artist has tried to immortalize the sombre searching gaze of a boy in his headscarf moved by the wind, giving to the piece a sort of dynamism that is also reflected in the waves drawn on the textile. Staring back at the viewers’ gaze, the man shows a static presence that contrasts with the whole painting. With the same attentive gaze ‘Elfida’ presents herself as a firm and determined woman. In this case too, the deep brushstrokes give movement, conferring to the scene a positive and luminous essence that shows the artist his curiosity that increases out of all proportion.

Tetyana Anderson

“Phaos is waiting Phantasia”. Tetyana Anderson presents “Dolphin Fantasia”, “Wind Rider” and “Modern Ukrainian Girl” for the “RGB SKY” Mixed Reality art exhibition at M.A.D.S. Art gallery. “RGB SKY”, a place for a wakeful imagination. From the concept of the exhibition: “Aristotle stated that phantasia (imagination) is always in motion activated by a sensation. Sight is the main sense, the name phantasia is derived from phaos (light). Imagination is what occurs when we sense an image”. Tetyana portrays light embodied as natural creatures in order to create a world of her own. We perceive light to observe images, we imagine from them, we create with them. We transform them into memories. The artist creates her own characters with decisive brush strokes where cool tones prevail. The two first artworks are known creatures. The third one, is invitation to perceive thoughts. A dolphin, a wolf and a girl. Three characters carry the responsibility to start a new world. “Modern Ukrainian Girl” you are being witnessed as a free creature in the new world that is becoming right now as you are reading this. Light waits for imagination. It is your creation. Embrace it and rejoice.

Thorsten Boehm

Thorsten Boehm (Hamburg, 1974) is a visual artist and freelance illustrator for renowned clients, trade magazines and agencies. He prefers classical painting and graphics and their various techniques and mixed forms of expression, in particular work with the airbrush, with which he portrays people with all their facets, investigating existential themes and the mystery of being human. He also likes to be inspired by myths and fairy tales or ideological or pseudo-religious ideas from different cultures and eras of human history. The driving force behind his work is the glaring discrepancy between the dreamed-up image of a world worthy of striving for harmony, beauty and innocence and the reality often encountered in the form of violence, alienation and abuse. At “RGB SKY” exhibition hosted by M.A.D.S. Art Gallery, Thorsten presents six artworks. "Blonde Shadow" depicts the iconic image of Marilyn Monroe looking at us with a sensual and graceful gaze, while the stars and flowers around her face inserted by the artist enhance her sense of diva.

Thorsten Boehm

With a completely different rendering is “Der Kindersoldat” which represents a teddy bear, symbol of purity and innocence, children's toy par excellence, holding a rifle: the sense it conveys is extremely distressing. "Imprisoned minds" depicts a young woman with a sad and troubled look, tears running down her pale face. Her head is encircled by stinging barbed wires that strike her forehead: the title of the work is therefore eloquent. Of the same genre is “Prinzessin der Mahnwacht”, which depicts a little princess girl with a very sad and gloomy look. Surrounding her head is not a crown with precious stones, but a series of bullets looking upwards; adding to the sense of desolation and alienation is the paradoxical crucifix that serves as her necklace. In “Raum des inneren kindes”, a child is once again portrayed in a bare, poor and dirty environment, very softly portrayed praying on their of the painting. The last work exhibited is “Schlaf kindlein schlaf”, in which a young girl is portrayed holding a puppet in her hand; what makes the whole thing surreal and alienating is the wolf's snout, with a distressing and terrifying outcome.

Schlaf kindlein schlaf

It is said that, in reality, we touch nothing. Our skin and clothes have never been able to make contact with anything around us. When we sit in a chair, we are actually floating; when we caress someone, we are not directly touching them. It may seem something strange, our sense of touch clearly perceives the differences in texture, temperature, density that a given element inherently presents. So where does this assumption come from? If we try to change our perspective, imagining, for example, that we are wandering in a world made up of tiny elements called atoms, we can see that these elements, in fact, never touch each other. There is a vacuum between them and between its parts, there seems to be air between the different parts that make it up. If, at the atomic level, matter is not as dense as we have always thought, the same applies to the things we can see in our world. Hence, the consequence is simple: we touch nothing and nothing gets touched. This happens precisely because of that vacuum which, in reality, is not a vacuum but a repulsive electromagnetic force exerted between our atoms and those of the object, a force so great that it creates a gap between us and the rest of the world. It is easy to think of the forces and bonds between atoms when looking at Tom's work. Small, threadlike point elements settle within the compositional space, creating real worlds and atmospheres.

