AVANTI SEMPRE AVANTI/FORWARD ALWAYS FORWARD is testimony to Silvana Ancellotti-Diaz's keen sensibilities as a viewer, gallerist, and above all, a lover of beauty and art’s ineffable ability to move the soul and evoke a plethora of emotions that range from elation to wonderment, leading to some form of action. Conceptually, each piece signifies a musical note in a lyrical composition. Each artist’s distinctive use of materials, techniques, space, visual concepts, and artistic languages resonates within each gallery and between the two.
Look at, listen to, and feel the paintings, mixed media, paper works, and sculptures contoured deep within the senses. Lean into each artwork’s title. They are portals for understanding conceptual and artistic expressions. These visual languages are slivers of life experiences, concerns with the times in which they have lived. They address cultural and social issues including but not limited to nature, gender, ritual, mythology, labor, and the sublime that resist didactic interpretations.
