Felicita…..

Among the icy winds accompanying the beginning of our century on the threshold of dream for-saken nights, the painting of the Erietta Vordoni, archieologist of lost complicities, traps sentiments, sumptuous as holy banners, familiar as votaries.

Voroni’s work nourished by her own poet- ical and metaphysical reflections eloquent- ly evoke life’s profundities. Life in its infinite. expressions with its plurality of forms, in its evanescent moments.

Eriettas Vordoni work is a hymn to the fragility of touch and the aestheticism of painting. She does not paint descriptions and narra- tives, but spiritual conditions, feelings and impressions. She speaks about the imma- teriality of life, the beauty of ephemerality and the value of intimacy. A work that invites us to engage in meditation.

In these pictures, Vordoni seems to be making quite fundamental points about art’s role in the self’s recognition of a certain quality of existence that transcends all forms of worldly aspiration. To have any sense of being integrated with the cosmos, one must also possess an acute feeling of scale, a state of mind in which the measure of the human form acts as a kind of central reference point from which all acts of contemplation emerge outword. Throughout history, art has reminded us that this state of balance does not usually come automatically, but requires a certain effort on our part – – an exertion of will which differs from place to place, and from one era to the next. As if to uphold these ambigious standards, Erietta Vordoni’s work manages to replicate the very moment in which this balance is achieved, safeguarding it for some point in the future, when we will need to be reminded once more.
