Ally Bee

“Humans may be suffering in silence, yet a glimmer of happiness may come to their face when surrounded by colour in a space. I pollinate the art world with peace and joy.” Ally Bee

Ally Bee, a gifted artist, unveils her captivating collection at the Chromosomart exhibition held in the esteemed M.A.D.S art gallery. With a distinctive emphasis on the concept of "flow," Bee's three artworks, consisting of two paintings and a photograph, harmoniously unite under this thematic umbrella The first two paintings, "Create Your Ripples in Space Time" and "Find Your Balance," effortlessly capture the artist's profound focus on the graceful movement of lines and circles. In these works, Bee masterfully employs a technique known as raking, creating intricate circular patterns reminiscent of the undulating ripples caused by the motion of water. One can't help but be entranced by the celestial base of "Create Your Ripples in Space Time," where the circular raking blends seamlessly with a celestial backdrop. The other piece, "Find Your Balance," features a vertical raking technique, set against a vibrant green canvas. A captivating curve stretches beyond the confines of the frame, suggesting a continuous flow that extends both spatially and temporally. The materiality of Bee's paintings plays a significant role, as it not only adds depth but also contributes to the architectural structure of her pieces The texture created by the raking technique adds a tangible dimension to the artworks, enhancing the interplay between light and shadow. It is within this intricate interplay that the viewer is invited to explore the artist's architectural landscape, where the fluidity of space intertwines with the dimension of time Time, indeed, emerges as a central theme throughout Bee's artworks, including her third showcased piece, "No One Steps in the Same River Twice." The evocative title encapsulates the essence of the photograph, which captures the gently rippling surface of a creek. Dynamic patterns and reflections animate the watery expanse, reminding us of the transient nature of our experiences Bee's exploration of time serves as a poignant reminder that life is an ever-changing sequence of moments, in which adaptation and embracing the flow become vital for personal growth The artist's DNA, her artistic essence, lies in the concept of "flow." Having witnessed her father's battle with dementia, aphasia, and Alzheimer's, Bee experienced the frustration and confusion that arose from the inability to communicate with him. This profound personal journey has shaped her artistic expression, leading her to recognize that life is a series of waves, and that we must actively heal and seek our center in order to navigate the next chapter with grace and resilience Ally Bee's artwork emanates a profound sense of joy and tranquility, a testament to her ability to pollinate the world of art with her unique perspective. Her creations invite us to embrace the fluidity of existence and find solace in the harmonious dance of life's ever-unfolding currents

Antonietta Grimaldi

Antonietta Grimaldi, nicknamed "the genius of color," presents herself as an artist who embodies the keyword "color" in her artistic DNA Her art fits within the abstract art movement, yet Grimaldi distinguishes herself as an outsider of abstract art, deviating from established rules to solely follow her creative instinct. At the Chromosom@rt art exhibition held at the renowned international art gallery M.A.D.S., Grimaldi showcases three works that tell her unique visual story. "Point" and "Serenity" are dynamic pieces where lines, dots, and patches of color merge to create vibrant movement and a sense of dynamism The artist skillfully plays with different shades, allowing colors to meet and collide, thus generating unique forms that translate emotions, beliefs, and a personal worldview The energy unleashed by color becomes Grimaldi's "Mirror of the World," her aesthetic language manifested uncompromisingly, detached from academic rules, expressing her lived experiences, emotions, and thoughts in a unique, unrepeated, and original way. Grimaldi shares her vision of art with the following words: "My purpose is to create a penetrating and unique image in the mind of the viewer, embedded in time, as if suspended within us: an unforgettable experience, outside of history but always present in the memory of those who observed it." For the artist, art is the ultimate form of communication, a result of a free and liberating act of creation, in which she shapes reality from her perspective, never neutral, to convey the meanings she finds within herself. It is an intimate form that allows Grimaldi to create an original vision, connecting with the viewer at the moment of experiencing her beautifully crafted creations. The viewer, in fact, upon observing the works, comes into contact with the artist's soul and derives meanings different from those intended by the author herself. Grimaldi's propulsive force resides in color, with its energy and diversity, enabling her to express her personality with complete freedom and breadth Through color, the artist untangles the knots of her thoughts and experiences, erasing her certainties and unleashing a broader energy and order Like a droplet dispersing in a wave and merging with the vastness of the sea, Grimaldi embraces the freedom of artistic expression to communicate her inner world. It is within this fusion of energy and freedom that the artist invites us, the viewers, to find our own freedom in expressing ourselves. Antonietta Grimaldi is an authentic voice in the universe of abstract art, an artist who embraces the chromatic power to create a vibrant dialogue between her soul and the world Her pursuit of the essence of color and her ability to convey deep emotions through her abstract painting serve as an invitation for us to explore our personal freedom and immerse ourselves in the limitless flow of creative expression.

Ashley Chase Ferguson

Ashley Chase Ferguson is an artist who expresses her creativity through intuitively and expressively crafted paintings. Her versatility is reflected in her ability to create landscapes, abstracts, and portraits with a loose and blended style, allowing for a sense of personal freedom. Employing various materials such as pastels, acrylic paints, pencils, and charcoal, Ferguson brings her drawings and paintings to life. She occasionally incorporates mixed media elements like gemstones, modeling paste, or even mirrors. In her current exhibition, Ferguson presents three distinctly different artworks that evoke various artistic movements. "StreetMaps" alludes to abstract art with its geometric figures and a red circle reminiscent of works like László Moholy-Nagy's "Composition A II" or Wassily Kandinsky's "Nel Blu." Simultaneously, there is a clear reference to the color field painting style typical of abstract expressionism. The primary colors are black and white, with hints of red and blue, each conveying symbolic meaning and creating a dynamic and engaging atmosphere. "Tranquility" captures the essence of impressionism through its portrayal of a tranquil sea at sunset. The contrasting colors are stunning, featuring a multitude of shades of blue, red, and pink. Ferguson skillfully captures the interplay of light and its impact on the surrounding environment, imbuing the artwork with a sense of peace and serenity. Finally, "The Gardens at Cinque Terre" also invokes impressionism. Created with pastels, the artwork exudes an ethereal and timeless aura. The trees are depicted in a somewhat chaotic manner, suggesting the richness of greenery and nature. In the center, a path appears to lead toward the distant sea, capturing the essence of the gardens of Cinque Terre. Ashley Chase Ferguson demonstrates technical mastery and a profound understanding of different artistic styles. Her artworks convey emotions and pique interest through skillful use of colors, evocative compositions, and personal interpretations of subjects

Candi Soul Sparkles

Candi Soul Sparkles is a young Icelandic artist, with various origins (a bit Irish, French, British). Candi Soul Sparkles is greatly evolving her artistic style, while retaining her salient and recognizable traits. She is able to immerse us in shapes and colors always different, giving us a way for thought about our being and the world around us. With a very strong sensitivity, which characterizes her as a person, she wants us to rejoice, to make us emotional, to overwhelm, to make us reflect, she wants to make us better by watching her works. And he succeeds perfectly: with a technique made of joints and overlaps of forms sometimes stylized colorful, adding to this her poetry. In the exhibition Cromosom@rt in M.A.D.S. Art Gallery she participates with four wonderful paintings that summarize all of herself. In the first painting "Figment of my imagination" (2023) she breaks down a female figure with a showy floral hat in stylized geometric shapes and reinserts it into a space of lines, shapes, colorful flowers, in warm tones of orange, pink, red. It gets a harmonious composition that leaves space for a great imagination. The imagination of Candi Soul Sparkles that created it intersects with our imagination.