Tom

Always remaining within the world of the invisible, these small elements cluster together to create a swirl that smells of life. 'Cells' is an agglomeration of delicate, transparent cells heaped on top of each other. Some are duplicating, some are quietly going through their life cycle, some are going through apoptosis. What unfolds before our eyes is a teeming mass of life in shades of orange and blue. It is like looking at matter under a microscope, it is like looking with new eyes at what we have never seen before. Tiny dots combine with bulkier elements and threadlike elements curve and arch according to the movement of life. Tom's art is an invitation to observe the substance of things, to see their component parts and to discover that then, the infinitely small gives form to the infinitely large. 'Mountains' is proof that whatever we see is composed of imperceptible elements, impossible to detect with the naked eye. The silhouette of mountainous reliefs rises up, occupying a large part of the composition. Violet elements are juxtaposed with pink and fuchsia dots, contrasting strikingly with an extremely bright yellow and blue sky. Our gaze went from the infinitely small to the infinitely large in the blink of an eye, reminding us that Tom's art, with its round, threadlike elements, has the capacity to represent any visible element in the world, touching even the invisible and emotional.

Toshiyuki Mori

Picasso had claimed that it took him a lifetime to learn to draw like a child, while Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Bernard talked about doing childlike painting. During Romanticism, then, boyhood was about to become a value; in the Sturm und Drang movement, in fact, art was seen as a great communal experience, understood not only as an object of the highest spiritual enjoyment and the only path still open to the perfection of the person, but also as the organ by which humanity recovers lost innocence and secures possession of nature and civilization at the same time. From being a promotion of creative spontaneity, children's art thus becomes a kind of stylistic model. One is thus able to discover the true origin of unconventional art, not supplanted by the intellect, but pertaining to the unconscious, a source of emotion and free expression of feeling. With Toshiyuki Mori one is able to tap into a reservoir of imagination shared by all people, his forms and colors find easy recognition in everyone's memory, the subjects seem to float in the dense and concentrated air of memories having to do with the utopia of dreams. The feeling from which we often flee comes to present itself as a dancing carousel of pure feelings and primary images.

Umi

Umi gives us another participation on the occasion of "RGB SKY", exhibition organized by M A D S Art Gallery, with a triptych of artworks that present aesthetic and varied concepts In "My heart goes up", the artist puts at the center of all her heart, her own emotion. Feelings are one of the most beautiful things we can feel, and this is how they are represented: a throbbing and colorful heart, electrified, that fills up and that beats so hard to release waves around it. The colored contours and the lines pnlique in the form of lightning give us the idea that the beats are powerful and strong, as if they wanted to scream at all their existence. Colours too embrace this message, presenting themselves as bright and almost blinding. "Pop & Smile" is already, from the first impact, a crackling, colorful and exhilarating artwork Smiley faces, all cheerful, in motion, seem to clash and fill each other with positivity, alternating with red and green dots that, at any moment, could undergo a metamorphosis and turn into happy faces With these vibes from videogames like Pacman, the artist manages to convey joy and desire to put himself at stake until the smile. The desire and the right to be solar may seem in danger when we come across "Sun in chains", which somehow recalls the story of Prometheus, who stole fire from the gods to give it to men. Umi instead cuts out her own personal sun to have with her every day, recalling that burning desire already present in the first artwork. The artist Umi, in these three artworks, although different from each other, still inserts a common denominator: the power of feelings, in particular joy, reminding the viewer of the importance of listening to each other and believing in what you feel

