Large canvases painted by Ardoq (Ardo Quaranta) on the theme of the Witches, intended as a homage to the free and independent spirit of women. Works made with ink, acrylic and gold leaf.
Grandi tele dipinte da Ardoq (Ardo Quaranta) sul tema delle Streghe, inteso come omoggio allo spirito libero e indipendente delle donne. Opere realizzate con incchiostro, acrilico e foglia d'oro.
Perché le Streghe?
Le streghe rappresentano la delicatezza e la forza: la libertà delle donne di essere sé stesse, in una società di modelli precostituiti.
Siamo tutti esseri umani in balia dei sentimenti e delle passioni, e per questo esseri bellissimi e fragili.
Le streghe sono l’espediente narrativo con cui racconto frammenti della nostra vita.
Le streghe sono l’espediente narrativo con cui racconto frammenti della nostra vita.
Nelle mie opere il tratto si libera del superfluo, i contrasti netti, le trame intricate ma al contempo chiare, come metafora di un viaggio ascetico che cerca nella sintesi del pensiero una via per la libertà.
Altro tema ricorrente nelle opere sono i capelli, declinati come propaggine dei pensieri, con le loro intricate involuzioni e leggiadri guizzi, riempiono lo spazio di una massa fluida, nera, compatta e insondabile.
Why the Witches?
Witches represent delicacy and strength: the freedom of women to be themselves, in a society of pre-established models.
We are all human beings at the mercy of feelings and passions, and therefore beautiful and fragile beings.
Witches are the narrative device with which I tell fragments of our life.
Witches are the narrative device with which I tell fragments of our life.
In my works the stroke is clear, the contrasts sharp, the intricate but at the same time clear plots, as a metaphor for an ascetic journey that seeks a way to freedom in the synthesis of thought.
Another recurring theme in the works are hair, declined as an offshoot of thoughts, with their intricate involutions and graceful flashes, filling the space with a fluid, black, compact and unfathomable mass.
If you fell in love with one of these Witches and you would like her to be yours ...