"Sometimes words aren’t enough. And then you need colors. And shapes. And emotions"

(Alessandro Baricco)

Candi Soul Sparkles

In "Inside my view" (2023) Candi represents a box within which there is a vase of large and soft colored flowers: around the box there is a frame with large brushstrokes of dark color and intense orange: the idea is that of a picture in another picture: or is it a view of a window imagined by our mind that manages to capture emotional sensations that go beyond material reality? Candi’s third painting is "In the Mind Of A Crystal" (2023): it is a composition of sinuous lines and shapes and the great protagonist is color. In fact you can see a great contrast between dark and bright tones of the entire color range, with a very high saturation. The result is a real visual explosion that makes the soul vibrate. Ingenuity, imagination, energy are once again the cornerstone of Candi’s emotional technique. Even more impressive is "Reflexões Nativas Da Minha Alma" (2023): here, besides the bright colour, the imaginary interpretation of a tribal figure is added. In a picassian way, once again Candi breaks down the image and recreates it according to his artistic vision, gives color and enhances the emotional part. Candi is a very versatile artist and her goal is to involve the viewer with a unique and inimitable identity.

Dolphin Brown

The entire artistic journey of Dolphin Brown, an American contemporary video artist, is deeply connected to a spiritual path. Her most recent project "Elemental Reflections" aims to explore the profound impact that the four elements - Earth, Air, Fire and Water - have on our daily lives and on our journey of self-discovery. This artistic series combines the wisdom of earthbound spirituality with the elemental forces, offering a path to connect us with our inner self. With this series, the artist seeks to illustrate how the four elements are intricately intertwined with our existence and to explore how we can tap into their power to guide us on our journey of self-discovery. It encourages the viewer to explore how embracing the qualities of each element can enhance their personal growth, intuition and connection to the world around them. "Elemental Reflections' wants to remind us that the power of the elements is not only present in the natural world around us, but also within us. The artist invites us to embark on a journey of personal exploration, embracing the guidance and wisdom of the four elements as we travel the path to self-discovery and inner fulfillment. Through this reflection on the elements, we are encouraged to explore how Earth offers us stability and solid roots, how Air inspires us and brings us mental clarity, how Fire gives us passion for transformation, and how Water teaches us to adapt and flow with life. This awareness allows us to develop a deeper connection with ourselves and our surroundings. In summary, 'Elemental Reflections' invites the viewer to reflect on the four elements and how they influence our lives. It encourages us to explore the inner power of these elements and to embrace their guidance in our journey of selfdiscovery and personal growth.

Dziuginta Didziokaite

“The artist’s world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep”. (Paul Strand)

Painting as an instrument of reality; the art of Dziuginta Didziokaite is divided into thematic areas. The work offered for the exhibition, has a strong emotional and mental charge, where it is possible to read realistic and flowing intent. The greens and browns dialogue to realize the meeting of the material and the nostalgic, an apple that becomes a spokesman for a radical change in which the importance of memories is made alive. Faded, forgotten memories but which, in one way or another, have characterized our experience. Dziuginta Didziokaite starts from here, from the images of childhood, reminding us that these have also been present in our society. From works that are on the surface figurative in nature, they are actually moral icons. Poverist and conceptual intervention may be the key to Apple, where the anthropic element is there and is perceived but only in the background, its presence is sensed by the hand that becomes an integral part of the still life. Light is the main element; it is she who offers the coordinates on which our gaze focuses. Here, it is here that poor art and conceptual art meet, and Dziuginta Didziokaite's style is evident in the construction and combination of color and figurative that make up the scene in simple and solid tones. The minimal, poor and essential intervention blends with the goal of realizing the idea of the landscape and not the landscape itself. Realism meets intellect, which Dziuginta Didziokaite knows masterfully to realize a suspended, eternal and mysterious environment. With a skillful use of colors, Dziuginta Didziokaite takes the viewer on a chromatic journey, where surfaces flake into volumes under the seamless effect of light. The idea of artistic intervention in reality and the tradition of landscape painting is realized with a simple intervention through new realities with a strong poverist charge.

Elisabeth Bard

Elisabeth Bard is an artist who draws inspiration from the texture, color, and patina of ancient buildings to create captivating photographic artworks that envelop the viewer in evocative environments. Her artistic exploration revolves around the passage of time, space, and environment, aiming to elicit an emotional impact on the viewer and provide a fresh perspective on the world. In her current exhibition, Bard presents three abstract photographs that transform objects and subjects into entirely different forms. "Bamboo I" employs a long exposure technique, with varying shades of green as the dominant color. The precise and vertical forms extend into depth, creating a fascinating composition. "Linen" offers a contrasting interplay of black and ivory white. The photograph appears divided by a rupture in the fabric, while the shadow cast from below introduces shades ranging from dark blue to gray, enhancing the depth of the image. "Temple Pillar" showcases a vertical composition, with lines and bolts extending from bottom to top. The alternating lines and bolts do not follow the same pattern. The colors of the bolts and the supporting structure undergo changes throughout the artwork, with an intense orange hue at the bottom gradually transitioning to brown, while the bolts shift from brown to yellow. Elisabeth Bard demonstrates extraordinary skill in capturing objects and subjects in a surprising manner, transforming them through her artistic perspective. Her abstract photographic works evoke emotions and stimulate reflection, offering viewers a fresh and unique vision of the world.

Hiro Hirotaka

Distance is a dimension that permeates our experiences, a complex concept that spans both space and time. It is a physical measure, but it also takes on a metaphorical dimension, allowing us to reflect on our existence and the connections we have with the people and things around us. In the spatial context, distance is evident in the thousands of miles that separate distant places. When we cross geographical barriers, we experience encounters with what is different from us, thus enriching our perspective of the world. But distance is not only a matter of space; it is also manifested in time. Human history is littered with past eras, vanished civilizations and people who lived before us and did things before us. Desiring to connect with the past allows us to literally discover new worlds, crossing the thresholds of the physically possible. Distance in time and space creates challenges in communication, but it also drives us to find innovative ways to overcome these barriers. This desire to communicate with distant places and the past is intrinsic to human beings because it reflects our innate curiosity, our search for connection and meaning. Through communication, we can transcend space-time barriers and make connections beyond our individual existence. Hiro Hirotaka, through his works, deeply examines the theme of communication between places and times far removed from his everyday life, and to do so he uses art, a universal language whose letters are images. He uses the motif of the seven gods of fortune to communicate with invisible deities, he creates the theme of the canoe to communicate with people he has recently seen, he uses the theme of the telephone to communicate with the past, with people who are no longer there. Finally, the cactus subject is charged with establishing a connection with people overseas.

