CRISS CROSS, the beauty of the Cross
Quadreria Pio Monte della Misericordia Museum, Naples
curated by Bustos Domenech
The artistic production of the artist Barbara Crimella takes shape from knowing how to feel and knowing how to listen.
Listening to ourselves and what is around us, nature with its perfect and balanced leaves, sometimes old and suffering, slender trees that dance with swallows, landscapes that try to dialogue with us, but also ourselves, the most difficult to hear and through this work he wants to underline its great importance
The CONFESSION
“The task of the work of art is not simply to bring presence into presence, but to evoke absence through presence”
Claudio Parmiggiani-The prayer of painting-
The sacred presence of silence, waiting
The expectation of feeling and feeling
whisper in a soothing voice
forgive penances
hope for absolutions
incapable of being able to pray
the work preserves a truth, desires silence
empty that suddenly seem too full
symbols that are transformed into voices
(Barbara Crimella)
