Games Without Frontiers ": painting Manuela Nicolini.

Through his painting cosmic that occurs in ocean color, Manuela Nicolini (lives and works in Ghedi - BS) evokes scenes of the mind, psychedelic on the borders of perception.
Travel in magical worlds where sidereal appear suspended territories sprayed with memory processing in nature, places where coagulated material moves from subtle energies of the substances, explosion of enormous magnitude instantly observed by an eye sparkling with wonder child. A figuration clearly wanted to make the body visible to the forms do not always understand our thoughts, a faculty returned to painting not only capable of making the translation of macro events of imagination, but also to help our inner harmony through a kind of game, the do not ever know what the actual findings.
The color is understood as the light, left to its own destiny over the areas, in an apparently uncontrolled and therefore able to remain cosmography impressive. The amount of disorder found in its formal randomness becomes part of a higher order in any of the works of Manuela appear homogeneous masses of colors, while moving, and creating mixed infinite variables, colors like cream emerged from the folds in the navel of the world, medulla where intelligence flows of galaxies.
The evolution of swirling colors, sometimes perched on protruding lumps, sometimes in liquefaction, finds its place in space visionaries from comets crossed on the road and is revealed in all its evocative power.
Manuela is that of an extreme form of abstraction, where the case takes a particular importance, as if painting were to be allowed a specific living, partly overcoming the intentions of the artist. Nature of abstract expressionism twentieth, dripping of interiority, which delivers stille for the understanding of the future, inhabited by staining in chaos but it is never the bearer of the drama, indeed, if anything is through a return to our dimension soft, although unknown and unearthly.
In part, by the masses and dilated colored buttons, there is a recognized human morphology, as if the bodies and symbols were present but submerged in a smooth navigation.
So here is distinguishable red figure lying white and cloaked in the explosion of the Milky Way, the giant heart flooded by multicolor echo of the fundamental vibrations and the fascinating look of a woman in the air above the waves of yellow fire of imagination. Aesthetic intentions of an artist capable of "intra-see" and show our sensitivity to the snapshots of this world in constant mutation.

The sound belongs to this visionary iconography sprinkled with positive energy: you can imagine the explosion constituent, of the revolutionary, which occurred 15 billion years ago and in which all living things. Music, sometimes like the rumble of thunder, at other times as the jingling of bells tubular, and others such as the air hit the gong to indicate junctions between West and East, for the determination of a third force to which one turns from sin 'Dawn of Humanity. In search of the forces for the future, as is observing the work "Speed Rock" in 2008, designed by Manuela, a few days after seeing the competition in speed climbing, held on bristlys concrete walls of the dam of Enel in Bissina, Daone Valley.

Speed and compositional intuition for this latest artistic surface, obtained with a technique from the many variations in an assembly that processes visual strategies among geometric elements and gaseous dust. So here is the huge gray and verticality of the dam returned with spatula decided passages, the spaciousness of the sky and then release waste of azure blue to the ground, these tiny spots on white traces to indicate the two athletes while they are climbing, the glow orange festival of sport, given that the orange color is the logo of the event. Even this more intentional lives of the same, usual, splendid and burning intensity.
Congratulations Manuela!
You have created a "Games Without Frontiers
returned to us in a mix of substances that can move me.
