To know that Emma De Marzi is exhibiting is to be certain that she will delight us with a work that is rich in subtlety and expression, conveyed in color, texture, images and symbols that seem to spring from the canvass to acquire a life of their own, she manages to transform them into sound, smell and emotion. To become acquainted with Emma’s work is to journey through the passages (and landscapes) of a soul that she generously shares with us so that we can see and interpret the different aspects of a mind that works in harmony with art. This Argentine painter was born in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina under the sign of Capricorn. Her personality perfectly combines the tenacious goat with the audacity and determination of an ascendant in Aquarius – a mix that is characteristic throughout her work and in her commitment to herself and to her community. Let us look at her horses. See the expression on their faces. Allow yourselves to be carried off by the intentions behind their movements. We can almost feel these animals galloping; hear the sound of horseman’s whip against their shiny equine hides. The open space closes in on this perfect union which is charged with power and submission, the desire repressed within he who believes that he can do it all yet knows that he cannot do it alone. Blue horses. Heaven and hell, light and shadow; the power and the danger. These horses are looking at us and are saying: “it is not all over yet.” The game and chance in the artist’s pictorial metaphor.

Carmen Bonannata Vinciguerra
