Eucalyptus

Art Installation and collective exhibition "The Tree of the Trees" by Aipan

Tornando a visitare quei luoghi dove, da parte di madre, affondano le mie radici, dopo aver a lungo vissuto altrove, mi sono ritrovata a percorrere il “valle sagrado”, la valle sacra degli Incas. Da qui, si aprono immensi spazi aperti, cieli blu cobalto, e ai piedi di cime ghiacciate, distese di erba bassa ma coriacea che tocca tutte le sfumature dell’ocra. Ad mitigare l’asprezza di questi luoghi, ci sono, tra i radi alberi locali, gli eucalipti. Questo albero è notoriamente autoctono dell’Oceania, ma è stato piantumato sulla sierra peruviana in seguito ad un progetto governativo atto ad incrementare le scarse risorse dei contadini locali, attraverso il commercio di olio di eucalipto. L’aspra bellezza di questa valle, non aveva quest’aspetto al tempo degli Incas, ma è così che si è presentata ai miei sensi, con il profumo degli eucalipti a pervadere l’aria e con le loro chiome a stagliarsi contro il cobalto del cielo andino, per questo l’eucalipto, ricondurrà sempre il mio spirito a questi luoghi, che hanno ospitato i miei “ancestros”.
 
 



Costa Rica

  The Ars et Natura project in Costa Rica
In collaboration with the Costa Rica Tourism Board ICT and the association "Foreste per sempre", a group of italian artists travelled in the north of the Country, from the Pacific coast, going through central mountains, to get to the Atlantic coast. The project aims to portray Costa Rica's flora and fauna through sketches and paintings.

Vallée de Mai
oil on canvas cm 50 x 40
This place is like a green cathedral, a sacred and ancient place; I walk slowly, trying to be quiet, I don't want to invade the sacredness of this place with the sound of my footsteps... what an illusion! I just realized the sound of my footsteps is hardly perceptible compared with the rumble of the palm leaves rubbed against each others by the wind. A deafening noise, interrupted at times by the cracking of a branch falling from the mother plant. It's the voice of the forest singing to the tune of a musician called wind.