Valérie Ghattas

Valérie Ghattas (France, 1969) is a member of the National School of Fine Arts in Dijon and a professional artist. After devoting herself to the link between painting and architecture, her passion extended to nature, to plants, seduced by the richness of forms. At "RGB SKY" exhibition hosted by M.A.D.S. Art Gallery, Valérie presents three artworks, all related to the natural world. "My work stems from observing nature and I extract the spontaneity of forms from them. I try to extract the very essence of my emotions in front of a landscape or the bark of trees, of a moment, of a lived experience”, the artist says. “Forest”, the first artwork exhibited, is literally a forest of plants on different planes: those in the foreground have a beautiful green colour, caressed by an end-of-day light; in the middle the plants are instead left in black and white, while in the background is a forest immersed in a thick fog that gives the painting a dreamlike and surreal sense. In "Imaginary Mountain", we also find this state of dream and unreality, with a mountain emerging from a flat background, embraced by a gentle but at the same time strong wind whose strength seems to be felt. “Terrarium”, the last artwork exhibited, is a small room in a cone-shaped display case in which plants, more or less large, all different from each other, grow. What Valerie intends to do with her beautiful works is to open up graphic and pictorial paths in which the viewer can immerse himself and invent his own visual journey. Entering a landscape as in a walk. Above all, as Valerie herself says, 'I want to allow the journey, the dream that everyone needs'.

Valerio Brignola

Desin Roche said 'You photograph what you look at: therefore you photograph yourself'. One seems to feel exactly that while looking at a work by Valerio Brignola. In his photographs he seems to imprint not only himself, and his way of looking at the world and stopping it for a second and forever, but also his thoughts about it, his reflections Each shot carries with it, this artist's decision about perspective, about his position in space while he was shooting. Every aspect, from the most delicate and unconscious to the most technical, seems to have taken possession of the photographed space. A breathtaking landscape seen from a castle, perhaps it would have been different to see it free, without the arch framing it, yet this photograph expresses an emotion that does not stress the eye but frees us. Valerio plays with perspectives and reverses a horizontal landscape that is mirrored in the water, in a whole that becomes vertical and therefore soaring towards the other, towards the sky but also the deep and unknown abyss. "Dreams in the form of coins lie and merge with the reflected sky and the cage that surrounds them" is how Valerio describes the photograph of the coins on the ground. Everything he photographs passes through his soul and his thoughts, and then reveals itself through a careful choice of light and position in space, before taking that click and making that emotion eternal. His works are warm, enveloping you in the search for every detail. Henri Cartier-Bresson said "photographs can achieve eternity through the moment". looking at the works of valerio brignola you take a plunge into the past and into his own and everyone else's future.

Vanessa Onuk

Delicate veils of color characterize the artistic research of the contemporary German artist Vanessa Onuk, enveloping the entire space of the canvas in evanescent and luminous landscapes. A play of colors that unfolds in a layering that is penetrating to the eye, where the tones merge in the transparency of the brushstrokes, giving life to imaginary and dreamlike worlds. In antiquity, although rare, the use of veiling was already known and used in Egyptian art and also in Roman art, reaching, in later epochs, to Flemish painting, and then to the Renaissance, where it was used to great effect by artists such as Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo and Titian. Vanessa Onuk's technical closeness to these great artists of the past, however, is exploited by the artist to reconcile with her childlike self, transforming art into a game, where she can once again feel free to express herself, abandoning completely to the creative act. Shapes and colors merge into each other, narrating the feelings of childhood joy and taking the viewer on a journey through time. The work 'Eclipse', luminous and iridescent, is composed of warm, earthy colors, which seem to narrate a sunset on the horizon, immersed in a myriad of reflections and nuances, which annul space-time. Visions that evoke gentle and fascinating emotions, where waves of color break in the light, directly in front of our eyes. Vanessa Onuk wants to remind us how important it is to give voice even to our child "I", too often suffocated, not listened to or even forgotten, allowing the light that belongs to him, to be released again within us and especially around us.

Yoko Sato

The world we observe is, generally speaking, governed by rules and laws stipulated by Mother Nature or, perhaps, the entire universe. There are things that are fixed, that have unchanging characteristics that we would never, ever dream of seeing changed. The sun, as we see it, is yellow, the sea is blue and snow is white. Colours are part of those immutable things that make us know and recognise the world for what it is. The grass in a meadow can never be blue just as the moon can never be green. The human being likes habit, appreciates the existence of fixed points in his life, and if he were to change anything in the physiognomy and colour of the aforementioned elements, all hell would break loose. Yet, are we so sure that everything around us is characterised by well-defined rules? Are we firmly convinced of the intrinsic nature of what we observe every day? The belief that the world around us always has recognisable and obvious characteristics is, once again, a sin of human pride. The sun is not yellow, it is we who see it that way. And the sea is not blue, it is we who see it that way and, to put it bluntly, the water of which it is composed is transparent. Having said that, nothing seems certain and everything is at the mercy of subjectivity. In reality, the outcome of what our eyes see is always a mixture of the behaviour of light in the natural world (refraction and absorption of certain wavelengths) and input that our brain processes as it sees fit. And so it is that, moving away from purely human vision, we discover new worlds and new colour nuances that characterise the everyday, making what has always been familiar and granite to us unusual. Like a reptile with infrared vision, we enter what appears to be a dense blanket of vegetation. At first, a feeling of disorientation pervades our bodies. The atmosphere is so dark that we cannot see anything.

