= CURA ANIMARUM I have promised a blog entry about the thoughts behind "CURA, Story of a Whale", so I will try to remember a few things, now that the second drawing is finished. I am in the mood for writing right now, I might even make sense. If you would like to remain with your own ideas about the drawings, please don´t read further. "CURA" is the first drawing and "ANIMA" is the second. Together they form a complete story and their official shared title is "CURA ANIMARUM",

A post about painting with Black Light Paint. For my recent work "0 100 0 0 / Magenta", where I drew jellyfish, I experimented with acrylic Black Light Paint. Today they come in many colours and you can easily get them on the internet. My wish was to make the jellyfish glow under black light, so people could first take a look at them in normal daylight and than have a special "lights out" feature, where the drawing would come to life as if they were deep under the sea surface

This year at the end of April 2016, more exact on the 23rd of April, the beautiful Villa Valier hosted the international group exhibition in the heart of Mira, Italy. It was a beautiful event with artists that flew in from every continent, showcasing their works in a unique space of an old Italian villa. (more photos of the event can be found on www.biennalerivieradelbrenta.com) Mira is located only a short distance from Venice and its canal is lined with old summer residence
