Annie Manero | Abstract painter

Annie Manero is realized in a passion for painting that she has not always been able to express totally in the family years, but that takes her from her adolescence towards the study of the painting of others, the big ones.

Closer, for more than 20 years, she has let her imagination paint for her.

Her paintings open up her sensitivity for the colors they are in the tone or in the harmonies.

They also enlighten us by their lights, and those of our regions have magical reflections on the ponds and on the sea.

She explored the themes of nature that surrounds us and finally all the visions of travel and especially the eternal Venice that inspired him a lot.

Hermann Hesse | Tienimi per mano al tramonto.. / Hold my hand at sunset

Tienimi per mano al tramonto,

quando la luce del giorno si spegne e l’oscurità fa scivolare il suo drappo di stelle…

Tienila stretta quando non riesco a viverlo questo mondo imperfetto…

Tienimi per mano…

portami dove il tempo non esiste…

Tienila stretta nel difficile vivere.