Hiro Hirotaka

Through a rather peculiar technique, using acrylic paint and oil pigment that he drips into the interstices that form the outline of the image, the artist creates images deeply divided by a fracture that horizontally cuts the work in half. Each part of the work contains its own unique representation of the cactus going to create a mirrored representation but one that is, in fact, reflective of nothing at all. The plants, which seem to mirror each other, have the same formal characteristics, the same structure, the same structural conformation. Yet, although they look very similar, the two cacti seem to be composed of contrasting elements, of colors that are almost complementary. In a word: they are two different entities and so they must remain. Although the two cacti, like two souls, touch each other along this black dividing line, the two plants remain anchored to what they really are, without undergoing changes and mutations in their encounter with each other. They realize that they are very similar, that they have the same physical conformation and yet, in their souls they are so different, almost as complementary as the colors that characterize them. And therein lies the beauty. Neither cactus overpowers the other, and both realize that they are extremely similar, that they belong to the same species. Yet, just as it happens with human beings, each of them has its own uniqueness inside, its own soul that is completely different from that of the other as unique beings. These cacti, are just like us: we meet each other, we desire to communicate with each other, we assimilate new elements, new cultures and enrich who we are with new discoveries and relationships. Yet, our soul will remain as it is in that it cannot be changed. It is something unique and unrepeatable of its kind, and that is the beauty of it.

HITORI

HITORI is a Japanese artist based in New York and participates in "CROMOSOM@ART", the international exhibition hosted by M.A.D.S. Art Gallery, exhibiting three artworks belonging to the "Emotion" series. The works are three squares in relief made of concrete that creates a monochromatic surface, on which drops of resin fall in a free and uncontrolled way. The coldness of the marble, gray in "Emotion 3" and black in "Emotion_4" and "Emotion_5", is interrupted by the shiny resin flows that give a sense of unpredictability and therefore of humanity to all his works. “The concrete represents the human ego and the liquid part is emotion" the artist says. HITORI's creativity always starts from negative emotions: he hates the human ego, he is against killing people, animals and nature to improve our lives and his works become the way to vent this negativity. That is why he mainly uses concrete, waste wood and plastic: wood is a symbol of nature, and concrete is a symbol of man, as the largest man-made product on the planet. HITORI’s works also become real architectures, first of all for the use of concrete and then for the minimalist lines on the surface. Mainly inspired by Russian avant-garde architecture, which incorporates artistic elements into architecture, he creates small incisions on the surface that make a distance between the wood and the concrete. It is a message that says "there must be a certain distance between nature and man". Human beings should pay more attention to nature and HITORI’s works are born to convey this message.

Jamil Boudiab

Jamil Boudiab, a Lebanese artist currently residing and working in Dubai, is devoted to painting moments and images of everyday life in an Impressionistic style, seeking to capture the essence of these experiences. His artworks are imbued with serenity and portray scenes of ordinary life, rich with symbolism. Through silent spaces devoid of idealism, Boudiab communicates genuine emotions that touch the deepest chords of our hearts. In the exhibition CROMOSOM@RT, the artist presents three figurative artworks that evoke the aura and atmosphere of Impressionism, while also incorporating significant elements of realism. The three pieces center around a solitary protagonist, creating a sense of anticipation and intimacy. "Afternoon in Paris" and "On a Rainy Day" showcase a notable contrast: in the former, a female figure directly faces the viewer, while in the latter, a man gazes through the window of a venue, directing his gaze outward. The artworks are pervaded by a delicately somber and melancholic atmosphere, inviting contemplation of deeper emotions. In "On a Rainy Day," the attention is immediately drawn to the color red, which is softened by the light filtering through the window. The man turns toward the window, resting his left arm on a table and placing his head upon his hand, conveying a sense of inner reflection. In "Afternoon in Paris," an abstract background features chairs arranged horizontally around the central figure, who crosses her legs and rests her face upon her hand. The artwork creates an intimate atmosphere, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the silent and contemplative moment. In "The Meeting," various shades of gray dominate the composition The artwork evokes the ambiance of a venue, with a woman seated at a table in the background, facing the viewer. It conveys a sense of calmness and suspended time, prompting reflection on human relationships and fleeting moments that can impact our lives. Through his artworks, Jamil Boudiab creates an evocative atmosphere, capturing the depth of depicted emotions and offering a space for contemplation on the complexity of the human experience. His unique vision finds expression through painting, inviting viewers to engage in personal reflection and discover new nuances within everyday life

Justin Chan

If you could only choose three words to describe the six incredible works staged by the incredible Justin Chan for the new exhibition organized by M A D S Art Gallery, "CROMOSOM@ART - IL SEME DEL GENIO", would undoubtedly be love, harmony and fluidity. We all know by now the ability of the photographer, who never ceases to amaze us for his ability to transform objects, landscapes, everyday images into real visual jewels that, we can say, are really good for our eyes. Pastel colors, clear and kept, relaxing and perfectly mixed together are the undisputed protagonists, combined with angular geometric shapes in very few strokes, and instead soft, malleable, almost liquid. Let’s try to interpret them as a process. "SOME CALL IT L❤VE" expresses itself as a kind and delicate thought: these circles that mix, overlap, collide, resemble those butterflies in the stomach that move at the speed of light when we see our person But what someone calls love is also the merging with that person, the joining of many small points that you have in common, but also learning to find the meeting point to touch those that could not be more different. And shall we talk about how beautiful it is to declare oneself a fervent believer in love? Shouting to the world

"I’M A BELIEVER...", elaborating on what you are able to feel, to perceive that feeling that we all know, but that is difficult to explain. It’s no coincidence that writer Raymond Carver wondered what we talk about when we talk about love.

And, if "LOVE IS BLIND " , Justin Chan represents it well, with two eyes, they manage to steal all the attention In fact, that’s the sense: there are many colors in the artwork, many shades and many shapes, but everything takes a back seat to those two black circles. If before they began to merge, it is in "D CHEMISTRY OF L❤ VE..." that everything really gets confused, where the differences are seen, but they mix. "COME AWAY WITH ME..." shows the invitation to a higher stage. It looks like an invitation, framed in a postcard that, under the colorful hexagons, reveals a beautiful seascape. The water that arrives on the shore of the beach breaks the artwork, with a frothy, oblique line, as if it were coming out of its extraordinary half to get to the other half and break all the barriers that can divide two lovers And we conclude the circle with "SEND ME YOUR L❤VE " , where the love tried before also turns into request After all, love requires nothing but sharing In this cycle of love, undoubtedly one of the constants of Justin Chan’s photographs, love is declined in the most subtle and balanced forms, fluid because infinite and never arrived, silent and therefore more intense, because less exhibited.

