Description

Nostalgia is the prevailing feeling of Animica. Nostalgia for the eternal, but also for what we are seeing now, which, in some way, is already far from our gaze.

They are images set in the Venetian lagoon, the place that represents the artist’s identity, where she found herself after losing herself in the difficult moment of loneliness of 2020-2021. It is the place of her childhood, where she went, at low tide, together with her father Alfonso, to fish for shellfish.

The father, who is still fishing, is the protagonist of some of his images, he is always from behind, they are not portraits, except of atmospheres. Despite the presence of water, it would be wrong to think of those sandy expanses, the salt marshes, as a seaside place.

Here the water is stagnant, still. There are no fluid, wave-like movements. For her they are the places of waiting, in which she gathered with the sun, the rain, in winter, in summer, waiting for the image of her, which came to her from time to time as a gift. None of them are stolen, casual, immediate, each is thought out, meditated on, sought after.
