Showing my heart

Showing my heart

My art and my life are closely connected.  It’s probably the same for every artist and creator.

In 2019 I realised that I was hiding, and it was a lifelong survival response. Little by little I started to discover and show parts of me that in the past would be secret or forgotten. Walking barefoot, dancing in public… using the heart symbol in my art to understand and integrate the opening and expansion of my own heart.

Here there’s a yellow tetrahedron that represents the heart of the heart. 

When I discovered my heart, I could feel more love and start to express it with words.

And a feeling of being able to locate the heart, that in the past was behind walls.

I joined a coherence healing group and while healing someone else I would feel the energy of my heart growing bigger. So I made "Heart expansion".

In time, that energy expanded so much that it would be like a circular wave around me, like a ripple in water, and I made "Heart expansion 2.0", on a bigger canvas.

I would think about many hearts working together with the same goal of healing a person, so I started to think about how could I make "a heart of hearts". I realised that the single tetrahedron is one heart and one person , and I made an artwork with the basic shape of the heart, but multiplied by 4, with 4 tetrahedrons acting like one. I used the 7 colour of the rainbow, that correspond to the colours of the energy centres in the body. These 7 types of tetrahedrons symbolise people at different stages of their life, that are coming together forming a beautiful organism that is the sum of them and more, with the added beauty of the fractal and the 7 colours together.