Yoko Sato

Gradually, our eyesight acclimatises and we begin to discern the appearance of leaves and flowers one on top of the other. Sudden flashes of colour tease our vision and our eyes are overwhelmed by quiet green, pink and, in places, orange hues. What immediately jumps out at us, however, is the outline of the elements that make up this world. Like an insurmountable border, this clear line encloses the natural element and identifies it, giving it a recognisable shape. If 'Colors in Black' is the emblem of night, obscure to humans but perhaps not so impenetrable to other living beings, 'Flowers in Wonderland' is a chromatic jubilation that smells of spring warmth. The entire composition stands on a golden-yellow structure that touches every part of the composition and unifies the vision. Behind, beside and in front of it is the magic of colour. Explosions of colour bloom, illuminating our gaze and giving us violet, bluish and sometimes reddish sparks. What we have in front of us is a floral composition that breaks down, recomposes itself and is processed according to canons that differ from the rules of everyday vision. Indeed, one has the sensation of not looking at this work with one's eyes, but of perceiving it through touch, through smell and taste. The sweet taste of flower nectar, the warmth of the shy April sun warming our limbs, the sweet, heady scent of pollen tickling our nostrils. "Flowers in Wonderland' is a sensory vision that does not respond to the canonical visual rules. Yoko Sato creates worlds by combining nature with digital modification, she creates atmospheres where what we see does not belong to canonical reality but is the result of processes of decoding and assimilation of the image that we had never considered until now. If we pay close attention, the clues to this particular process are right there, in the works, in those parallel and horizontal lines that are hidden between the petals and colours of nature.

Yoshi

Sometimes we remain silent in front of a painting because we do not understand its message or meaning, and this is the perfect time to practice thinking about unusual aspects and perceiving information differently than we are used to. Art is able to push someone to think outside the box, and that is what Yoshi is able to do. We are programmed to discover mysterious things and often forget the essentials, a face that hides a story, a memory that can give rise to great revelations. A cage that encloses, not only a face, but also emotions, feelings, thoughts and words. If art gives us the opportunity to tell, trace a story and break through our emotions, it is also able to cage us. Every artist has a unique story and his or her creative soul is reflected in the works, the cage encloses the artist's feelings as it expresses hidden feelings, the period of frustration and inner reflection that Yoshi recently experienced is well described by his painting. The artist brings his visions to the canvas, which he enriches with feelings and thoughts. The work stems from a state of mind, in which the journey is the beginning of a new search, thus becomes an expression of a state of mind. The nature of the cage leaves no room for fantasy but drastically brings one back to lived reality; the artist puts himself in the painting, in the woman's gaze, as if it were the fruit of his suffering. Everything can be read in the gaze, a universe that is exposed without censorship or judgment but with an effort that seems to bring out the fantasy, expressing torment, anguish but also a sense of struggle and freedom. The stroke is simple and precise, the details are sharp and create a balance of chiaroscuro. Yoshi's work thus triggers us to reflect in order to better understand ourselves by being an expression of the hidden feelings in which we can all find ourselves.