Kei Dessert

Within the enchantment of the union between the art of calligraphy and color lies a profound mystery Calligraphy, with its elegant strokes and dance of lines, unites with color pigment, resulting in a visual harmony that goes beyond mere aesthetics. Calligraphy, in itself, is an act of creation and discipline. It requires patience and mastery in the art of tracing letters, yet when blended with color, it takes on new meaning. Color, with its vibrant presence, lends depth and emphasizes the expression of words, and in this union, the art of calligraphy and color intertwine like threads of a fine fabric revealing the complexity of human communication as words become visible forms, tangible manifestations of thoughts and emotions Calligraphy combined with form and color invites us to reflect on the ephemeral nature of the written word and its ability to communicate across language barriers. Through the fusion of aesthetics and meaning, it reveals to us the depth and complexity of human existence. The association between color pigment, form and calligraphy gives different outcomes to the artwork each time. The meaning of the latter is thus not written, granitic and unequivocal but rather acquires different facets each time it is discovered, thanks to the expressive power of color. In this sense, artist Kei Dessert creates works determined by a fusion of three linguistic elements by uniting the centuries-old pictorial calligraphic tradition with Western writing and painting, which is nothing but another universal language that has color and form as letters of the alphabet Three languages, multiple meanings that thus go to form a multifaceted work that conceals its true nature in the eyes of the beholder Those who know-even in principle-the Japanese tradition know well what the word "Bushido" means. Bushido is a concept that represents the ethical and moral code of the samurai, the warrior class of feudal Japan. The word, which literally means "the way of the warrior," is a set of principles and values that guided the life and behavior of the samurai. Bushido placed emphasis on loyalty, honor, discipline, courage, justice, righteousness and respect. It is a concept deeply rooted in Japanese culture, and although nowadays we are far removed from the feudal world, the echoes of Bushido are still reflected in Japanese tradition, culture, and way of living and relating. Kei, in his work "Bushido," layers the sanguine calligraphic line with chromatic rectangles with extremely defined contours It is as if, these chromatic elements, give pictorial meaning to the traced word The rigor, the discipline, the multitude of aspects behind the way of the samurai are all here, in this work where the geometric element is strongly present, unlike the others. To support our thesis, let us take as an example another work by Kei, "Gogh's Mario." In this case, a chromatic vortex is silhouetted before our eyes. It seems that the work is characterized by tongues of fire that, after their passage, leave blackish dots - scorched earth - that goes to define the calligraphic element. In this work, calligraphy and dense pigment merge in unison, creating a swirling blanket of color. Thinking of life, of the fiery temperament of the painter mentioned in the title is thus inevitable, even more so when the colors used-yellow and orangeoverbearingly refer to the Dutch artist's pictorial legacy Kei Dessert's works, uniting three different languages, preserve within themselves multiple lines of vision and have the merit - not taken for granted - of reaching directly to people's souls by going to depict, both in words and images, the meaning that lies within them.

Kiyomi Tanaka

Kiyomi Tanaka is a Japanese artist born in Osaka in 1951 who currently lives and works in Takarazuka. At "CROMOSOM@ART", the international exhibition hosted by M.A.D.S. Art Gallery, she presents three paintings. "Cape Chikyu Misaki" portrays a landscape where a lighthouse overlooks the Pacific Ocean in Muroran City, Hokkaido, a scenic spot with great views from its observatory. Kiyomi has mainly used shades of blue to represent the beautiful contrast between the white of the lighthouse and the blue of the ocean, painted in all its nuances and depths, to express the coolness of summer and the poetic nature of this endless landscape. "My dear child" depicts a mother holding her child in her arms against a dark floral background. The mother smiles gratefully and proudly, while the child, with a graceful grimace and curious eyes, is caught in all his tenderness with the detail of the index finger sinking into his cheek. The result is an extremely loving portrait of the mother's complete dedication to her child. "Silver Grass" represents a carpet of sooty pampas grass shining golden in the evening sun. Kiyomi's ability to realistically represent, through shades of orange, every single ear of wheat is incredible, as well as her ability to make the sense of the wind that touches them, so much so that it almost seems to feel it on our skin together with the heat of the sun which from afar illuminates this spectacular view.

I sometimes wonder whether all pleasures are not substitutes for joy. (C. S. Lewis)

Art is an inner place of continuous discoveries, daring enterprises and unthinkable goals of the mind and soul. Klekkso's creativity is as mutable as faithful to an ideal of inspiring authenticity, transporting the lucky observers into unexplored meanders of hidden emotions. With Euphrasia, the artist places before our eyes the face of an overflowing joy, which oozes vitality from every single brushstroke. The direct connection between representation and emotion is also partially indicated by the title, ("Euphrasia" precisely), a Greek term deriving from φρην (mind) and εὐ- (well): therefore, a mind projected towards positivity, which opens up as a colorful flower waiting to be admired. It should be considered that klekkso does not intend to depict a manifestation of joy in its outward forms, but to portray the very essence of joy. And he does so by drawing on his peculiar universe of fantastic shapes and figures, poised between the figurative and the abstract, which enclose the elusive nature of a feeling: the ineffability of emotions - albeit strong and intense - collides against the limitation of human words, which never manage to fully define its true foundation. Art once again makes up for the paucity of our language, and involves us in the contemplation of what is only apparently something common, to help us reveal its unexpected extraordinary nature.

Artists, like the Greek gods, are only revealed to one another. (Oscar Wilde)

“Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen ” . (Leonardo da Vinci)

Polish artist Małgorzata Slaga discovered her passion for art and painting at random, the result of an inner journey and awareness of its power, vibrations and creativity. The act of painting for the artist thus has a dual meaning, inner and outer; thanks to the vision of the spheres of light that revealed themselves to her inwardly, she was able to give it form, color and substance. She turned this vision into a sensation that was enriched by the pictorial act of discovery and enjoyment. The main and recurring motif of her pictorial action are the balls that take on different forms and meanings; in particular, the shades become the mouthpiece of the artist's emotions, her sensibility and her passion for art and painting. The circles are constructed by thin brushstrokes, which create the optical effect of an indeterminate confinement, making her representations increasingly colorful and visionary. Thus, through a clean and light technique, in addition to psychological introspection, artist Małgorzata Slaga, takes us by the hand to a place that makes sense only if it is observed as a whole and all the way to the observer, until we reach the center that corresponds to inner peace. Hers are circles, places without chaos, devoid of the confusion that characterizes our everyday life. Where matter loses its boundaries, shades take on density and motion becomes a metaphor for a place where our soul and body can find peace.

Małgorzata Slaga

The circle, with its matter helps in the metaphor that unites the soul of the egg with its physical equivalent. This feeling of peace and serenity the magic that any observer lost in his thoughts can find in the composition of his paintings. The painting of artist Małgorzata Slaga does not describe simple places, but rather translates real states of mind. They are a synthesis of a number of cues; we find the technique of the Impressionists, which invites one to look at the painting in its totality, as well as the metaphor of the Symbolists, where each brushstroke is a reference to another, creating a vortex of emotions. Moreover, it is possible to feel the movement of the sky and its clouds, which together describe distant horizons perceptible only through the eyes of the soul. Its circles can be interpreted according to a dual relative perspective. While time in its threefold facet conditions the subject, it is the artist herself who chooses the type of intervention. Her paintings report this dual choice by fixing on paper something that flows.

Malina Wieczorek

Malina Wieczorek, a talented artist who graduated with honors from the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow in 1996, presents her artwork "ACT-IDENTITY HECKING" at the CROMOSOM@RT exhibition. This painting is a captivating composition that stands out for its delicate chromaticity and extraordinary visual impact. The artwork unfolds through the skillful use of the main colors: yellow and white. These colors are examined with careful attention within the artwork, with shades and tones that emphasize their expressive power. At the center of the painting, a large abstract form emerges, capturing the viewer's attention. This form creates an engaging visual texture through the artist's masterful use of tools. Malina Wieczorek has used a significant amount of acrylic color to bring this central form to life, giving the artwork a tangible sense and tactile depth. The resulting texture sparks the viewer's interest, enticing them to explore every detail of the artwork. To add further depth and definition, the artist has introduced black. Through skillful use of black, shadows extend across the sides and within the central form. These shadows contribute to creating a three-dimensional dimension, giving rise to an extraordinary sense of depth. The artwork acquires an almost tactile quality, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in an immersive visual experience. "ACTIDENTITY HECKING" by Malina Wieczorek is an artwork that captivates with its delicate chromaticity and powerful visual impact. The artist demonstrates exceptional technical mastery in manipulating color and creating a composition that evokes emotions and captures the viewer's interest. The combination of the main colors, vibrant texture, and skillful use of shadows contribute to making this artwork a fascinating visual exploration.

