I was born in Modena, I grew up in the surroundings of Milan and I live in the Province of Padua. What I mostly love of Po Valley is the embrace of the fog, which makes everything slower and more human. I love art, the talent of conveying emotions, in any form. Images, literature, music are expressions I live in reciprocal relationship. The discovery of a personal use of the scanner, pure off camera or with graphic elaboration, has enabled me to express the world as I live it inside of me, as I can feel it, not in an exact correspondence with factual reality; in other words closer to my own truth. Initially I tried with writing, poems and short stories above all. Yet, I felt I had never totally reached the sensations and the deep essence I wanted to convey. Far from thinking that now I succeed in reaching that, I can say I manage to set my thoughts free more effectively ; I like interweaving images and writings and I can also feel stronger harmony between mind and spirit. Thus I started making a more professional use of the camera too. I soon felt curiosity. The satisfaction I went through, and that I’m still going through, encourages me to “dare” more and more. That’s the way I started to make actual pictures using mixed techniques, making printing on canvas of different materials, canvas and polyester and using oil, acrylic, glue, silicon.
Antonella Sassanelli nata a Modena, milanese di adozione, vive ora ad Abano Terme in provincia di Padova. Ciò che ama di più della Valle del Po è l’abbraccio della nebbia, capace di rendere tutto più lento e umano. La genesi delle sue opere ha origine da “figure” espresse con linguaggio scritto unito alle immagini. Scanner e macchina fotografica i suoi “altri” occhi.La sua creatività è ispirata dal ritrarre emozioni attraverso immagini metaforiche. Gli strumenti di esecuzione vedono la partecipazione di tecniche miste: dallo scanner all’ olio, dall’elaborazione grafica agli acrilici.
