The essence of this exhibition lies in the exploration of how poetry can inform and inspire visual expression. Each painting within the collection serves as a visual interpretation of a specific poem, reflecting not only its literal content but also its emotional depth and thematic resonance.

Drawing upon a diverse range of materials and techniques, I infused each artwork with a unique aesthetic identity, mirroring the distinctive qualities of the poems that inspired them. From bold brushstrokes to delicate collage elements, my process was guided by a spirit of experimentation and creativity, allowing for the organic emergence of form and meaning.

Through the synthesis of poetry and painting, we created an immersive experience that invited viewers to engage with both the written and visual aspects of the work. By presenting these two forms of expression side by side, we hoped to foster a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of art and literature, and the ways in which they enrich and complement one another.

In conceptualizing this exhibit we were inspired by the idea of collaboration and dialogue, both between artist and poet, and between artwork and audience. This collection not only showcased the power of artistic interpretation but also sparked meaningful conversations and connections among those who encountered it.

Through this exhibit, Tina Biello and I celebrated the beauty of language and imagery, and explored the boundless potential of artistic expression.