Momiji Inoue

Art, in all its grandeur and depth, possesses an innate power: that of painting the heart and innermost emotions of human beings. Through the universal language of shapes, colors and notes, it becomes an instrument for the exploration and revelation of the human soul The artist, for his part, like an alchemist of existence, transmutes sensations into tangible creations With mastery and sensitivity, traces lines and shades that manage to capture the very essence of human emotions and in this way, each brushstroke becomes an open window to the intimacy of being. Through art, we immerse ourselves in unknown inner worlds, where emotions manifest themselves in chromatic forms, in harmonies between colors, in formal compositions that tell stories without the need for words. In this sense, art becomes a silent witness to our moods, reflecting the joys, passions, anxieties and fears that animate our being In this dance between artist and artwork, art invites us to look beyond the surface of things, to penetrate into the heart of the emotions that make us human It urges us to explore the complexity of our feelings, to embrace contradictions and to recognize the beauty in vulnerability. Momiji Inoue casts her heart above the canvas. Expressing the innermost and deepest sides of her soul through the power of color and form, the artist creates incredibly layered works where one pigment overlays the top and each color seems to fade into the patch of color beside it. In "Unnamed," this strategy of superimposition is clearly visible, and it juxtaposes perfectly with what is inherent in our hearts, in our souls. Emotions, although categorized, called by different names and subdivided among themselves, are not unique and always the same. Anger, for example, can have a thousand faces: it can be pure violent anger as well as a quiet state of mind that hides within it a veil of sadness The same is true of all emotions, even love It can have a sensual facet as well as tender and selfless and so on, acquiring a thousand other forms, a thousand other meanings. The range of human emotions is thus a magma of sensations that keeps simmering, changing its form, losing and gaining connotations in a perpetual motion. Momiji, through color, makes particularly visible the unstable and layered nature of the human soul by going far beyond the surface of our existences. Streaks of color melt over one another. They are saturated, thick and, with their passage, cover the color stain that rests beneath them. Bluish patches with extremely jagged edges cover burgundy spots and pinkish pigments Black spots in turn cover the blue pigment going to mitigate the bright chromatic freshness that lies beneath them In “Unnamed” everything is uncertain, everything is labile but at the same time everything is material, each element is firmly anchored in its nature. For this very reason, there is no part where color is labile and evanescent. Each color spot in the work has a strong, precise and timely identity, just as our emotions are. The process of layering the work then, makes the latter pigmented with every possible shade of meaning, going to portray the innermost place of the artist's soul.

Nano7Swiss

Swiss artist Nano7Swiss's compositions are a marriage of different disciplines that tell of emotions and events experienced. An activity that takes on a strictly representational value and an art that records and proposes how it should be considered. In fact, Nano7Swiss is an artist in every sense, her compositions also take cues from photography and painting. Each element of nature is depicted with its strength and energy, capable of altering physical and real space. By finding and studying the elements that fuel her imagination and creativity, the artist is able to control her own forces, those of nature, and create a harmonious whole of aesthetic sense on canvas. The artist's creativity is aimed at rethinking feelings that are resolved in matter. On each painting, we find the manifestation of a feeling to which we give specific meaning and which the artist chooses to assign to the subjects of her reality. Nano7Swiss is perfectly capable of restoring, through her artist's gaze, the composition of nature, understood as a wonderful creation of the Creator, in the profound simplicity of human feeling that matter shapes on the surface of the painting. Feeling, reality and depth are the three lines of action of Nano7Swiss, guiding the viewer on a delicate journey with undefined boundaries. The subjects of her paintings are moments, which are told in snapshots destined to become external, extracted from the course of history they portray life and its forms at a given moment. Nano7Swiss eliminates the superfluous and ephemeral to focus only on what really interests her: feeling. All this is often seasoned with faint traces of context, previously removed with chiseling care. Flashes of damp skies or trampled sands support the singularity of human delicacy. Experience and life are the certainty needed to act in reality and find meaning in it.

"WHEN THE WAVE OF THE PAST AND THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE MEET IN THE PRESENT… ART IS BORN."

Every human being is unique, with a DNA unlike anyone else, which defines us in all our forms and ways of being. Thus each artist has his own unique and essential DNA, which distinguishes him from anyone else. One's life, experiences, the style created, the feelings that generate the inspiration for the works: this defines the DNA of an artist and each of his creations is something more that is added to this chain, outlining more and more its uniqueness and unrepeatability. Each work of art is a sign of one's being that will remain indelible forever. At the same time each work is the means by which the artist seeks his own essence, his own soul, and investigates the deepest and most intimate part of himself. This is exactly what we find in the works of the Italian artist Pietro Spadafina, of which we see here three wonderful examples of the collection called Anima. Observing his works it is clear how he puts all of himself, how he concentrates all his emotions and sensations in what he is creating: and precisely in this way that something intangible and invisible is transformed into matter and image in the artist's hands, which thus becomes a means of expression and communication towards the observer. Through his works Peter creates a new world to which he opens the door for us and invites us to enter. We, on tiptoe, slowly enter and are overwhelmed by amazement and wonder. Yes, because in front of each of his works we feel like spectators of a unique show. As we see in the works exhibited here, each of them tells a story through the characters who inhabit it and from which we can hardly distract attention. The extraordinary nature of Pietro's works also lies in his unique artistic technique, which he conceived and called Active Drawing: a technique that leads him to draw with his eyes closed, going beyond the limits imposed by sheets and canvases. In this way Pietro manages to make his deepest soul explode on the canvas, without filters or constraints. In his works every shape, every face, every color with its nuances, every interaction between the individual elements speaks and positions an indispensable piece of the story, creating at the same time a harmony and a pressing energy of always wanting to go further.

RnR'

The Japanese artist Rico Kawahara, recognized in the artistic environments as RnR', skillfully embodies the essence of self-expression and embraces the concept of revealing her innermost self, what lies beneath the superficial layer of the skin, delving into the depths of our DNA. RnR's ability lies in being able to juggle between different mediums while maintaining her creativity intact, as well as her unique style and distinctive traits. The representations are chaotic, with rich spaces filled with moving figures and objects. Mostly cool and bold chromatic shades fill the scene and color the shapes. Both in physical and digital artworks, the brushstrokes are predominantly bold, followed by geometric shapes, symbols, dots, as well as streaks and smudges. These elements further enhance the visual impact and depth of her works. We are catapulted into surrealistic worlds, a distant and dreamy future, or a different dimension. Notably, we can discern the unmistakable influence of the vibrant world of cartoons on the artist's creative renditions, particularly when observing the humanoid figures portrayed. Whether through canvas paintings or digital artworks, RnR' skillfully channels her intimate space and spirituality, transmitting them to the beholder.

"Create within your soul, consciousness, dig your DNA, and live a good life."

RnR'

The artist's ultimate goal is to unveil the elusive equilibrium that exists between the physical and the mental realms. Her wellspring of inspiration flows from everyday life, interwoven with ethereal elements such as dreams, the evocative power of music, and the elusive frequencies of alternate dimensions. Throughout RnR's artworks, vegetation emerges as a recurring motif, symbolizing both the tangible realm and realms fantastical and surreal. Once again, the chosen color palette imparts a gentle and distant ambiance as if the flora and blossoms gracefully hover within these enchanting domains. Additionally, one cannot overlook the ubiquitous presence of humanoid figures, ethereal spirits, and enigmatic extraterrestrials that grace nearly every artwork. These entities seamlessly intertwine with the essence of these wondrous distant worlds, blurring the boundaries between reality and the extraordinary.

