The museum of the home is my favourite museum in London. Made this artwork from a photo of it I took many years ago when it was still called "Geffrey Museum". At the time I was living in London, not far from the museum. I wanted to celebrate this serene part of the gardens, with the benches, the green of the shrubs and the lawn and the bright yellow flowers echoing the light of the dying sun on the upper branches of the trees in the background. Love the buildings at the back, with just a glimpse of a modern one at the very back, that reminds me of the beauty of London: a city where old and new can be found next to one another, in perfect harmony and actually enhancing one another. London is very important in my art practice, as it was there that I first started using the oil pastel technique, many years ago. This technique is still my favourite at the moment and it really defines how I look at things and people around me. The oil pastels allow me to make a quick sketch of what I see, capturing the vibrancy and liveness of the moment; and, at the same time, to add deepness and layers and make drawing which is almost a painting, but without being overworked. I think oil pastels really help me to keep things fresh in my art. This, like all the artworks from this series, has been treated with three layers of fixative spray, nonetheless I advise to promptly frame it with a glass to protect it from the dust. I hope this artwork will transport you to a beautiful oasis of calm in the beautiful city of London. Agerola, 24th May 2023

Italy
"Mary Cinque is an Italian painter, graphic designer and blogger working and living in the Amalfi Coast. Her works – joyful, bright, colourful painting and drawings – are inspired by this place, as well as her heritage, background and travels. Mary spent her childhood between Italy and Ethiopia. Before moving back to the Amalfi Coast in 2019, she has lived in Naples and Milan, where she attended academies of fine art; and Philadelphia, New York and London where she improved her artistic skills and style. Alongside making art, she works as an illustrator and graphic designer, collaborating with selected brands, working on artistic commissions such as illustrations, labels and showroom design. Cinque’s art develops themes connected with what makes us essentially humans: our habitat – the buildings, the streets, the cities – our bodies, what we eat and how we socialise. Art, in Mary’s paintings, becomes a powerful instrument of philosophical investigation which reveals who we really are by questioning our habits, observing those characteristic traits we share as a species, often without realising it. The artist looks at human beings from a different perspective, making interesting and significant what can seem normal or banal to us in our everyday life: the buildings that populate our cities, the streets we walk, people sitting across our table at a café, strangers on the bus. In this nutshell interview by Giulia Corti, Mary Cinque explores some of the most relevant aspects of her art and reflects on how it offers an intriguing and informative perspective about the way we live as human animals. Mary, your art is colourful and vivid, it mixes human and urban subjects by making use of various techniques (oil painting; pastel drawing, markers, “digital” drawing, print-making etc.) and materials (canvasses, magazine pages, an I-pad screen). How do you choose the means with which to develop an artwork and how do the different materials and techniques influence what you want to convey, if they do? Different subjects call for different techniques. Buildings and urbanscape are always acrylic on canvas, while I prefer to depict people using a quicker, immediate approach, like the one that I can get with markers and oil pastels or digital painting. By looking at the main themes of your art, it is possible to notice what seems to be a tension. On one hand, you portrayed the stillness and artificiality of urban landscapes and buildings (e.g.
