ABOUT THE ARTIST

. Barbara Piatti is a narrator. Her paintings are talking about life, meeting people and at the same time they are a diary of her unsaturated curiosity. Piatti’s works are philosophical and precious. You sink into them; feel the force of nature and the author’s power. She makes us really dreaming. In her strong presence the works wake up our demands and longings to share the artist's unsaturated curiosity. She is a traveller, always looking for what could be next: invisibility, unspeakable things and what is proper for discoverers: to surmount horizons, to open new perspectives. B.P. the painter, like she calls herself, but she is much more for me. She is a painter, philosopher and a contemporary traveller, but always an artist. She is a discovery.

ARTWORK STORY

La Catrina, a colourful lady skeleton with a large hat and elegant clothing, is THE symbol of the Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and is famous beyond Mexico’s borders. The figure was probably created by the Mexican artist José Guadalupe Posada making fun of the pre-revolutionary Mexican upper class.The cult around the colourful lady skeleton lady has become a popular tradition. As I have been working about Mexico in painting, I could not forget the main figure of La Catrina to paint.