Sakura

Art, with its expressive power, has the ability to make visible the various natures of human existence in an obvious way, emphasizing its deepest and most authentic characteristics. Through shapes, colors and incisive strokes, the artist gives life to works that become mirrors of the human soul. Emotions, often elusive and elusive, find a tangible home in art; joy shines through vibrant brushstrokes, conveying a sense of lightness and vitality. Sadness manifests itself in somber color tones, in curved lines that express a sense of weight and melancholy. Anger explodes through bold brushstrokes, marking the painting with a primal force Through art, emotions take form and substance Facial expressions, eye irises, and backgrounds are skillfully shaped to unmistakably communicate the depth of emotional experience The canvas becomes the theater where the artist and the viewer meet, creating an empathic experience that resonates in the soul. But art does not merely depict emotions; it goes beyond that. It transforms emotion into a universal message that goes beyond individual experiences. Through visual language, the artist evokes a sense of deep connection between human beings, revealing the common humanity that binds us together. When observing Sakura's works, it is as if our minds are pervaded by primal thoughts, archetypes of sensations and emotions that naturally reside within our souls and, thanks to these works, return to the surface. An extremely original art, unique in its kind, shouts in the face of the viewer, the feeling that the latter wants to convey through the strong chromatic and formal expressiveness that characterizes the artist's works These works, precisely, look like real lightning bolts that illuminate our gray everyday life, flooding the latter with color and strong emotions. A unique contour line, an original treatment of the background and the main subject, and the close cut of the individual portrayed are all components that are part of Sakura's artistic signature and make her art unique. Large faces portrayed in close-up totally lose their actual features to break through into the plane of imagination, into the exaggerated representation of who, those portraits, inherently are. One gets the feeling that the faces' skin, the irises of the eyes and even the hair are covered by a dense blanket of pigment that is nothing more than a stratagem designed to express the true nature of the portrayed subjects In "Inception," a girl's face rises from the chromatic sea The gaze is low and the bluish irises are covered by a thick curtain of blue lashes Her hair blends in with the backdrop as does her complexion It is as if the girl is one with her surroundings, it is as if the expressive power of those spots, those casts, those dots created with posca, takes over the girl's real physiognomy distorting it and reconstituting it in the form of pure chromatic and artistic expression. If in "Inception" we can catch a glimpse of the young girl's face, in "Execute ending," the boundaries between backdrop and main subject are too blurred and too evanescent. The power of color, in this case, has assimilated, digested and repassed the subject's identity, distorting her real features and making visible every part of her self, parts that would not be visible in the real world And so it is that Sakura, through her art that shouts, that screeches, that bewitches through formal and chromatic perfection and seduces through intense and sometimes provocative glances, offers us an art that goes beyond mere formal representation to blur into the invisible that is clothed in color.

Sandeep Soni

Sandeep Soni's artistic DNA is an intricate tapestry woven with threads of introspection, surrealism, and a profound exploration of the human experience Through his creations, he invites us to delve into the depths of our own consciousness and embark on a visual journey that blurs the boundaries between dreams and reality, opening doors to new realms of understanding and self-discovery. Sandeep Soni's artistic DNA is eloquently captured in his 2004 sketch titled 'I Think, I Imagine, I Create.' This seminal artwork marks a significant milestone in Soni's artistic journey, representing the moment when he successfully synthesized his aspirations, dreams, and thoughts within the realm of art. It is at this juncture that the artist's profound understanding of science, philosophy, and the interpretation of imagination and dreams culminated At the core of Soni's artistic DNA lies a deep exploration of life, philosophy, knowledge, surrealism, and dynamism

While colored art finds its interpretation through the interplay of the observer and light, Soni believes that art transcends the boundaries of color and delves into the very essence of existence itself. Art, for the artist, becomes a way of life and creation, a medium through which he expresses his innermost thoughts and experiences Soni's work revolves around the surrealistic nature of art, surpassing the limitations of physicality and defying explicit shapes and conventional colors. In the realm of dreams, our minds traverse dimensions and depths with astonishing rapidity, shifting dynamically through space and time The imagination, a conscious manifestation of these dreams, allows us to distill these experiences into tangible forms. It is within this context that Soni creates his physical artworks while in a wakeful state, translating snapshots of dreams and imagination onto the canvas. Driven not by a desire for recognition but by a thirst to uncover the hidden layers within himself, Soni's artistic endeavors serve to calm his mind as it grapples with the unanswerable questions that surround us. His art strives to forge a connection between imagination and inspiration, motivation and success, failure and ethics, morals and philosophy, religion and science, good and bad, and even the ugly. It is through this intricate interplay of concepts that Soni finds the motivation to carefully select objects, references, and colors for his artworks, infusing them with stories and dynamism Soni's collection at the Cromosom@rt international art exhibition showcases ten captivating artworks, each belonging to his surreal universe of vibrant colors and unusual yet strangely familiar forms Let's delve into the essence of each piece: "Flight of Phoenix": This artwork portrays a human on a quest for power, ultimately attaining it but realizing that it transforms them into a hybrid creature driven by nefarious motives. Karma plays its part, granting the character what they deserve but taking away what should remain untouched. Soni skillfully captures the transformative nature of power and the consequences it entails

“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)

Sandeep Soni

"City Wave": Here, a wave traverses a landscape, giving rise to a majestic city structure while its colors radiate in the night's vibrant reflections upon nearby waters This artwork exemplifies the inherent symmetry and rhythm found in nature A city's beauty lies in its harmonious coexistence with its surroundings, while a civilization thrives when it aligns with the rhythms of life itself. "Splashed": This artwork presents two scenarios with the same subjects and dynamics. In one scene, a boat clashes against sea waves, splashing water against the force of gravity When viewed upside down, the art transforms, depicting a downpour of water from above a house structure Soni illustrates how a viewer's perspective shapes their interpretation of the art, highlighting the subjective nature of perception and the stories we bring into our observations "Where are you": Viewers find themselves immersed in a maze of colors spread across man-made architecture, prompting them to question their own location and search for others Soni invites introspection, emphasizing the feelings of disorientation and longing for connection that arise within modern society. "Cosmic Yarn": This artwork showcases a cosmic yarn intertwining within consciousness, reflecting existence in its every twist and turn. The marks left behind by this infinite yarn exist not in the physical realm but in the cosmic dimension, transcending conventional interpretation. Soni invites contemplation on the vastness of the universe and the minuscule nature of human existence within it."Dance of Mountains 1, 2, 3": These pieces offer a celestial view of mountains engaged in a captivating dance, shaping landmasses and ocean waves The mountains, acting as the head of an ecosystem, communicate through these movements, resulting in territorial shifts and modifications perceived as catastrophic by existing life forms. Soni poetically explores the intricate relationship between nature's selection, creation, and the evolution of life "Survive and Revive": This artwork depicts a dramatic scene in which a pair of birds engage in a struggle, with the attacker being winged down while the defender must gather strength to protect itself from the unexpected assault. The challenges faced by both sides highlight the essential aspects of survival and revival. Soni portrays the intricate balance between adaptation and resilience in the face of adversity. "Towards the Ground": This thought-provoking piece invites viewers to question their perception of reality. From the observer's vantage point on the ground, another ground appears in the distance, tempting them to seek the truth The dimensions presented in the artwork raise existential questions, challenging the viewer to question whether they exist within a world confined by the walls of a deep pit. The distant star beckons the viewer to explore further, only to realize that it is merely another observer looking directly back, driven by similar curiosity. Soni's artwork confronts viewers with the unsettling question of whether what they perceive is real or merely a reflection of their own minds In conclusion, Sandeep Soni's ten artworks showcased at the Cromosom@rt international art exhibition at M.A.D.S. International Art Gallery immerse viewers in a surreal world of vivid colors and familiar yet enigmatic forms Through his intricate compositions and thought-provoking themes, Soni invites us to embark on a journey of self-reflection, challenging our perceptions of reality, power, nature, and the profound complexities of the human experience

