Cristina Madini is the director of the space Rossocinabro Gallery and curator of the Inspired by Nature exhibition.She brought together seventeen artists from all over the world to reflect on the theme of nature with works mostly created during the pandemic.
She tells Madini: “The period of limbo in which they were forced has led the artists to devote themselves more to their work. And nature was the main source of inspiration. The works that were proposed to me gave life to the theme of the exhibition ”.

The interpretations and the means used are extremely different. And, in some cases, there is even an attempt to create something that replaces the lack of relationship with the natural element, giving life to visual and interior sensations similar to those you experience immersed in a forest or by the sea.

Nature and painting
For the French painter Fanou Montel, nature has been a companion and source of inspiration since childhood. Large geometric backgrounds create abstract landscapes, rich in complementary colors. And the colors explode and intersect in the large painting by Nina Stopar exhibited at the Rossocinabro Gallery.
This is how the Slovenian painter describes her way of expressing herself, bringing to synthesis the theme art / nature.“When does painting begin to paint itself? When do I pick up the brush or when do I take the first step towards the canvas? There is no clear beginning, since life also begins long before it is born. Since everything is connected, I believe that art happens always and everywhere, so the canvas is the ripe fruit that offers itself to be eaten. Life is a butterfly effect, as is art “.
