What inspired you to create art and become an artist? (Events, feelings, experiences...)
I could never really express myself with words, but with drawings ,photographs it worked out
What is your artistic background, what techniques and themes have you experimented with so far?
25 years of fashion and portrait photography have shaped me and suddenly the image alone was not enough answer for me!
What 3 aspects differentiate you from other artists and make your work unique?
I can not answer, because I do not compare myself with other artists
Where does your inspiration come from?
To discover images NEW ,to change the conventional point of view
What is your artistic approach? What visions, sensations or feelings do you want to evoke in the viewer?
The answer is already in question 4. ....den horizon to look at things you see from a different perspective and thus start a new journey
What is the process of creating your works? Spontaneous or with a long preparation process (technical, inspiration from art classics or other)?
First comes the work on the portraits, the brushstroke is more intuitive and can take some time until I feel a great satisfaction inside ....this can consume up to 10 paintings until one is right
Do you use a particular working technique? if so, can you explain?
I can not explain ....es is the ,,flow,, between paint ,brush the right momentum and me.
Are there innovative aspects to your work? Can you tell us which ones?
In times of image invasion (social media etc. ) one should reinvent sophisticated photography
Do you have a format or medium that you feel most comfortable with? if so, why?
Can't answer
Where do you produce your work? At home, in a shared workshop, or in your own workshop? And how do you organize your creative work in this space?
In my home, which is also my studio
Does your work take you traveling to meet new collectors, for fairs or exhibitions? If yes, what does it bring you?
No, does not lead to that... I just want to make my work, do not think about the future of the paintings (one of my weaknesses )
How do you envision the development of your work and career as an artist in the future?
Continue to develop the horizon for new ways of looking at images
What is the theme, style or technique of your latest artistic production?
To recognize the image, the brushstroke is the language to it, without words
If you could have created a famous work of art history, which one would you choose ? And why ?
There are many, and I would be remiss to answer....but I would have liked to create the orgasm, because it is such a great feeling and cannot be explained with words and reason.
If you could invite a famous artist (dead or alive) to dinner, who would it be? How would you suggest him to spend the evening?
Well, if already then Gerhard Richter during a long evening walk
Olimpia Gaia Martinelli
