The Biennale d’Arte is an international cultural event organized every two years in Venice, Italy by the Biennale Foundation. This exhibition was established in 1895 in Venice. The Biennale d’Arte has the ability to anticipate new trends in art and, at the same time, to propose new works, artists from every era.
This year is the third edition of the Biennale d’Arte in the Milazzo Castle, where sixty different artists participated from all over Italy, in particular from Sicily, but also from abroad: the Ukraine, Bucarest and Morag.
The Milazzo Castle was a very important fortress for the northern control of Sicily. These strong walls were created by Arabs after 843, to protect the city from enemies. In this famous Castle school trips, concerts, and art exhibitions, like this Biennale, are organized.
There were many portraits but these are only some of those we liked the most:
Sara: My favorite portrait of this exhibition is “Potenza e Nobiltà”. The artist of this painting is Sheryl Virgona.
I love the subject, the colors and the technique that the painter has used.
This painting is about a horse that’s galloping in a meadow; and he’s painted so well that it really looks like he’s moving.
This portrait is named “Potenza e Nobiltà”, I think because horses give a sense of power and because in historical times only nobles had horses.
I did research about Scheryl and I discovered that she has a passion for horses, like me, and that’s why she painted a horse for this important exhibition.
Antonella: Of all the wonderful paintings I saw, the one that struck me the most was this one, entitled ‘Trasformazione’. The artist of this square is Carbone Marilena.
I think that the artist has given this title to the painting, because the woman depicted seems to be transforming also thanks to the colors we can understand that the woman is evolving.
I love all of this square, the colors, the subject and the technique that the painter has used.
Chiara: My favorite picture was this one with this young girl. The spectacular eyes of this woman, give me serenity and tranquillity and makes me feel calm.
Have we made you curious too? Well, come and see the exhibition. It’s definitely worth it!
