Cristina Torre Cáceres: "'Se domani non torno..."

Se domani non rispondo alle tue chiamate, mamma.

Se non ti dico che vengo a cena.

Se domani, non vedi arrivare il taxi.

Forse sono avvolta nelle lenzuola di un hotel, su una strada o in una borsa nera.

Forse sono in una valigia o mi sono persa sulla spiaggia.

Monica Cattaneo, 1953 | Romantic Surrealist painter

Born in Florence, Monica Cattaneo - artist of Italian origin but naturalised Swiss citizen, seems to achieve in her painting a perfect fusion of the three pictorial styles, Marc Chagall’s Expressionism, René Magritte’s Surrealism and Antonio Donghi’s Magical Realism, giving life to a personal and original language in which nature and the human being’s relationship with it become the focal point.

Her protagonists, predominantly women, seem to emerge from a parallel world in which the atmosphere is rarefied, suspended between reality and dream, between images traceable to details that the eye recognises and an almost paradisiacal dimension in which all that surrounds the human being is the element of flora and fauna, which becomes the co-protagonist of the canvas itself.

Ferdinand Leeke (1859-1937)
