An happy Saturday to all hivers here!
Like I wrote you yesterday, today I'm here to tell you about a very special art exhibition titled "Fragments of emotions", inside the beautiful ancient building that is also the Municipality Palace in the main square of my city (Pistoia, in Italy).
A couple of days ago there was the opening and I was there between the other artists who partecipated to this "special" event. It was "special" because everything started some months ago, when a lovely friend of mine had the idea to connect some local artists (included me and my hubby) and some young adults of a local association, young adults affected by the down syndrome who are working with an art therapist since some months. Me and the other artists donated an artwork for the art exhibition (at the end there will be a charity auction) and some hours to spend with those young adults. Starting from the artworks donated, the young adults worked on some piece inspired by them and the result was fantastic and touching too.
It was a very exhiting opening and there were a lot of people. The young adults were so so happy and their families too. To be honest, me and the other artists were really touching by this experience and we all thought how fantastic is the languafe of art for every people. Using art people is really free to speak and to tell everything they want to tell even just with some simple lines and colors. ❤️
Sure, I took some pics to share with you, where you can see how those young adults represent the thoughts they had watching the pieces donated from each artist:
My favorite one is the following one. The author is Yaya, a young boy who use to work with the tecnique of papier mache. This is the piece he made inspired my painting and when I watched this piece it touched me so much. It's really a wonderful piece, I think:
On June 15th there will be the charity aution and, sure, I'll be there and I'll take some pics for you. ❤️
See ya soon and stay safe,
Silvia
