Isabella Mara
In 1996 i took the Diploma in Grafic Art, c/o Istituto Statale D’Arte,Giussano, (Milano, I). i been away for some years, without pencil in the hand, until 2000 when I started study in Accademia di Belle Arti Di Brera (Milan) in the department of multidisciplinary arts.
During the years 2004-2005 I done Erasmus Project in Tallinn, to Estonian Kunst Accaademia, and I have had a scholarship for
it. After that experience, back in Milan I have accomplished my diploma work about the issue “The culture of Art in Estonia, in
transition from Soviet Time to European Community”, with the curator Luca Beatrice.
In 2006 I have had in Milan a workshop of performance, with Takla Improvising Group.
In the summer of the same year, I left for German, and I stopped my walking in Halle Saale, I took artist residence, to the artist
Carola Schimdt, the name of it was “Art of the invisible”, it means something that is ‘out’ the business system of art.
The year after I was select for the workshop, in Verona, “The drawing and the colour”, an alternative way of think painting out of the
academic ideas and modes, with the maestro Giovanni Meloni.
In this year I was the winner of stipendium from Cariverona Bank I always do every idea that I have in the mind, is the only mode for know: sometimes after 5 minutes I understand that is a bad
one, sometimes I continue to grind until the end. Write and draw are the invisibles basis of each one of my works, in the visible
way of the realization ever piece will have an appropriate media. The main point of my work is ethical, I look for do something:
“fragile and strong, light and unpersonality”.
