LONELINESS IN THE WORKS OF ISKRA SHAHAJ

The summer of Iskra Shahaj, Albanian by birth, Ferrarese by adoption and now living in Abu Dhabi, is influenced by the colours of the Mediterranean and the desert that develop her imagination and creativity.
In her works there is no narrative, it is a moment captured during the day and for this reason the paintings do not have a title but only a number that identifies them.

Her canvases have a recurring theme of solitude, understood as a moment of recollection with oneself.

Giovanni Segantini’s sheepfold: a masterpiece to discover

Wednesday June 29th, 2022 , Artists and Works

Giovanni Segantini, All’ovile, 1892

GIOVANNI SEGANTINI’S SHEEPFOLD: A MASTERPIECE WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED

The painting All’ovile by Giovanni Segnatini is one of Segantini’s masterpieces of Italian Divisionism and late 19th century European painting.
It is a painting in which the artist used both the Divisionist technique and the addition of gold in the brushstrokes to give it a symbolic value.

All’ovile is one of three paintings that focus on the effects of artificial light in a stable and, being the last, concludes this quest.
