Lo studio è stato fatto con materiali di riciclo, dove si incrocia con il taglio moderno del mosaico i materiali a rilievo, creando l’effetto del quadro in 3D.
Ispirata dagli anni 80’, anni in cui ci sono stati tantissimi cambiamenti e periodo storico che hanno segnato un’epoca, Disco music, Manga, Fumetti, per ricordare e rivivere i momenti della nostra infanzia. I cartoni animati erano un appuntamento fisso ogni pomeriggio, scandivano le nostre giornate da bambini ed essere spensierati, ancora adesso sempre in voga. Nonostante ciò, tutti coloro che sono cresciuti in quegli anni ricordano bene le serie animate nipponiche e le loro sigle (a cui alcuni cantanti nostrani devono la loro carriera): è la nostra infanzia, quella più felice e spensierata.
E allora diamo inizio a questo viaggio nostalgico.
Un manga di fantascienza scritto e illustrato da Leiji Matsumoto, pubblicato in Giappone dal 1977 al 1979
Il capitano Harlock è un emarginato diventato pirata - alla guida di una astronave spaziale, l'Arcadia - dopo essersi ribellato al governo della Terra e l'apatia generale che caratterizza l'umanità dell'anno 2977.

Mixed technique blending research, culture, painting and a modern type of mosaic. Carla Bertoli converts the usage of recycable materials into an artistic form, uses recycled elements with the mosaic technique and transforms them into pictorial and volumetric pieces that compose the parts of the support in 3D.
Carla Bertoli was born in August 1963 in Milan, where she still lives and works. During her childhood she gets in touch with artisanal ability through her grandfather, a skilled wood carver, and her father, a goldsmith and artist who exhibited his creations for the Milan company Cusi at the New York Moma in the years 1950 to 55.
This closeness to artistic techniques alongside the interest in arts as a privileged channel of expression leads her to study the ancient technique of mosaic: 1994 through 2000 she attends several courses in mosaics. In 2002 she attends the studio of Paolo Maimonte, teacher at the Milan Castello Sforzesco School of Applied Arts, where she expands the historic knowledge of the technique from the Byzantine age to today, the study of chromatic relations and of materials.
A different interest, connected to the vibration properties of crystals and the chromatic properties of semiprecious stones, imprints her first creations.
The educational path of the artist feeds on rich encounters: she attends the cultural gatherings of Maria Teresa Isenburg, aka Maté, who introduces her to the use of materials taken from everyday life that, fragmented, assume an artistic function; in parallel, she strengthens her interest in pictorial expression by attending the Free Academy of Painting led by Vittorio Viviani in 2008/2009.
These are the years when Carla Bertoli identifies the reference of her artistic research: portraying famous people and clients, recalling chromatic contrasts typical of Pop Art, enhanced with refined framing angles.
Starting 2007, the quest widens: the pictorial language bonds with the mosaic technique that, beyond an even more skilled execution, becomes a terrain for experimentation. Carla transforms recycled elements into mosaic material, into pictorial and volumetric pieces composing parts of the support.
In 2012 she achieves the Certificate of Completion of the Abramovich Method.
In 2013 she starts a parallel path, evolving her artistic capacities, immersing in abstract art. This allows her to try new painting techniques and new chromatic effects, pushing beyond the boundaries imposed by shapes.
