As one of the current Monira Foundation artists-in-residence @ayresbrooklyn , I am taking over @monirafoundation ig today. I’d like to share the work of fellow Monira Resident Mara De Luca!! You can follow Mara here: @maradelucastudio "To me, a painting is like theater: you fall into the illusion as a true believer, all the while aware of the artifice and knowing it's a constructed thing." - Mara De Luca "I think of surface and depth in painting as visual principles and also philosophical ideas: a work expressing emotional depth can be utterly superficial, whereas what appears to be all surface can resonate deeply, both intellectually and spiritually." - Mara De Luca - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #contemporaryart #contemporysculpture #artist #emergingartist #mixedmedia #installationart #contemporarypainting #dance #newlanguages #sculpture #painting #abstractart #film #performanceart #monirafoundation #artistresidency #emergingartist #architecture #newaesthetics #abstraction
