Acquerello en plein air
Ponte delle Sirenette
Painting and drawing en plein air in the park. from the Arch of Peace to the Branca Tower to the Sforza Castle: the difficulty and the pleasure of transforming the wonderful reality that constantly changes and stimulates all the senses in a colorful drawing. A symbolic representation: not a photo but an image of the outside world seen from a particular and unique point of view. The outside world and my personal subjective world come together in the watercolor. The two dimensions do not exist in nature: a surface appears two-dimensional only in relation to us. To a small ant the paper (which we think of as flat) will look like uneven ground, nothing is absolutely flat in nature. Therefore a drawing, a watercolor, are abstractions. Some think that photography is reality, while it is just another form of storytelling.

Yin Yoga and Sound Metaphors
Via Bartolomeo Eustachi, 4 Milano
I am happy to offer you the next meeting of Yin Yoga, a practice that helps us slow down and observe what flows inside us, guided by poetic and sound suggestions we will be able to welcome our emotions and exercise wonder in the heart. with FRANCESCA GIANCOTTI and ROBERTO BARBIERI It all starts when we finally slow down and stop, the mind calms down, the breath expands and allows us to contact our intimacy. We are sensitive beings and sometimes at the mercy of emotions "to cultivate the heart we must be aware of what we feel, be honest to the point of blushing and we can tell ourselves" (Chandra Livia Candiani) The practice of Yin yoga will allow us to slow down execution times, hold positions longer and deeply regenerate ourselves, thus opening up the possibility of releasing tensions and energy stagnations. Music as metaphors of the world, of the cosmos, of the whole universe, conceived as a whole. It will envelop us and make us experience unique and unrepeatable emotions, making us feel in touch with the cosmos. The concept of Harmony, for the Pythagoreans is defined as the unification of opposites. The cosmos therefore is harmony and even the soul can be defined as harmony as it is a kind of microcosm.
