The artist has an elegant mark of nature, and the experience of working en plein air allows her to capture emotions that would otherwise not be possible. She is considered Italy's best botanical artist and collaborates with many botanical gardens where she also holds watercolour courses, a technique she masters like few contemporary artists. The artist herself prepared the background in real, stainless gold, which gives it a modern, warm surface that chameleonically matches the colours of the surrounding walls. Margherita Leoni was born and raised in Italy, however, she spent most of her adult life in San Paulo, Brazil. It was there that she started a collaboration with the botanical faculty of the local university, allowing her to develop interesting research in rare botanical species studies and drawings. For this reason, most of her artworks, illustrate Brasilian botanical species, both rare and common. The artist's mastery of watercolour allows her to take part in botanical expeditions where she paints in plein air. Given her exquisite watercolour technique and her extensive botanical knowledge, Margherita Leoni is considered the heir of Margaret Mee. Among her most important exhibitions, three of her artworks were selected by Shirley Sherwood...

Frammento oil on canvas 120x100 cm In Marilina Marchica's search for the «authentic place» coincides with the mental one; her work originates within a score in which the harmonization between space, volume, shape and texture assumes fundamental importance. A sort of homorhythm with the earth. This connection makes experience dialogue with what is now in an unprecedented form of landscape, scattered with decadent traces belonging to actions, words, through the changing action of matter and chemistry converted into art. Marchica's works bear witness to the cyclical relationship between life and death: a continuous becoming whose elements, linked to the void and to an all too tangible absence, remain engraved and indelible like the footprints of the ground that we have trampled and that others after us they will trample, mixing our life with other stories...
