So long, 2020
So, this should be a post with my 2020 highlights, but I thought to start with a laugh, by reading what I wrote at the end of 2019:

Did you know I graduated in Art History in Rome? Is there a better place in the world to study Art? I don’t think so!
That’s part of the reason why I moved to the Eternal City from Northern Italy to fulfil my dream of study the beauties created by humankind across the centuries.
Researches show that teams are particularly successful when very specialised people meet multipotentialites – or multipods. That’s because the two categories put together a very focused vision with a creative approach that explores various points of view.
Contatto is the search for that feeling of human connection. Artists who have roots in Ireland and beyond are the protagonists of this story, the story of Ireland’s creativity, a story that is not complete without these voices.

The total lockdown in Ireland is over since Monday 18th, so it made sense to finish my project just before it.
The lockdown in Ireland is coming close to an end, so this is the penultimate blog post with my beloved Isolation Portraits.
It’s been quite a trip down to memory lane, meeting all these friends during the last two months. I’ve been sharing with you pieces of my life and heart, just because.

Each one of the friends I’m introducing to you, reminds me of how many different people I have been. How many personas I wore. But I can also see my own pattern.
