Artist Statement for Caroline Bergonzi
|
|
|
I believe that art can heal.
I believe that, even if all is connected, our bodies remain our first homes, shells, vehicles, and our senses are our first contact with the ”outside world” and with other beings. One of the recurring themes in my work is the one of a circle (or square), cocoon, transformation, from fetal position to extreme stretching, pointing towards erotica.
I believe that too often, in our megalopolis, the bodies are suppressed. Through our addictions to stress, our busy minds absorb all the available life force and govern our decisions.
I believe that my paintings are charged with nurturing love. I am always amazed to see how visitors react, during my exhibitions, and become totally inspired and talkative.
I paint to symbolically represent the “invisible”, feelings and thoughts, to show, share, and inspire. The images come from within, and allow a heart to heart communication. Through my work, I want to invite the viewers to open themselves up to dream, trust, feel and play. I want to inspire those who are willing to explore their own creative journeys.
Last December I invented and organized a workshop in NYC, “My Art Attack”, with the promise to the non artistic people to transform their stress into creativity in 90 minutes. It was both playful and efficient. This project deserves to be developed, and I hope to soon find partners who share this vision of art (www.myartattack.com).
My art is both a daily exploration within of the mystery and an act of love.
Caroline Bergonzi, NYC Summer 2007