Sarah Shinhyo Kim

Sarah Shinhyo Kim gives us another participation on the occasion of "CROMOSOM@RT - IL SEME DEL GENIO", exhibition organized by M A D S Art Gallery, with a triptych of very special artworks One of the most precious things that the artist teaches us is to get to the bottom: many of her paintings, from afar, take on well-defined shapes and shapes, which we associate with landscapes, objects, elements in an immediate way. But if we go further and not only focus on the whole, but also on the particular, we will see that those images are created by compositions of small smileys from the most varied expressions. In fact, Kim’s work focuses on the increasing popularization of ‘emoticon’ pop-imagery in the past decade. As the artist herself states: "On the one hand, emojis act as vehicles of individual emotional expression, revealing a simplified, yet honest feeling about our everyday lives On the other hand, their universal and semantically rich nature allows us to transcend cultural and linguistic barriers, while at the same time reflect and comment on complex social issues. "Eggmotional Connection", in addition to the brilliant title, showcases on a black background that could be a plate, a set of smileys that have metamorphoses into yolks. In tears, smiling, angry, romantic, reddened, intimidated, sufficient, in love: that connection of smiley faces could only be our mood, ready to change when we least expect it, and return to its steps shortly after. But emoticons can also give life to beautiful, elegant, harmonious natural elements: this is what happens in "Clouded", where clouds - composed of infinite smileys - are the undisputed protagonists An extremely idyllic atmosphere makes us image this artwork directly combined with a poem Although the title is explanatory, we like to imagine that Qella can also be the foam of the sea The trail of evocative atmospheres takes a romantic path with "Blue heart": it is a heart that literally exlplode love, since its faces can not contain, overlap, seem to push each other for the terror of jumping out, as it has happened to other of them. If there is one undeniable thing is that Sarah Shinhyo Kim has found a way all its own, completely original and innovative, to give shape in an artistic way to the world. After all, emotions are the engine of our existence, and it is extremely reassuring, but also moving, to imagine them as the organism of everything around us

Smrita Swarup

“An artist must possess Nature. He must identify himself with her rhythm, by efforts that will prepare the mastery which will later enable him to express himself in his own language.”

(Henri Matisse)

Nature is inherent and essential in human life. Nature's immensity, magnificence and beauty are sublime elements that amaze the human beings and immediately activate their capacity for wonder. In this case, the magic of art is to represent these properties in order to bring them to an earthly plane because, thanks to their greatness, Nature transcends the human mind and sphere. The Singaporean artist Smrita Swarup achieves the representation of these natural elements through her abstract floral paintings. Her dynamism and use of color, light, technique, brushstrokes, and textures delight the viewers' gaze. These formal aspects create a harmonious, illuminated and paradisiacal atmosphere that transcends the human aesthetic contemplation to another plane. In this exhibition, Smrita presents three artworks from two of her series: Illusion and Joy, which, as their name indicates, convey joy, illusion and a dreamlike feeling. At the same time, the artist seeks to express the awareness about environment, the challenges faced nowadays, its need and relation with humans, the importance of taking care and even saving it. It is through a direct connection with Nature that the discovery of oneself and the world is achieved.

Sophia Openshaw

The refinement and abiding relevance of a civilization so distant but equally fascinating are captured by the figures of artist Sophia Openshaw, which take us back to the past. They would also suffice to underscore the need to recover a vico, sympathetic and dynamic relationship with the ancients, even if they lived millennia ago. Social and political structures, value systems and religious beliefs may change, but human states of mind remain akin: a person today questions the meaning of life and existence in the same way as an Egyptian poet who lived between the third and second millennia B.C. Thus, an attitude of pure exotic curiosity for the millennial civilization of Ancient Greece prevails, which continues to establish in the collective imagination, a relationship of fascination, exoticism, suggestion and mystery. Sophia Openshaw's figurative art is a conscious aesthetic quest marked by drawing, the precise and isolating definition of the outline of figures and can be interpreted as an expression of the stability of the figures represented. The purpose is thus to make the viewer reflect on the human-memory relationship, seeking to investigate the relationship between past and present.

“Art is the greatest form of hope”. (Banksy)

Sophia Openshaw

Sophia's art becomes a place of remembrance, immersing the women in an atmosphere of silence, in which volumes and contours fade, fading, like a memory that loses sharpness over time. Soft, candid matter, suspended in a timeless dimension. She spurs her audience to look around with new, conscious eyes, repudiating that "uncritical and passive" observation in favor of a new, "conscious and incisive" one. The pictorial works she exhibits are thus exemplary of her poetics, mostly addressed to the themes of remembrance and ancient history, which are meant to remind the viewer how painting is a fundamental element for man and his experience, and thus for his memory. Sophia Openshaw is constantly moving, exploring, searching for new lenses through which to look around, questioning a contemporary society too caught up in its thousand commitments to stop for a moment to observe the true meaning of what it pretends to admire, passively.

Art embraces the infinity of our existences by revealing secrets hidden deep within the human being Through forms, colors and images, it stands as the voice of the soul, capable of painting atmospheres and weaving subtle emotions Like a magician of illusion, the artist shapes the ether and with bold brushstrokes and enchanted notes transports us to dimensions beyond the boundaries of reality, letting us float among fruitful thoughts and dreams. Through art, the veil between heaven and earth dissolves, and we are enveloped by a timeless melody, a light that radiates the secrets of the universe, revealing the true essence of being. In "Various skies and heart patterns," Yukari praises the role of art between reality and the fantasy world by weaving, through the work, a dreamlike and at times ethereal space As soon as we turn our gaze toward the work, we are drawn in by chromatic gleams that, like reflections of light in an aquatic environment, hide and then reveal themselves under certain angles Our vision is colored with earthy orange pigment, pink, delicate and evanescent whitish-yellow. Our eyes are in rapture at this parade of color overlaying the entire pictorial structure. Yet, there is something beneath this curtain of pigment, something we know well that rises from the chromatic sea with its shilouettes well and truly evident. It is lotus and lime leaves lying next to each other, overlapping a little in the interplay of formal composition. Yukari distorts the purely earthly essence of the plant elements to rise to pure artistic representation through the power of color and formal composition. Therefore, of the naturalness of these leaves, nothing is left There is no glimpse of the whiteness of the linden leaves or even the green and brown haloes of the large and mighty lotus leaves The plant element is encompassed, deconstructed and reconstituted according to the artist's own artistic canons and rules. In this sense, all that remains of the leaves are their perimeters, their silhouettes, their veins. The sinuous, undulating shape of the lotus leaf is well matched by the fine, thin tips of the linden leaves. The veins of the former, large and mighty, are juxtaposed with the veins of the linden, a delicate lattice that unravels throughout the leaf. Once the carriers of sap and vital matter for the leaf, these veins now seem to carry color, pigment in liquid form that extends throughout the leaf, giving it new definition In "Various skies and heart patterns," the perfection of nature marries in an egregious way with the dreamlike and imaginative capacity of art, and all this involves the vision of a dreamy atmosphere, a space where air is literally pure color and where the plant element, distorted from its earthly life, is both pivotal and at the same time the skeleton of the entire formal composition. Yukari elevates the material world by transforming it into a new dimension where sensations and emotions take the form of pure pigment.

