Every so often, I stumble upon an artist that compels me to
get lost in their work. It is like getting a song stuck in my head - all I want
to do is look at images of their work, read about them, know what inspires
them. Sometimes I ponder what it is like to be a thought in their mind, flowing
through their body, through their hands, and into their work. What a magical
experience that would be.
I recently stumbled upon artist, Alice Pasquini. Her
work jumped off the screen and into my mind like a bug. I spent the day
visiting and revisiting my iPad just to look at images of her art.
In her bio, she shares that she strives to
demonstrate the small moments between people and their connections to one
another. No wonder I became so enthralled with her work. To me, looking at one
of her paintings is like connecting to a stranger- beautiful and simple, yet it
leaves a lasting impression on your soul.
Perhaps the most alluring component to Alice’s work is that
she strives to portray strong and independent women. Pairing that aspect with
the fact that her prefered canvases are city walls, finding her work was like finding
an artistic soul mate.
Isn’t it an inspiring concept that a woman, living halfway
across the world, can create a work of art that makes its way into a camera,
onto a computer, through the internet, onto my iPad, and into my heart? And yet
despite the vast distance between us, her work inspires my work, which will
hopefully inspire someone else. What a magnificent thing.