The idea that art has a therapeutic value is very old: the history of the creative arts, in fact, has often been intertwined with that of mental health since antiquity Already the ancient Greeks attributed a cathartic function to theatre, which was used to release repressed emotions and regain a balanced lifestyle. The Greek theatre can therefore be seen today as a kind of 'art-therapeutic support', although it was only in the 20th century that the first steps were taken towards art therapy as it is understood today, thanks to psychoanalysis. Making art involves the individual in his or her mind-body totality. Creative activity in fact requires not only an intellectual and cognitive commitment - linked to imagination and the conception of the 'artistic product' - but also a perceptive, sensory and motor commitment, linked to artistic production in the strict sense. The techniques associated with art therapy thus have the function of bringing soma and psyche, mind and body into better communication, and to ensure that there is a more fluid and balanced, and therefore healthier, relationship between these two inseparable aspects that constitute us, too often experienced separately. In this sense, art and artistic expression are good for the creator and the user. It is as if, within form and colour, there are hidden therapeutic intentions that are made available to those who feel the need. Yuji, with his art, performs a cathartic act by processing his experience and the experiences that have marked, willy-nilly, his life Catharsis as purification from evil, distillation of the destructive element to create something constructive and highly positive "Life-Yuien' is just like that Born at a particular moment in the artist's life, the work is a hymn not to let go, not to abandon either one's body or one's soul in the face of life's difficulties. 'Life-Yuien' is a cry to get back up and ask for help or to make it on one's own two feet. A powerful chromatic beam invests our eyes. Above a backdrop of orange and golden pigment, a multitude of multi-coloured elements are represented. Orange, blue, violet, pink, green and white. These are the colours that light up our eyes and are travelling towards us at an incredible speed. In a flash we are hit by these splendid rings of light as if they were inviting us to regain confidence in ourselves and in the world, as if they wanted to help us rise to the surface, taking us out of the deepest, darkest abysses. Yuji listens to his heart, examines the feelings and events of his life and injects his feelings, his soul and his heart into his works. In this way, he has accomplished catharsis, processing what has happened and reconstructing it in a positive way. We too, observing his works, can glimpse that glow of hope and positivity vibrating in the bright colours that set his works ablaze.

The face is the most obvious body part of a person. Face-to-face conversations take place every day. Perception of faces is one of the first skills that develops after birth, a useful ability that allows a child to have information at hand to interact with others and to move around in the social world as he or she grows up: one chooses whom to love, whom to trust and who is guilty of a crime based precisely on facial expressions. Understanding the emotions underlying an expression is an important goal since many people communicate and expect to be understood through specific configurations of facial muscle movements, and each of our expressions tells something and above all sends a message to those who observe us: this is the importance of facial expressions, one of the many body languages that consists of modifying a person's face. Facial mimicry works as a consequence of a sensation that we really feel and that is reflected on the face, changing its expression, or when we, though not feeling it, want to replicate that sensation, 'mimicking' it with our face. Through her works, Yuzuki invites us to linger on the slightest variations of facial characteristics in order to literally communicate with the individuals depicted in her works. In this sense, one of the most emblematic works is 'Continuous projection', in which six different faces belonging to six different people are represented. Small characteristic elements distinguish a face from above. Some people have a mole on their chin, some on the side of their eyes. Some have long, black eyelashes, others have sunken eyes. In any case, each face is different from the other not so much in its physical features as in the facial expressions with which they are portrayed. Minimal and almost imperceptible changes characterise the faces of 'Continuous projection'.

Some have the corners of their mouths turning upwards, some show a faint smile and some curl their lips in boredom or disapproval. All these feeble variations are emphasised by the highly limpid and simplified colour and formal rendering. The face is just a face. There is no hair, no neck or hint of dress. All these people seem literally identical, except for minor differences in facial conformation and mimicry. This sense of candid, archetypal equality is emphasised by the use of a few but effective colours. A warm shade of white colours the background and faces stand out against it, flooded with pink and reddish pigment. They are lively, sanguine faces, reflecting the intentions of those depicted. The highly effective contrast between the snow-white and reddish colouring can be found in many of Yuzuki's other works. 'Crack of dreams' is a prime example of how this colour pair manages to breathe life into the work. In this case, facial expressions are limited to the mouth -closed and with a fish still between the lips- and the eye. The extremely surrealistic character means that we cannot immediately perceive the feelings and emotions of those portrayed. And yet, thanks to the juxtaposition of extemporaneous elements and the accentuated contrast between the redness of the face and the whiteness of the backdrop, one has the sensation of being frozen in an atmosphere outside of time, where everything is muffled and poised between dream and reality. Yuzuki, thanks to her masterly technique and her ability to represent human intentions through limited gestures and minimal colouring, creates real talking works that, thanks to their expressiveness, manage to build a bond and a discourse with the viewer.
