Worldwide virtual art exhibition in 3D from May 10th to May 30th, 2024.
Deadline to participate: May 3rd.
You are cordially invited to participate in our virtual abstract art exhibit "Yellow: Light and Vision," scheduled for May 2024. This event is an open call to you, bold and innovative creators, who find inspiration in the color yellow.
Yellow, the emblem of brightness and cheer, has always kindled the imagination of artists. Our exhibit is envisioned as a digital stage where each work becomes a portal to the imagination, an exploration of shades ranging from soft lemon yellow to rich and intense gold, blending with other hues. The selected works will serve as an invitation to contemplate the dynamics of emotion and movement, to perceive the balance and harmony that only yellow can evoke.
Your participation is a precious opportunity to express your artistic vision, to weave connections with the world, with other artists, and to honor abstract art in all its endless variations.
To register, please email us a selection of your works that best embody the spirit of the exhibit (2 to 5 works). We eagerly await to see how yellow will materialize through your talent.

The Beginnings: Could you tell us how you started your artistic journey?
As a young girl, when I could access the studio where a family member, an established painter, worked on his canvases, I felt as if I were entering a poetic world, made of magic and beauty: the scent of oil paints, all those brushes and canvases leaning against the walls... seeing landscapes and portraits emerge from nothing: I felt as if I were in the world where I belonged. So, I embarked on a long journey of studies and experiences.
What is the main source of inspiration for your abstract works?
My inspiration?
There's something I need to say at that moment and I don't know how to express it in words: I have to paint it!
Choice of Materials: How do you select colors, shapes, and textures for your creations?
Following ideas or simply sensations, I choose among materials and techniques. I usually work on large sheets of paper and like to create my own colors, using pigments, water, and a binder, but I experiment with a lot of tools.
Challenges: What challenges or difficulties do you encounter in creating your abstract works and how do you overcome them?
The challenge is finding the materials that I feel are most suitable for the work I am doing, varying and combining layers with chalks, acrylics, enamels, or inks, inserting collages or small objects found on the beach...
Actually, abstract art allows a wide range of approaches, what matters is finding those that best suit your unique personality.
Artistic Admiration: Are there contemporary artists you follow or particularly admire?
If you ask me who my favorite artist is, I would make a long list, but let me just mention a few names, for example: Chuta Kimura, Ennio Calabria, Tracey Emin, Martha Jungwirth...
Aspirations: What are your goals or aspirations as an abstract artist?
For me, painting abstract works is like entering a huge undefined space where I search, among shapes and signs, emptiness and fullness, to find harmony and balance.
Failure is something I do not fear, because it's a given! But I enjoy the process and start over again.
Future Projects: Do you have any projects or dreams that you would like to realize?
At this time, I am working for some digital platforms and am preparing for an exhibition scheduled for next fall.
What else can I say? While I paint, I feel at home...
Black and White Exhibition
Black and white monochrome art has been used since the Middle Ages, and can be traced back to the Cistercian Monastic order. In 1134 the head of the order, Bernard of Clairvaux created a legal document on aesthetics, stipulating that all decoration in his Cistercian monasteries could only be in black and white. His belief was that colour was superfluous and could lead to the over-stimulation of senses. His monasteries were a space for prayer and meditation, so all their stained glass and illuminated manuscripts were painted in monochrome. Artists equally embraced the elimination of colour as it gave them the freedom to concentrate on light and shadows, with a particular focus on how light and shadow fall on objects, or on the scene being painted.
The wide range of possibilities of interpretation of monochrome paintings, and the emphasis on feeling is probably one of the reasons for its popularity with artists - monochromatic artworks can provoke deeply personal experiences and strong emotions. A reduction in the palette means an artist can draw the viewer’s attention to a particular subject, concept or technique. Moreover, painting in black and white gives more artistic freedom, as artists no longer have the complexities of working in colour. Therefore, artists can concentrate on form, textures, mark making and symbolic meaning. Black and white can also be used to maximise impact with the stark contrast between black and white emphasizing the message and depictions.
Black and white is often used to represent opposites, for example, white represent light, whereas black represents darkness. Furthermore, white can symbolise goodness, peace, innocence and purity. Whereas, black can symbolise evil, war, or even death. Additionally, black could be used as a means of concealment to create a sense of mystery, intrigue or foreboding. Although black and white are opposites, they do not always have to signify difference, and can exist together in harmony.
Black and white art has played a significant role in modern and contemporary art, and it continues to influence contemporary art today. Often, we see an increase in popularity of monochromatic painting at times when there are aesthetic and socio-political upheavals.
