Critical comment by Elisabetta La Rosa Art Historian & Art Manager


Let yourself be enveloped by the wonder of the night, told through the pictorial gestures of Maristella Angeli, an emotional artist who, in the essence of chromatic studies, narrates his suggestions on life.

It is the living matrix of the artist's thought that shapes the work A mantle of fireflies, Maristella wants to invite everyone to believe in their dreams, looking beyond what appears. In fact, the fireflies "represent what illuminates the invisible".
Technically the artist gives life to a narrative in the making, we observe this mantle of fireflies that leads the gaze to the sky, from there dreams are born.
Maristella succeeds in the three-dimensional rendering of the work also supported by the wooden material where the color acquires a material rendering, it almost seems to perceive that atmospheric layer marked by the reverberation of the stars, of the moonlight, supported by the fireflies, making the perception of the air material.
A nocturnal emotion, a daydream that is articulated in the essence of Maristella's thoughts, which she manages to transform into material essence through a meticulous study of the figure that is assembled with the abstraction of the thoughts of the mind.
