THESE ARTWORKS HAVE MANY MEANINGS, OPEN OUR EYES ON THE SOCIETY AROUND US, OPEN OUR EYES ON A REALITY THAT IS OFTEN DIFFERENT FROM THE WAY IT LOOKS BECAUSE OF THE IMPULSES THAT WE CONSTANTLY RECEIVE AND/OR OUR DESIRE TO SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM THE REALITY ITSELF.
OPEN OUR EYES ON OURSELVES, PARTICULARLY ON WHAT WE REALLY WANT AND VALUE TO BE THE REAL MEANING OF OUR INDIVIDUAL LIFE. " GABRIELLA MALDINI
" PARTICULARLY, THE MAIN CHARACTERS OF ANTONELLA’ S WORKS ARE THE EYES, FROM HER STYLISTIC , EXPRESSIVE AND NARRATIVE POINT OF VIEW. IN HER DRAWINGS THE EYES BECOME THE PERFECT METAPHOR BEHIND OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WORLD AND WITH OURSELVES.
CLOSED EYES REPRESENT OUR INABILITY OR WILL NOT SEE WHAT SURROUNDS US EVEN WHEN LOOKING AT PEOPLE OR THINGS THAT ARE PART OF OUR INNER CIRCLE LIKE OUR FAMILY MEMBERS OR OURSELVES.
OPEN EYES REPRESENTS INSTEAD THE ABILITY TO SEE THE REALITY WITHOUT FILTERS SUCH AS THE MEDIA OR OUR OWN DEEP DESIRES. " GABRIELLA MALDINI