Takuya Mizukami

Takuya Mizukami is a Japanese professional artist born in Nagoya in 1990 and at "CROMOSOM@ART", the international exhibition hosted by M.A.D.S. Art Gallery, he presents three paintings. "Kuroshio Forest" is composed of four sections joined together which represent a view of the Kuroshio forest with a tree in the foreground with sinuous branches. The short and thin layers of colors give more of a sense of variety and vastness of the landscape full of plants, colors and animal creatures. "Japanese fan lobster" features a close-up lobster. The rendering is extremely abstract, with layers much thicker and fuller than in the previous work. In the center we can see the eye of the animal which seems to be watching us attentively. In "The planet Earth of hope - Hippo Paradise", the third painting exhibited, the protagonists are three hippos painted in a realistic way, swimming in the water. The landscape in why they are appears more abstract and altered in colour, almost as if the image were flooded with sunlight which illuminates everything. The quick and thin layers give movement and three-dimensionality to the work. For his paintings, Takuya uses tea ink, the artistic material that sets him free. With a self-made reed pen, he draws lines of black tea ink on a smooth canvas with a chalk background. Because it requires no pen pressure, the drawn line leaves trails as it floats and is grasped. Between the concrete and the abstract, Takuya aims to make flexible paintings that don't fit the mold and can go back and forth between shifts. This is because he believes that the truth of things lies right on the edge of something. The theme oh his work is "unity": people, insects, flowers and animals are one life that lives on one earth. Describing the splendor of life, his works become the means to appeal to what we can do to leave a beautiful land for our descendants 200 years from now, so that human beings don't take too much.

Tokimura Junichi

There are works that have the ability to distill the world around us. As if undergoing a process of skimming the unnecessary detail, these works transport us to an unseen dimension where the eye focuses not so much on the simple element itself as on the overall vision The distillation of reality in art is a process in which the artist captures the essence of reality and transmits it through the filter of his creative perception It is an act of selection and synthesis that allows one to focus on the most significant and relevant qualities of the subject represented. Through distillation, the artist is able to eliminate the superfluous and focus on the forms, colors, lines, and emotions that they feel are essential to convey the desired message. In this process, art becomes a vehicle for transforming reality into a subjective interpretation, an opportunity to explore new perspectives and create new meanings. Through selective attention, the artist is able to focus on details, gestures or expressions that may reveal hidden aspects of reality or the human experience. This distillation does not mean distorting reality, however, but rather illuminating its essential elements and revealing the depth that often lies behind appearances And it is precisely the essential elements that make themselves visible in Tokimura Junichi's works As in the works of Hopper, as in the films of Wes Anderson, the formal and chromatic element rises to a purely aesthetic element that, far from being superficial, preserves within itself the identity of the element portrayed. In this way, observing the artist's works we feel as if we have been catapulted into a new world. We recognize the elements of these unseen universes. We know that the conical, white-topped figure is Mount Fuji, just as we recognize the pillars and iron structure of a railway bridge. Yet, it is not reality; it is something else. It is a new world composed of pure, almost archetypal elements that lulls us by its chromatic tranquility, that relaxes us, thanks to the shiluettes of the world we know Junichi's are archetypal worlds where the subject loses its real elements -- the rust of iron, the cracks in asphalt, the waves in the Japanese public bathhouse -- rising to a pure, finite element and thus, in a word, an archetypal element that, in the real world, can be shaped at will by nature and the passage of time. In fact, there is no time in these works. There are no clocks, no changes of light and landscape. Everything is still, constituting a wonderful archetypal image. In "Sento," the architecture of a typical Japanese public bath is distilled and reworked through a series of vertical lines that, one after the other go to define the flooring, the structure of the pool, the hot water and the work within the work: the representation of Mount Fuji, a typical decoration of many Japanese Onsen Everything is reduced to the bare minimum, but the beauty of the artist's works lies precisely here: in the elegant and refined distillation of a world, the real world, too full of superfluous and totally unnecessary elements It is inevitable that our eye, unaccustomed to all this purity, will relax before these works and marvel at how satisfying a newfound simplicity can be.

West Otake

There is something dreamlike about West Otake's works. I think this feeling is due to the use of vivid, vibrant color and the expressive choice of combining together different elements of reality that, in our world, would not be possible to observe. Rather than a normal dream in reality, the artist's works are more reminiscent of a fever dream where forms blur together, change their nature and elements follow one after another illuminating our imagination and creating thoughts and images totally out of the ordinary Time itself seems to bend to the laws of dreams, expanding and contracting without apparent logic The boundaries between past, present and future have blurred, creating a time continuum in which experiences overlap and merge into a single vision. In this feverish world, the artist is an explorer of a profound unreality, a solitary traveler in an inner universe, and each figurative element becomes a leap into the unknown, an encounter with the unexplainable and the indefinable. West Otake's works are a true journey in which the real and the imaginary have become intertwined in a visionary symphony. Fragments of dream worlds saturated with color and expressiveness, his works are a cry to pure artistic representation understood as a pure and instinctive expression of the human soul and emotions In "Butterfly and innocent limbs" we are confronted with something beyond our ordinary world. Almost the entire space of the play is occupied by the silhouette of a butterfly having outstretched wings. Its yellow wings, dotted with blue pigment, illuminate our gaze, ceaselessly capturing our attention. Yet, once we avert our eyes from the chromatic wonder of the wings, we notice that all around are human limbs. As if it were the norm, hands and feet sprout from the butterfly, and we cannot help but be astonished. All of a sudden, we have moved away from the world of the real, from our physical laws that determine all things that happen in our world, and we have landed in the dream world, where everything is uncertain and everything is a surprise In this regard, I would like to mention "Eyes that look at you " A splendid work where the delicate and harmonious color palette merges with a sinister, rather disturbing meaning that lies within the work We are looking at eyes that, in turn, are looking at us. These gazes do not belong to a face; indeed, there is not the slightest trace of a human element in the work. Rather, we are confronted with strange, unseen beings, perhaps inhabitants of this dream world, perhaps friends or perhaps enemies. Uncertainty and fear of the unknown is looming in this work. A fine stroke, blending with the natural-colored canvas welcomes extremely earthy and natural patches of color that go to create an extremely gentle, refined and calm formal composition inevitably going to jar with the disquiet that these wide-open eyes emanate Calm and terror coexisting in a space, in an event It seems impossible but nothing is impossible in a dream world West Otake, through wallpaper cutouts molds unseen, unusual worlds where the eye of the beholder shines with awe and surprise at the impossible.
