This painting captures this romantic and beautiful mood of this nature.
Urkräfte, 2022

Whether one sees fire and water, the indigenous or the western world or male and female when looking at the picture: healing through the mutual acceptance of both forces, which tenderly touch each other on the nose, is the focus of this picture.

Butterflies express lightness and exhilaration.

2. Sofia Battisti

Using her animal subjects she explores difficult topics such as motherhood, the role of women in the world, pain, loneliness, and the feeling of inadequacy within society.
The fat cat dream, 2022
Acrylic & Oil on Canvas
“He is so calm and relaxed on his carpet decorated with oranges and blue leaves that you hardly notice the butterfly in his mouth. The feline is so overweight it's ridiculous, but he's not the only inhabitant of the canvas. Around him a luxuriant flora hosts a multitude of insects, all very busy.”
Farfalla sputa fuoco, 2022
Acrylic & Oil on Canvas
“This work with its symbolism wants to bring us back to the world of contrasts, forms and deceptive appearances, like a fragile butterfly that spits fire.
A fat cat licks its belly, is leaning on a table that also houses a composition of succulent plants with red, orange and pink flowers. Everything seems peaceful, fragrant and in harmony. There is only one small element that disturbs the stillness, it is a family of purple winged butterflies; they began to breathe fire at the plants and flowers. In this scenario the only one who is very angry is the black cat that seems to fall from the sky while defending its fur from the flames of the annoying insects.”
L'albero della cuccagna, 2022
Acrylic & Oil on Canvas
“A blue tree rises towards the sky and all its foliage seems to burst with life, many birds rest on the branches and various insects hide among the flowers.
At the foot of the tree the landscape changes, mice, flowers, plants, insects, and cats seem to coexist peacefully, but if you look more carefully, the cats are lurking, ready to bite the pet next to them. In the work the opposites coexist, possible killers and potential victims share their space among the colored flowers. The opposites coexist at the same time and in the same place, overlapping, like tragedy and celebration, life and death.
Often those who die and are eaten are the most fragile, beautiful and delicate animals!”
3. Khodakivskyi Vasyl
Painter, Ukraine
“It does not matter what is drawn, but it is important how it is done and what feelings are put into the picture.”
