🪬📣 ANNOUNCEMENT THE TAROT PAINTINGS #cristallinafischetti #tarot #painting #abstract

The Tarot brief:

Everything I have experienced thus far has led me to this moment. On a path of self discovery, recognition of shadow and light, acceptance of change.

I hope you love these paintings as much as I have enjoyed making them. My main aim in these works is for them to uplift you. I hope they take you on a journey of self discovery. For me these works have been a tool for invocation, to conjure up a specific archetype that I may wish to embody and integrate, they have helped me to manifest, to go deeper in my connection and co-creation with The Universe and its laws for an higher existence on this human plane.

I hope they make you wonder, help you escape into colour and its many tonalities and frequencies. I pray that they are positive reflections of your current state of being and if they are not, I pray they re-route you onto your highest path, with what is fated for you while still feeling in control of your destiny. In the same why that I paint with a planned and intentional execution, most times it is improvised, they paint brushes happen by chance which is also important to having open spaces for explorations, for breath and freedom.

Even in the darkest pit of hell theres a light, the opposite is true, we are both. The hero explores the light and shadow on the journey, discovering fellows, friends and foe, creatures from other dimensions and entities creeping into the mind space pulling us off path. Find your integration, find your path, find your light and live your life, your truth with stories to share over and over again and again. This is my prayer.

" Being an artist is who you are and it manifests itself in the work."

Fran Lebowitz

With love and gratitude to all the creatures and beings I have met along the journey.

ABOUT THE WORKS
ABOUT THE WORKS

These works deal with masks and unmasking, life on line and life off line, hyper-reality, post-humanism, archetypes, reflexivity, the hero's journey, mysticism, mystification, identity, transcendence and apotheosis in an urban world.

These works began in 2022 during a Dark Night of The Soul and completed April, 2024.

The works refer to: objecthood, chance, mark-making, the gesture, chroma, the performative, impasto and agency.

🪬📣 ANNOUNCEMENT THE TAROT PAINTINGS #cristallinafischetti #tarot #painting #abstract

The Tarot brief:

Everything I have experienced thus far has led me to this moment. On a path of self discovery, recognition of shadow and light, acceptance of change.

I hope you love these paintings as much as I have enjoyed making them. My main aim in these works is for them to uplift you. I hope they take you on a journey of self discovery. For me these works have been a tool for invocation, to conjure up a specific archetype that I may wish to embody and integrate, they have helped me to manifest, to go deeper in my connection and co-creation with The Universe and its laws for an higher existence on this human plane.

I hope they make you wonder, help you escape into colour and its many tonalities and frequencies. I pray that they are positive reflections of your current state of being and if they are not, I pray they re-route you onto your highest path, with what is fated for you while still feeling in control of your destiny. In the same why that I paint with a planned and intentional execution, most times it is improvised, they paint brushes happen by chance which is also important to having open spaces for explorations, for breath and freedom.

Even in the darkest pit of hell theres a light, the opposite is true, we are both. The hero explores the light and shadow on the journey, discovering fellows, friends and foe, creatures from other dimensions and entities creeping into the mind space pulling us off path. Find your integration, find your path, find your light and live your life, your truth with stories to share over and over again and again. This is my prayer.

" Being an artist is who you are and it manifests itself in the work."

Fran Lebowitz

With love and gratitude to all the creatures and beings I have met along the journey.

ABOUT THE WORKS

These works deal with masks and unmasking, life on line and life off line, hyper-reality, post-humanism, archetypes, reflexivity, the hero's journey, mysticism, mystification, identity, transcendence and apotheosis in an urban world.

These works began in 2022 during a Dark Night of The Soul and completed April, 2024.

The works refer to: objecthood, chance, mark-making, the gesture, chroma, the performative, impasto and agency.
