Monica Silva: Absence - A Madonna from the Future Century (manifesto against the war in the world)

At the upcoming  Mia Image Art Fair 2022, Paola Colombari Art Gallery, Booth 12, Hall C

Monica Silva presents ABSENCE at Mia Fair 2022, the first shot of a on going project that will include the reinterpretation of thirty-three Marian images.

The title Absence underlines that war tear us apart, creates emptiness by suppressing affections, destroying daily life, erasing all future prospects.
For this new work, the artist travels through time and brings us an unexpected religious icon from the future, a vision never realized before.
Using the depiction of the Madonna and Child as a figurative image, Monica Silva creates her own synthesis and triggers her provocation:..o.

A photograph that is an exhortation to turn in the mind and heart to respect for life, to bring about a radical change in society based on the search for the common good of peace and prosperity for the entire planet, a human revolution based on interior disarmament. Metamorphosis symbolized by the butterflies on the rays of the crown.

This deep hidden expression, often with extremely painful meanings, is one of the constant traits of Monica Silva's photography works.
